The Blue Guide helps to develop written communication skills and demonstrates 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 book is based on a long-standing and highly successful workshop designed for current police officers. The text uses authentic writing samples–dozens of sentences, paragraphs, and full documents submitted by current police officers–to promote student motivation and learning.
