Sometimes unknown, sometimes improperly applied - but often contested - powers and duties are the cornerstone of most police operations. A good understanding of powers and duties is crucial in the work of a peace officer.

This book aims to provide help to those who wish to master the powers and duties of a peace officer. It will be of interest to future police officers as well as those currently serving as well as lawyers or any other person who wants to thoroughly understand the powers and duties of a peace officer.
