In Davis v. United States, the Court reaffirmed its holding in Edwards v. Arizona, that is, that law enforcement officers must immediately cease questioning a suspect who has clearly asserted his right to have counsel present during custodial interrogation. In "Davis" the Court ruled that any request for counsel by a suspect in the course of police questioning must be sufficiently clear that a reasonable police officer in the circumstances would understand the statement to be a request for an attorney. Until such a clear request for counsel is made, police may legally continue the questioning. In the latter section of this booklet guidelines are provided for the first officer who responds to a call that involves a barricaded suspect. A posttest on procedures that govern Miranda warnings is provided.
