"Insider" patrol tactics you can start using right now to safely turn ordinary traffic stops into major felony arrests of drug couriers, gun traffickers and other violent criminals. Brings you step-by-step the rarely shared techniques of elite officers who are already producing spectacular results, while staying alive and legally unscathed. Once you learn the secrets of sensory pat-downs, deception detection, strategies for searches and single-officer self-defense, your vehicle stops will never again be the same.
This book deals with positive tactics officers can employ on the street to effectively use their own firearms to defeat those of assailants. It is devoted exclusively to understanding and mastering techniques that work for survival in real life situations. Unfortunately, most of the current literature on so-called 'combat shooting' explores what works against paper targets. Few street-wise experts or truly contemporary articles have emerged on street survival, although deadly assaults on the police continue to occur year after year. This book can help make you survival sensitive. The techniques it emphasizes are designed to affect the way you prepare, plan and react, to keep you alive in real situations. They are not hypotheses, but proven procedures, based on the insights of officers who have experienced gun battles and survived and on the lessons left behind by those who have died.

The book that could save a police officer’s life, career and the life of the citizens officers encounter on the job. The “Bible of Law Enforcement Training” is what the 1980 first edition of Street Survival was considered throughout the profession. Street Survival II: Tactics for Deadly Force Encounters, written by Lt. Jim Glennon, Lt. Dan Marcou with the original author Chuck Remsberg, has a new, sleek, modern look. While paying homage to the original, the update includes more than 200 colored photos and diagrams and delves into the profession's many changes over the past three decades. It includes tactics, effective street communication, detecting preattack indicators, public expectations, the issue of Guardian and Warrior roles, and especially preparing for the realities of force events.
