RS/PC Pocket Guide

Book excerpt: The purpose of this book is straightforward - I want to help you articulate your reasonable suspicion ("RS") and probable cause ("PC") in your reports. Why? Because that's the main way to win cases and avoid suppression hearings altogether. Articulate, articulate, articulate!In my experience, most cops lose their cases because they failed to articulate their RS and PC. This is true even if the officer actually had RS or PC. In other words, when I speak to cops that lost a criminal case, or were successfully sued, they often had enough facts and circumstances to WIN their cases. But they lost because they either did not articulate it properly or were not able to translate what they saw or heard on-scene into RS or PC. You see what I mean? Articulation is key! This book will help you articulate things that are often hidden "in plain sight." The suspect is telegraphing his guilt, you just need to be able to articulate it. That's where this book comes in. Use this resource often and be prepared to proactively catch and help convict people who want nothing more than to victimize the most vulnerable. Until next time, stay safe.
