The majority of crimes occur during the hours of darkness, and fully two-thirds of all shooting incidents in which police officers on duty are killed take place during hours of diminished light. The goal of this unique book is to increase officers' awareness that training in low-light and no-light conditions is necessary in order for them to prevail in such situations, to help facilitate correct decision making under these conditions, and to help them understand the use of a myriad of illumination tools available for professional use today. Major topics include: (1) dim-light and no-light doctrine, including navigation techniques, threat location, threat acquisition, and threat identification; (2) flashlight doctrine, including many examples of engaging a threat using a flashlight; (3) low-light weapon sighting systems; (4) techniques used for signalling during dim-light and no-light conditions; and (5) illumination technologies supporting tactical and emergency operations, including infrared systems, thermal imagers, night vision systems, strobe lights, and lasers. Through the use of the techniques described throughout this unique and comprehensive book, the skill, professionalism, and ability of police officers to operate and survive in dim-light, no-light, and artificial light conditions will be enhanced

This is a complete guide on how to effectively implement digital photography in the field of law enforcement and government. The introductory chapter describes the features of the ideal digital photography/videography work station. It also contains discussions of forensic video analysis, the digital mug photo, networking, and the ideal lap-top computer for digital photography/videography. A chapter on legal ramifications explains the chain of custody rule for the admission of evidence at court; this also applies to digital photography. A chapter on "implementation for long-term compatibility" provides guidelines for system purchase, the staffing of a digital photographic work station, and management responsibility. This is followed by a chapter that compares the cost benefits of digital photography with traditional photography. It advises that although the cost to produce an individual image could be more with digital photography than with traditional photography, the courts, investigators, and business meetings are changing the way they view and present photographic images, such that digital photography is favored. The author advises the use of the best of both systems, while preparing for a totally digital photographic environment by setting up the necessary protocols for digital photography at the start of the conversion process. The next chapter discusses digital equipment suitable for photographic imaging use, with attention to platform, device interfaces, and RAM; digital cameras; flat bed linear scanners; 35 mm film scanners; storage devices; hard drives; compact disc; DVD; and other computer hardware and software. A chapter on video and surveillance addresses editing and editing software, as well as surveillance techniques. The concluding chapter provides a comparative analysis of photographic enhancement, alteration, and manipulation.
