Page 5 - Texas police Association Peace Officer Guide 2017

PREFACE

This 2017 Peace Officer Guide is a continuation of a semi-annual
series published by the Texas Police Association for many years as a
service to its members. The Guide is a compendium of reports from

the Legal Digests of the Texas Police Association from July, 2015, to
October, 2017, and a brief presentation of significant legislative

developments. The editor has attempted to select those court decisions
which are of significance to the working law enforcement officer and,
within those selections, has attempted to identify and present the

information pertinent to the daily work of police officers in Texas.
This Guide is dedicated to the men and women of Texas law

enforcement and especially to those officers wounded or killed in the
line of duty and to their families.
