Book Description

0942728998 978-0942728996 January 1, 2000 1
Excellent for advanced officer training, colleges, and academies. This text is an easy-to-understand, step-by-step workbook format. This approach provides immediate feedback to the reader, while helping to produce better public safety reports. Includes examples of both good and poor police reports, along with dozens of grammar and punctuation exercises for developing good report writing skills. It also addresses the broad range of problems identified as the greatest causes of confusing reports. Using police-oriented language and scenarios, students quickly learn how to correctly structure reports. An excellent companion for THE NEW POLICE REPORT MANUAL by Ruthledge.

5.0 out of 5 stars The forgotten aspects of report writing., August 21, 2006
This review is from: Report Writing Essentials (Paperback)
This book was great for the other aspects of public safety report writing. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation are just as important as content. The exercises are good practice and there is a section devoted to commonly misspelled words. Those same words are used in the police academy.

2.0 out of 5 stars Just goes over grammar and syntax, September 23, 2007
By 
This review is from: Report Writing Essentials (Paperback)
The book just goes over syntax and grammar; it does not give any examples of report writing structure nor provide examples of different reporting formats. In addition, there is no conceptual development because it uses very little report writing terminology.
