Stay-alive information that is invaluable for every officer

After one year on the force, my Sergeant gave me his personal copy of this book to read during the slow times of my graveyard shift. After I started, I literally could not put it down. I ran my Stinger flashlight battery down a countless number of late nights, alone in my beat reading, absorbing, and processing the information within this book. As I read the book I learned about different ways to safely approach vehicles at night, and during the day. The techniques taught in this book add to academy-taught methods, and are intended for officers who have mastered the "basics" and wish to add a tactical edge. This book teaches extensively about narcotics detection techniques, as well. Looking back now I can only wonder how many dope loads I would have busted if I had been equipped with this information earlier in my career. There are illustrations on almost every page of this text, some diagrams, some photos, and many charts. Some of the info and pictures in this book is disturbing, but it made me think. After I completed reading this book, I took it to the department and made numerous photocopies of some charts and diagram inside of the book, and now carry them on-duty with me during every shift. An example: one way that I use to determine if a suspect is lying to me is to ask him his social security number. The first three numbers of a persons social security number ca be easily tracked to only one state within the USA. For example, if he says 526-__-____, I look at one chart within this book. The chart says that 526 is from Arizona, so if he says that he has never been to Arizona, and is from Wisconsin, he is probably lying. The information in this book will really help you on the road, like it has helped me. It already has probably kept numerous officers alive...
