It is devoted exclusively to understanding and mastering techniques that work for survival in real life situations.

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.

Download or read book Advance Handgun Survival Tactics written by David H. Leflet and published by Paladin Press. This book was released on 2013-08-01 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Target shooting is about placing your shots in the center of a small target . . . [T]he penalty for not doing so is a poor score. Tactical shooting is about stopping someone from shooting you . . . [T]he penalty of not being able to do this is the loss of your own life." –J. Henry FitzGerald, Shooting, 1930 In Advanced Handgun Survival Tactics, authors Dave Leflet and Curtis Porter demonstrate why most of what is being taught today about tactical shooting is not just worthless but also dangerous. To combat this, they drew on their years of tactical shooting experience in law enforcement and the military, along with proven scientific and medical research, to create their own training program for developing and maintaining tactical readiness for law enforcement officers and civilians interested in combat shooting. Their tactical training system, which they call the Porter method, is a reality-based approach to handgun shooting. The tactical skills they teach are based on combat-shooting techniques that have been repeatedly field-tested and proven during actual combat by gunfighters, combat veterans, military instructors, and law enforcement officers. They are not based on police firearms training because most police training is badly flawed and unsafe for people who attempt to use it in the real world. One common mistake people make is believing that shooters who can punch holes in paper targets, have the skills they need to prevail in a real shoot-out where the targets are shooting back. They are dead wrong. There are no second-place winners in tactical shooting. You have people who survive and people who die. This book teaches shooting techniques that can help you survive. Though it is primarily about handgun shooting, the authors have included a bonus chapter on tactical shotgun shooting for special situations.

Download or read book Police Militarization written by Frederick W. Turner II and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-12-11 with total page 88 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Brief examines the “militarization” of law enforcement in the United States through the lens of the stakeholders primarily responsible for implementing, funding, and enacting the practice. Largely a result of policies such as the war on drugs, war on terror, and the 1033 program, there has been a gradual but dramatic rise in the use of military-grade weapons, equipment, and tactics used by police agencies across the United States. This Brief examines the level of support for various aspects of police militarization by lawmakers, police executives, and local police officers, and how their opinions may differ based upon their current position or demographic features using a series of analyses and propensity score matching techniques. This Brief also provides an overview of some of the key policy changes responsible for police militarization, and provides insights into the views held by policymakers and law enforcement on various aspects of the practice. The results indicate that while many responsible for this shift are in favor of paramilitary procurement programs, there are differing opinions on key issues such as oversight and use of military-grade weapons, equipment and paramilitary tactics. This work will be of interest to researchers in criminology and criminal justice, particularly those with an interest in policing studies, as well as related fields such as public policy, public administration, emergency management, and sociology.
