Being a police officer is an incredibly important service to society. Every day, police men and women put their own lives at risk in order to keep the citizens of this nation safe. Law enforcement is one of the three major components of the criminal justice system in the United States, the other two being the courts and the correction facilities. As the common name of the profession suggests, the job is to ensure effective enforcement of the law and to strive to maintain balance and security in the country. Depending on the post to which a police officer is assigned, his or her job would range from protecting local citizens from public disturbances to investigating and finding solutions to national security threats. The government makes it a point to employ only those who are best-suited for the job and are able to maintain the integrity of the profession. This is why the process of becoming a police officer is subject to a stringent application and selection process. Every requirement asked of you when you apply to become a police officer is intended to prove that you are competent and that you possess the right credentials and attitude towards law enforcement. Don't be daunted by the thought of the application process though. This book is designed to prepare you for the process of becoming a police officer and starting your career in law enforcement.
Most people assume that being a cop is like what they see on TV. They think it's a high drama fast-paced career with car chases and gunfights. The reality isn't quite so intense. Law enforcement is a dangerous profession, but the majority of police work is pretty dull. Police work is mostly a compilation of speaking with people who don't want to speak with you or who are distraught over why they need to speak to you in the first place. There are gunfights, SWAT calls, car chases, robberies in progress, and several other calls that raise the blood pressure. But by-in-large, the majority of police work is responding to late reports and recording what happened in an objective, chronological, and accurate way. Just like with the work, people often have a misconception about the types of people who become cops. They think that only people with extreme personalities can be police officers when really the exact opposite is true. Most cops are normal blue-collar workers who share a common set of core principles. They're all honest, hard-working, brave, and logical people who have good intentions, but who sometimes enter into a law enforcement career without understanding what law enforcement is all about.I wrote this book because I've seen too many people get into police work without understanding what it is. They start their careers with noble intentions only to be torn down and destroyed from the stress of the job or their own failed ambitions. Police work isn't necessarily difficult, but it carries a large amount of responsibility. The weight of that responsibility is too much for some people, and it's misunderstood by others. This book is a complete guide to understanding what the job is as a police officer. It will tell you what it means to be a cop as well as how to be successful at modern policing. It breaks down your responsibilities in ways that remove any confusion and it'll prepare you for what you should do in any given situation. I wrote this book using basic, direct language so it's impossible to misinterpret; It's a book written by a cop for cops. This book is specifically aimed at educating new cops, or anyone who's considering a career in law enforcement. But, with that being said, it's also extremely beneficial for veteran police officers as a means of strengthening their skills and helping them transition from being an average cop, into being a consummate professional. The skills and insights I share throughout this book are pieces of information that can create a foundation for new officers or sharpen pre-existing but as-of-yet unrealized potential in veterans. The subjects covered in this book were specifically chosen for inclusion because they're the most germane to success in law enforcement. Examples of the topics covered in this book include officer safety, departmental perception, gaining voluntary compliance, criminal interdiction, interview and interrogation, and critical incidents. I've also added in a few chapters about how to get hired as a cop and how to promote once you've started working so you can increase your likelihood of rising to the position that you want within your department. I've learned throughout my career that police work is less about protecting and serving and more about doing your job reliably without making waves or opening your department up to liability. That's the kind of information I'll teach you throughout this book. It's the kind your agency won't come out and say, but it's the most important information you could know to be successful in law enforcement. Reading this book will give you a safeguard against poor training. It'll keep you from becoming a departmental scapegoat if you're unlucky enough to have substandard training officers. To be a cop is to be the vanguard of your community. Thank you for considering a career in law enforcement. I look forward to the honor of teaching you how to do the job.

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.
This book is for anyone who is interested in learning about terrorism in all its forms. For over four decades I have studied terrorism, trained to deal with it, dealt with it, and taught it as an academic discipline. Over these decades I have seen an already complicated topic become even more difficult to understand. The field of study has grown as the world has gotten smaller. Ask anyone what terrorism is and you will get a myriad of answers. Even in academia the topic has become more convoluted. As with crime, there are many theories espoused as to why one commits terrorism and why terrorism exists. It appears to me that many academics, researchers, policymakers, authors, and journalists in general view this topic with a tainted lens based on their own world view. Some act as apologists for terrorists while often doing so in a subtle manner. Some try to expand the definition and concept well beyond the scope that it should be found. I have students who do this all the time. We seem to be living in an emotion driven society instead of a fact driven one. A relatively new trend is to use the word extremist as a synonym for terrorist. There are several problems with this. First, this creates a net widening effect which lumps those who we disagree with in that net. Second, who gets to decide who or what is extreme? Third, and finally, it waters down and muddies the study of “terrorism”. This does not mean that an extremist might not become a terrorist. Having pointed out the minefield terrorism can be my goal is to offer an academically sound real-world fact-based explanation on terrorism. Terrorism can be a politically charged topic. I ask that as you read this book you check what is written, digest it, and make your own decisions on what you have read. It is highly likely some of your thinking will be challenged. When I began to teach homeland security which includes terrorism, I made a promise to myself that I would never be politically correct. Political correctness is what some terrorists rely on and is one of our worse habits. We will cover several overarching themes. We will look at what terrorism is and is not. We will explore the historical roots of terrorism. We will discuss the causes of terrorism as well as terrorist typologies. Next, we will examine domestic terrorism and international and ethnic terrorism. Then we will dive into religion and terrorism and spend time looking at Islamic terrorism and Jihad. We will examine asymmetric warfare including terrorists’ tactics and weapons of choice. We will discuss terrorist financing an explore counterterrorism.
This book is for anyone who is interested in becoming a leader/manager or who already is in such position. For those seeking such responsibilities or promotion, those just starting out in a leadership position, or those who want to learn new tips and to brush up, my hope is that you will find value in this book. Public service includesbut is not limited toemergency management, emergency medical services, military personnel, fire, first responders, corrections officers, law enforcement, dispatchers / 911 operators, probation and parole officers, transportation, social services, and the list goes on. These servants can be found at the local, state, and federal levels. The principles and concepts in this book are just as useful to those in the private sector who have similar duties as well as volunteer groups. We will go into detail about how to be the best leader you can be. As a caveat, the term leader will mainly be used throughout the book. As you will see, there are differences between leaders and managers, but one key point of this book is that one must strive to be both a leader and a manager.
