Summary

This report describes police field procedures and their relevant supporting activities. Each of the thirteen sections describes standard practices which modern police departments should now be employing. Each section suggests new procedures which have been field tested and which can be adopted by police departments if the procedures appear to meet local conditions. There are pilot projects or other tests of novel procedures proposed. While these are promising, they have not yet been sufficiently tried out and evaluated to enable assessment of their general merit. In addition, the sections may explore general problems and discuss broad issues relevant to the successful application of field procedures and the effectiveness of law enforcement itself.
