Police Dispatching Book

        published by Commonwealth Police Service, Inc.

        This document focuses on the legal precedents which mandate just what a police dispatcher (civilian or sworn) needs to know from the caller before dispatching a cruiser. How does the collective knowledge doctrine pertain to dispatchers? How should a dispatcher deal with an anonymous caller? What questions can a dispatcher ask the caller to help make the prospective seizure effected by the street officer reasonable?

        COST:—$32.50.
