The Pocket Partner by authors Dennis H. Evers, Mary E. Miller, Thomas J. Glover, and Trish M. Glover is an essential reference for all law enforcement and government agencies including military, fire, and EMS groups. This book is designed to aid personnel during almost any encounter—hazmat, chemicals, arrests, explosives, weapons, ballistics, first aid, communications, phone numbers, investigations, or interrogation. Emergency preparedness and response directives when confronting terrorism, emergency incidents, and homeland security are also topics the book addresses.

Pocket Partner was first published in 1998 and has grown in both size and popularity with each new edition. The book is only 4”x 6”, allowing it to fit comfortably in your hands, glove compartment, or briefcase. By popular request, the typeface size has been increased to improve readability for police officers, particularly in low-light conditions. The book is constructed with perfect binding and the red cover stock is high-quality, durable, and water resistant leatherette.
