- 1st review
While an excellent follow-up to the officer survival classic "Street Survival", I found that this text is more technical at times. This makes it a little dryer and more difficult to read than its predecessor. Still an excellent manual and a must read for anyone who rides the thin blue line.

An excellent text book and a mandatory tool for police officers of all skill levels. This book should be within easy reach and reviewed frequently.

This book is a must . Every officer should have this in their collection of informational and instructional books. "Tactical" and the "Winning Mind" thinking are key to survival.

The second book in a series that lays a foundation, and then builds from there, the mindset of survival and never giving up. Highly recommended

I have all thre volumes fo the Street Survival Seriesoi my bookcase, all since they were first published. I advise all new Officers to read them, in fact I ahve a lending set that I amk availible to new Officers in my command, they often buy there own set when finished with mine. I consider these books the primer for Officer Survival.

A real must for the LEO. Get the whole series and use them. I have spent over twice the money on other books that were not as helpful. An excellent value.

Another must read book in the series. Again, makes you think on how to handle things so you can go home after the end of your shift.

This book is the quintessential "Bible" for new/newer patrol officers. Although at times it can be technical, we are living in a technical age/world, and the language of the book is easily understood, comprehended and applied to most patrol tactics/procedures. The discussions and mindset to "win the fight no matter what" are outlined in great detail with, although somewhat outdated, diagrams and examples with photos.
A must have for all new cops out of the Academy, and some great nighttable reading.- Flag as inappropriate

Great follow-up text to Street Survival: Tactics for Armed Encounters... This is a text that every LEO should read and re-read from time to time. Tactics are sound and it helps us to keep ourselves in a survival mind-set.
