Summary: Could be a lot better!
Comment: I have read many books on the subject of Police Photography and/or Forensic Photography and this is the best book on the market. Having said that, "Police Photography" lacks clarity in describing techniques and much more.

As an instuctor of "Forensic Photography", not to be confused with "Crime Scene Documentation", the book either goes way over the head of most Police Officers who read the book, or they are left scratching their heads because certain questions remain un-answered.

In particular, the chapters covering Infrared & Ultraviolet photography require the non-physcist (99.9% of all Police Officers) to re-read those chapters mulitple times, after which they are still left bewildered by what they just read.

The equipment that is referenced throughout the book is either outdated or to expensive for most departments to afford.

While the book is the best on the market, buyer beware that it lacks a great amount of information on techniques and/or information is severly lacking.

Summary: Become a Great Police Photographer
Comment: This book has all the basics of photography. It is technical in nature, but has some great police pictures too. There is an excellent glossary of photographic terms in the back. Even though the book basically assumes you will be using a manual SLR, it covers use of old cameras right up through digital cameras. The techniques of good photography never change, even if the equipment does. This book concentrates on the type of pictures that police officers take, not taking picture of flowers,, animals, or people like most photography books.
