DUI Law Enforcement Strategies is an authoritative, insider's perspective on the procedures utilized by law enforcement officers for correctly identifying a potential DUI offense and making an arrest. Featuring law enforcement officials from across the country, these experts guide the reader through the key steps in the process of determining whether or not someone is driving while under the influence from the initial traffic stop to testifying in court. Discussing the role and responsibilities of the arresting officer in a DUI case, the authors explain how results from faceto- face observations, roadside field sobriety tests, and scientific blood-alcohol screenings are interpreted and what measures are taken to eliminate error. From the types of DUI training available to law enforcement officers and the most effective ways of documenting evidence to the preparation necessary to appear as a court witness, these officers break down the common misconceptions regarding law enforcement involvement with DUI violations and provide insight on how these cases are handled in court. DUI Law Enforcement Strategies is an eye-opening resource for prosecutors and defense attorneys alike on understanding how law enforcement actions and documentation can impact a case. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great law enforcement minds of today, as these experienced officers offer up their thoughts around the keys to navigating this increasingly-regulated legal issue.

Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts.
