Here's what Jeffery Deaver had to say about my book

"A masterpiece . . . Police Procedure and Investigation offers everything, I mean everything, an author--novelist or nonfiction--needs to know about law enforcement: from police headquarters and laboratories to crime scenes to courthouses to jails. And Author Lofland pulls off another coup--he's managed to give us this encyclopedia of information in a style that's crisp, concise and damn fun to read. "

--Jeffery Deaver, author of The Sleeping Doll and The Bone Collector

I'm also the director and host of the Writers' Police Academy, an exciting and action-packed event where writers receive hands-on training in police procedure, investigation, and forensics. Keynote speakers have included Lee Child, Jeffery Deaver, and Lisa Gardner.

    Hey Angie. It's good to see you here, too. This site is exactly what I needed - something else to keep me from my work.

    I used to live in Virginia, but have been away for many years. I'm in the Boston area now (via California, Seattle, and Ohio).

    Lee has his own reality show, where he is attempting to live in every state---plus Puerto Rico!

    I just felt the need to expand my horizons. It was weird to leave Virginia and learn that there are houses without wheels. And did you know that people actually date outside their families. Yeah, really!

    Anyone who starts a post with "I'd rather be shot than stabbed" and then writes something non-idiotic on the subject--Yeah, he's gonna be my friend. Hi, Lee. You're the man, baby.

    Hi, Lee!
    It's great to see you at Crimespace! I'm really bummed I can't go to Forensics U AND Bouchercon. This year, marketing has to come first. I hope SinC can put Forensics U on semi-annually.

    Woo-hoo! Only a couple of weeks until your book's here! Can't wait to get it. Take care, and hope to see you soon--
