The author explains how to work criminal patrol in rural and inner city areas. The techniques that are discussed have been proven to work in the field by an experienced interdiction officer.

The author also breaks down possible criminal indicators inside vehicles and explains what they indicate. Once you can see these indicators, you can differentiate the kind of criminal activity potentially taking place. Each drug has specific indicators, and learning the differences between them will enhance your ability to better search vehicles and to find hidden contraband. The author discusses past cases and explains the reason for the traffic stop (probable cause) and the driving behavior and ties these indicators to the type of criminal activity (contraband). This book explains the reasons why people travel down the roadway and lists each reason followed by important clarifying interview questions. The book also contains interview themes for each type of vehicle that an officer should consider when interviewing people on a traffic stop. The interview section is very in depth and has a plethora of questions and thought-provoking ideas from which an officer can create their own style of questioning. The questions discussed are questions people should know the answer to if they are traveling for legitimate reasons. These questions and answers allow for great follow-up questions to catch the suspects in a lie! Tear through their story and call dispatch for a case number! Hook 'Em Up: It's 4:20 Somewhere!This book is tailored to the high-drive criminal patrol officer who has the desire to make a difference in their community. This book is for the officers who want to make case number after case number and then be on to the next arrest. It is for the officer who has four pending calls while locking up major felons. At the same time calls are pending, co-workers are complaining that they have to answer your calls for service. If people make fun of you and say, "why do you work so hard, we get paid the same," or "you can't save the world," or if you just want to be this type of pro-active, aggressive police officer, then you are this book's target audience!!!
