article text,
podcast MP3).
Derek Pacifico, after more than twenty years with the San Bernardino (CA) County Sheriff's Department, runs a company called
Crime Writers Consultations, which teaches seminars such as "The Writer's Homicide School." (They also offer personal beta chats: "Sign up for 1/2 hour or a full hour of one-on-one phone consultation on police procedures or any law enforcement questions you have that will benefit your script, novel or acting experience.")
Between them and Wikipedia and our friendly neighborhood public libraries, let's get things right! ;-)
