I hope that you will find this website helpful with researching legal issues you may face as a police officer. The Law Library section includes various links to legal websites. You will be able to access state statutes, city and county ordinances, federal codes and legal search engines.

The Legal Opinion area catalogs all of the research memos you have received over the years. I will update the section regularly.

We also created a mobile version of this site for easy access on your smartphone.

Finally, please contact me with your legal issues. I will attempt to answer your questions as time permits.
