Preferred term

police as eyewitnesses  

Definition(s)

  • Criminal cases often hinge on the testimony of eyewitnesses; sometimes those eyewitnesses are police officers. Police eyewitnesses perform the same tasks as civilian eyewitnesses: They provide descriptions to police officers during interviews, attempt to identify perpetrators from lineups, and provide testimony during court trials. [Source: Encyclopedia of Psychology and Law; Police as Eyewitnesses]
