never heard of it... I just have a big ole book with all the criminal stuff and motor vehicle info that my office gave to me

Its a good book for the agencies that do not supply their officers with criminal law book, etc. Its worth the $45 I think its costs. You won't learn all the criminal codes from that book, but it does give you primes examples of the most used codes for arrests, etc.

Its a very good supplement to the West Law Title 14,32,40 etc. book. Judge Drew is a helluva judge and quite a character.

I have the book, have to agree, it wont teach you all of the codes, but pretty good book all the same. I went through one of his classes and the book was only $25.00 that way.

Yea went through his class last year. Judge Drew is a funny guy and smart as hell. Our Dept sprung for the book so I dont know how much it cost. The book is a great tool to have. keep it in my bag all the time. If you get a chance to go to one of his classes its worth it.

My dad is a recently retired LEO from St. Charles and JPSO... he HIGHLY recommended this to me, and as I flip through it I know why... Judge Drew makes it so easy...if something's unclear, there's a little message right beside it....

It'll be nice having a respected judge's opinion making day-to-day decisions. The one I have is from '99 I believe... when I become a full timer, I'll definitely buy a new one.

Y'all are probly aware of this, but there's also a Law Enforcement Handbook put out by the Lousiana District Attorney's Association... might help some more of the new guys out as far as legal boundaries go...

alot of the handbook is procedural type stuff, its a good resource.
