In Force Under Pressure, Dr. Lawrence Blum, who has devoted his life's work to the survival and wellness of "those who serve," describes the sources of danger, injuries, and victory to police officers in a down-to-earth, readable style. Blum argues that there are missing "ingredients" in the training and socialization of police officers. These ingredients include techniques and tools to condition the officer's decision-making and concentration during conditions of emergency; internal controls necessary to maintain the will to survive; and aids that will prevent officers being defeated by any threat. Distressing and/or disturbing physical and psychological reactions are common in a police officer's workday, and the officer must be prepared for them. Blum's work has uncovered many of the casues of compromise to officer safety and wellness, and he contends that police officers will be well prepared to cope with unanticipated or rapidly changing encounters if they possess the right tools and the know-how to command and control field encounters and life's pressures. Here Blum provides practical tools for survival in law enforcement, by combining his clinical knowledge with true stories of police officers for an attention-grabbing and informative book.

Genre: True Crime
ISBN: 1429900954

From the creator of HBO's The Wire, the classic book about homicide investigation that became the basis for the hit television show The scene is Baltimore. Twice every three days another citizen is shot, stabbed, or bludgeoned to death. At the center of this hurricane of crime is the city's homicide unit, a small brotherhood of hard men who fight for whatever justice is possible in a deadly world. David Simon was the first reporter ever to gain unlimited access to a homicide unit, and this electrifying book tells the true story of a year on the violent streets of an American city. The narrative follows Donald Worden, a veteran investigator; Harry Edgerton, a black detective in a mostly white unit; and Tom Pellegrini, an earnest rookie who takes on the year's most difficult case, the brutal rape and murder of an eleven-year-old girl. Originally published fifteen years ago, Homicide became the basis for the acclaimed television show of the same name. This new edition—which includes a new introduction, an afterword, and photographs—revives this classic, riveting tale about the men who work on the dark side of the American experience.

Genre: Political Science
ISBN: 1784782904

The massive uprising following the police killing of George Floyd in the summer of 2020--by some estimates the largest protests in US history--thrust the argument to defund the police to the forefront of international politics. It also made The End of Policing a bestseller and Alex Vitale, its author, a leading figure in the urgent public discussion over police and racial justice. As the writer Rachel Kushner put it in an article called "Things I Can't Live Without", this book explains that "unfortunately, no increased diversity on police forces, nor body cameras, nor better training, has made any seeming difference" in reducing police killings and abuse. "We need to restructure our society and put resources into communities themselves, an argument Alex Vitale makes very persuasively." The problem, Vitale demonstrates, is policing itself-the dramatic expansion of the police role over the last forty years. Drawing on first-hand research from across the globe, The End of Policing describes how the implementation of alternatives to policing, like drug legalization, regulation, and harm reduction instead of the policing of drugs, has led to reductions in crime, spending, and injustice. This edition includes a new introduction that takes stock of the renewed movement to challenge police impunity and shows how we move forward, evaluating protest, policy, and the political situation.

Officer Survival for Code Enforcement Officers by Scott Kirshner is a comprehensive doctrine on survival skills for those tasked with prevention, detection, investigation, and enforcement of violations of laws and ordinances pertaining to public health and safety. Code Enforcement Officers go by variety of titles such as Code Compliance Officer, City Inspector, Neighborhood Preservation Inspector, and other variations. A Code Enforcement Officer may be a sworn peace officer or a non-sworn inspector. Therefore, there is a wide variation between authority, training, and safety equipment issued to officers. Yet, job titles and authority do not protect you against violence. Code Enforcement Officers have been killed and seriously injured in the line of duty. It is critical that officers and inspectors train survival skills in a manner that is realistic, dynamic, and under stressful conditions. If you are not training for the "worst-case scenario" against a "dedicated threat" then your training will not prepare you for the realities of a dynamic and violent encounter. Officer Survival for Code Enforcement Officers covers: - Self-Assessment - Combat Mindset - Survival Fundamentals - Use of Force - Officer Safety Practices - Self-Aid and Buddy-Aid. Officer Survival for Code Enforcement Officers contains multiple valuable exercises to increase your officer survival skills. Whether you are a new officer or seasoned veteran this book will provide you with specific information you can immediately implement to be safer.
