What are the most important laws and regulations that criminal justice professionals need to be familiar with? Well, I think there's a wide variety of laws that law enforcement professionals need to be familiar with. First and foremost, you need to know the laws that pertain to how you can do your work. You need to know all the laws regarding search and seizures. You need to know the laws, what is required for filing for an arrest warrant. You need to know the laws as relates to Miranda warning and interviewing individuals. You need to know the laws regarding traffic stops and what you can and cannot do. All those govern what you can do as a law enforcement professional on what you're going to do every day in doing your work. And then compounded with that, you need to know your state and local laws. These may vary within your jurisdiction, what you're able to enforce, what you can't enforce, what are the policies and procedures if you want to do a search warrant or arrest warrant or do interviews. You may have internal policies and procedures that tie into those laws. So the biggest thing is you need to keep current and abreast on what's happening. Just because you went through the academy and you went through what the Miranda warning is and how to get a search warrant and search and seizure laws, things change. There could be court rulings that come out. So you need to keep abreast of those, keep reading, keep doing research because the last thing you want to do is do something that you thought you were legally justified to do and then you wind up in a trick bag and found out that you did something illegal. So you just want to make sure you're keeping abreast of all the rules and regulations that are within your area because you want to keep yourself safe and make sure you're doing it the way you're supposed to.
