By 
I would first like to start out to say, that its about time a book on conducting criminal investigations finaly is easy to read. This book is awsome. I had no questions about how to do a drug investigation or any type for that matter, after reading this. I have 3 years as a narcotics officer, and I thought I new alot on how to do drug investigations. When I got done reading through this...I have a whole new bag of tricks!!! Easy read & must have to do drug work...and the case law is real world stuff that I have run accross...good stuff!
