Advanced Concepts in Defensive Tactics

This ground-breaking book is the first law enforcement defensive tactics publication that realistically addresses the limited training that law enforcement officers currently receive. The book concentrates on avoiding the initial attack, moving to safety, deploying a secondary weapon, and surviving the attack. Concepts are based upon extensive research, a landmark study by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and street experience. The book stresses core concepts, proper body mechanics, and proven survival principles. Each chapter ends with drills to increase mental awareness, physical skills, and survivability tips.
