The Blue Guide helps to develop written communication skills and to demonstrate how effective writing is linked to leadership. These are valuable skills for veteran officers, future law enforcement practitioners and students who will ultimately pursue careers in other fields. The text uses authentic writing samples—dozens of sentences, paragraphs, and full documents submitted by current police officers— to promote student motivation and learning. The book is based upon a long-standing and highly successful workshop designed for current police officers. These officers have granted permission to use their actual police documents as writing samples, and so the Blue Guide is filled with dozens of sentences, paragraphs, and whole documents of actual police writing.
This text investigates the critical link between effective written communication and successful leadership within the law enforcement profession. Author Elizabeth Brockman draws upon her experience with professional workshops to provide a structured framework for improving report writing and administrative documentation. By utilizing a corpus of authentic documents submitted by active police officers, the book argues that clear, precise writing is an essential competency for both veteran practitioners and students entering the field.
What You Will Find
The subject matter points to a highly specialized, practical resource designed to bridge the gap between academic writing instruction and the specific demands of police work.
