These officers describe how drastically the reality of time, space, distance, physical capabilities, sights and sounds are altered when you enter the mudroom. To give context to the tactics placed strategically throughout the book are stories of officers who have been in what we call “the mudroom” – which exists between life and death – and prevailed. Too many of our brothers and sisters die by their own hands and we strived to help prevent future deaths like this as well. The book addresses not only how to physically and legally survive your career, but also how to survive it emotionally and thrive as an LE officer. There are chapters on reading the body language of suspects to predict and prevent assaults and another on communicating effectively in an effort to become “black belts in dialogue.” Besides updated tactics in “Street Survival II,” you’ll find additional chapters on active shooter response and surviving an edged-weapon attack. Clearly with the challenges of policing in the current era some police tactics have changed since the first edition was released in 1980. Jim and I endeavored to seamlessly weave into that original tapestry new tactics and material.
I was also able to identify the still golden tactics and principles we should keep in the book.
What’s new about “Street Survival II”?Īs a life-long practitioner/trainer I was able to identify tactics that have gone the way of the revolver-wielding officer. That phone call took place 18 months ago and I am proud to announce that the fruits of our labor of love, “ Street Survival II, Tactics for Deadly Encounters,” is now available. At the same time, I have also committed myself to assisting my fellow officers to achieve these goals as well. My initial thought, having been overwhelmed by the request, was, “How can I do this?” My brain answered the question with, “How can I not?” I have dedicated my whole adult life to maintaining my professionalism and honor, while keeping my name off the wall. The retired officer and nationally respected trainer told me that while traveling around the country teaching Street Survival seminars for Calibre Press he was often asked, “When will the original “Street Survival, Tactics for Armed Encounters,” be updated?” He told me he had decided to do it and wanted me to assist him with the re-write. The sequel to “Street Survival”Ĭonsidering all that, imagine my shock and awe, when Jim Glennon of Calibre Press contacted me with a request. I thanked God and Charles Remsberg personally for that book because I can honestly tell you reading it literally saved my life on the street, which is one of the stories shared in the new book. 11 more must-read books for law enforcement
