This book covers "Officer Survival Skills, Use of Force, Soft Empty Hand Control, Hard Empty Hand Control" issues for law enforcement officer. The most important priority of the officer is able to survive in dangerous situations. Survival techniques, if properly applied, provide the officer an opportunity to overcome the resistive behavior of subjects. These techniques also provide officers with self-confidence, which is needed to "win". The primary responsibility of the law enforcement officer is to protect life, and ensure public order. They are authorized to use a range of force options to preserve the peace, prevent crimes, maintain order, and apprehend suspects. Soft empty hand techniques are the first option of physical response used to restrain a person who is resisting. By developing a high degree of proficiency with soft empty hand techniques, the officer will be able to respond in a more effective manner, with a minimal amount of force. Hard Empty Hand Control techniques are defined as striking techniques. They are always defensive not offensive. These techniques are used to control active aggression, with empty hands and feet, when the intermediate use of weapons is justified, but are not tactically available. Topics and techniques presented in this book will be of both great interest and great value to trainers and students of law enforcement.

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.

Based on the tenet that survival is primarily the police officer's responsibility, this text discusses the five basic components of the officer survival system. The beginning chapter defines the survival attitude, describes how this attitude is related to officer survival, and discusses the survival attitude as a self-fulfilling prophecy in which a person's beliefs tend to subconsciously affect that person's behavior. Physical conditioning and its importance for self-defense is examined, and recommendations are made for a physical fitness program and for mandatory standards for officer fitness. Other chapters give an overview of the technological progress and recent advances in protective equipment for law enforcement officers and emphasize the need for ongoing, practical, job-related training, including problem simulation and training within smaller agencies. Survival tactics ranging from use of secondary weapons to proper search and traffic stop procedures are discussed. A final chapter describes some particular survival problems of plainclothes personnel and recommendations for improvement.
