Meet the TacBook

It’s not just a list of codes…

In our line of work, having timely and accurate information is critical. It seems every cop has a ticket book stuffed with cheat sheets or that classic copy of selected vehicle codes taped to the posse box. Before TacBook, I have yet to see a comprehensive field guide, combining the many topics we so commonly address. As police officers, we regularly investigate domestic violence, traffic collisions, burglaries, sex crimes and DUIs, for examples. It really helps to refer to this booklet on scene – it reminds you of codes and refreshes you on certain procedures. For traffic stops, you have hundreds of common Vehicle Codes at the ready. Recalling the radio codes was a daily challenge at the academy. In a land where Spanish is increasingly common, the TacBook is there with the necessary words and phrases. When it is an emergency call, having 1st Aid/CPR, Hot Crime Broadcast and Pursuit protocols within arm’s reach is crucial. When in court, you can be sure I conducted my Standardized Field Sobriety Testing, Miranda Warning, and Curbstone Line-Up admonishments properly, because you read the NHTSA material word-for-word from your TacBook. Stay knowledgeable on the landmark cases by perusing through relevant Case Law, and revisitt the US Constitution page to protect civil rights. And, there are even some words of wisdom and motivation. There is a lot more in the booklet like diagrams and drug laws, but it remains small enough to carry on duty so you can locate information quickly. Whether you work in Law Enforcement, Corrections, Parole, Probation, or Security, or student of criminal justice, throw the TacBook in your cargo pocket. It’s also weather-proof, writable and tear-resistant! Or, if you know a field it makes a great gift. It’s a dangerous world… Be Patrol Ready!
