Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The purpose of this text is to guide and instruct the reader in all areas crucial to the effective presentation of evidence in criminal courtroom cases and to emphasize the importance of the part played by the proper advance preparation of reports and evidence prior to getting into the courtroom. The text clearly indicates how closely an officer's credibility is tied to his or her investigative report. The book thoroughly examines the various problems of evidence holding that often arise during the time between arrest and trial, and the steps that can be taken to ensure a smooth flowing presentation during the trial. The text discusses and instructs in great detail on the many facets of direct-examination and also takes the reader into the world which the officer-witness dreads most, that of cross-examination. Through sample testimony, the officer is instructed in how to recognize and understand the defense strategies employed in each of many different situations as well as in how to turn attacks by a defense attorney to the officer's own benefit. Many practical question-and-answer courtroom scenarios are provided as examples. In addition to direct- and cross-examination, other major sections of the book include the complete trial process, report writing, the pre-trial process, and the use of exhibits. Whether used as a reference or a textbook, this text will provide the police officer with the necessary tools to develop confidence, ability, and control in presenting courtroom testimony.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Law Enforcement Officer's Guide to Testifying in Court takes the fear and mystery out of courtroom proceedings as Vukelic offers practical advice on testifying in court. Officers are shown how to become excellent witnesses by knowing what to anticipate during cross-examination, the tricks used by lawyers at trial, and much more. This book offers information gained from discussions with thousands of jurors and scores of attorneys, observations from the bench, and other research. It is peppered with examples, many of them excerpted from actual trials. Vukelic shows officers how to shine on cross-examination, use courtroom rules to their advantage, improve their communication skills, and handle depositions. He also describes trial procedures from an insider's viewpoint as he takes readers through every step of the judicial process--from writing an arrest report through trial. Whether an officer has never been to court or has testified dozens of times, A Law Enforcement Officer's Guide to Testifying in Court will improve his or her ability to communicate with, and persuade, a judge and jury. "Being a witness is never easy. Being a witness for the first time is painful... A Law Enforcement Officer's Guide to Testifying in Court provides substantial guidance to those who are unfamiliar with testifying... Although the outcome of my first trial was positive, I am certain that I would have been a more comfortable and more effective witness had I read this book prior to appearing in court." -- Tom "Tad" Hughes, University of Louisville, Criminal Justice Review, Spring 2004
