August 10, 2007 (San Dimas, CA)
Police-Writers.com is a website that lists nearly 700 state and local police
officers who have written books. The website added Captain
Robert L. Snows latest book on
law enforcement technology.
Captain
Robert L. Snow is a 30 year veteran of the
Indianapolis Police Department. He has
served throughout the ranks as a police officer, sergeant, lieutenant, and
captain. As a police executive, he has been the Indianapolis Police
Departments Commander of Planning and Research, the Chiefs Administrative
Assistant, Executive Officer and Captain of Detectives. His current assignment
is as the Commander of the Homicide.
Robert Snow graduated from Indiana
University summa cum laude with degrees in
Criminal Justice and Psychology. He has
been a publishing writer for well over 20 years, with dozens of articles and
short stories in such national magazines as Playboy, Readers Digest, LAW &
ORDER, Action Digest, Police, and the National Enquirer.
Captain
Robert Snow has written ten books including
his newest, Technology and Law Enforcement: From Gumshoe to Gamma Rays.
According to the description of Technology and Law Enforcement: From
Gumshoe to Gamma Rays, Beginning with the Night Stalker case, the
Robert Snow illustrates how the use and
reliance on new technologies in solving crimes has made policing and detective
work more accurate and efficient in capturing and convicting criminals (and
courts more recently in releasing innocents convicted of crimes). Capitalizing
on the interest in all things forensic, this book illuminates the behind the
scenes technologies that go into solving crimes and keeping dangerous criminals
off the street. Robert Snow covers DNA and fingerprint technologies, vehicle
technologies, undercover work, bomb detection, and other methods. Using many
real life examples and first hand anecdotes, he shows how technology has become
part and parcel of
criminal justice efforts to solve crimes.
The forward to
Robert Snows book was written by
Lieutenant
Raymond E. Foster, LAPD (ret.), MPA, the
author of
Police Technology.
Police Technology is used in over 100
colleges and universities. According to one college professor, I recently
taught a
police technology course at a local
community college using
Raymond Foster's
Police Technology book as the base
reference for the course and then punctuated the book will information and
exercises from the accompanying website. Outstanding! The website is very
informative, current and relevant. Several of the practicing
law enforcement personnel including senior
supervisors and managers had their eyes opened to the technology available to
them now and the future potential for the technology to improve the service they
provide their communities, understand contemporary issues in law enforcement and
may compelling arguments to their respective governing counsels for funding and
technology initiatives. Great book - understood and applied by students at all
levels of experience.
Police-Writers.com now hosts 699

departments) and their 1502

also listings of United States federal
