Timothy A. Perry is currently the undersheriff of the
Jefferson County Sheriff’s Office (Washington) and has more than 35 years of law enforcement experience.
He served twenty-five years with the Seattle Police Department; working in patrol, investigations and training.
After retiring from the Seattle Police Department, he was the Chief of Police for the Clyde Police Department (Washington).
Tim Perry has a BS in Police Science and the Administration of Justice; and, is the author of two law enforcement books:
Basic Patrol Procedures and The Practical Mock Scene Manual: A Complete Manual to Aid the Police Trainer
According to the book description of Basic
Patrol Procedures, it “has been revised and updated throughout! It includes sections on community oriented
policing, law enforcement ethics, vehicle pursuits and other timely subjects. Basic Patrol Procedures, 2/E is reader friendly,
yet packed with important information for the law enforcement student or police department recruit. It is perfect for a foundation
for the law enforcement student of as an effective guide for training recruits. It is widely used in community college police
training courses, it works well in criminal justice courses as a policing supplement, and it was written by an experienced
street officer for his fellow officers.”
One reader of Basic Patrol Procedures remarked,
“The author uses a wealth of field experience, practical guidelines, and hypothetical scenarios to supplement the instructional
material. There are also plenty of diagrams, pictures, and explanatory notes. This is a required text for my students and should be for all police agencies wishing to give insightful yet full
instruction to their students. I've seen larger books cover less material and do it with less effectiveness. This is a
great book in its price range, and for that matter in the range of more expensive books.”
