The basis for the development of this guidebook came about after a publisher had
discontinued a text I had been using for a number of years in my patrol operations course. The
text Police Officer’s Response Guide to Crimes/Incidents in Progress: by Nate Tanguay was
designed for field patrol officers to have a reference book they could use in the field to assist
then while on calls. Over the years I have had my students use this text and put in updated
response concepts for call for service, as well as, specific state laws, paperwork requirements and
other required duties for specific calls. With the discontinuation of the text, I made the
determination to create my own guidebook with the updated response concepts that are being
taught in law enforcement and reclassifying each call for service under the new National Incident
Based Reporting System (NIBRS) that the FBI will be implementing by 2021. With this project I
was able to participate in Minnesota State Open Educational Resource (OER) Faculty
Development to assist me in the development of this guidebook.
