Whether you are a police officer dispatched to an 'Armed Robbery in Progress' call, a driver facing an armed and out-of-control road rage motorist, or a shopper accosted by someone with a pistol while walking to your parked car, a 'Man with a Gun' is one of the most dangerous scenarios anyone can face.This book lays out the facts for you, based on extensive research and analysis of thousands of actual events as compiled by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies.Patterns and commonalities emerge that paint a picture of survival-- or death-- based on your application of the information learned in this book.The author is a retired Police Major who spent many years as a street patrol officer, and later as Director of Training for a large city police department. Under his development and direction, thousands of police officers underwent an intensive and realistic Armed Confrontation Training (ACT) Program that helped them develop skills that allowed them survive situations in which other officers were killed in real life.Hopefully, you will never have to deal with an armed person. But if it happens, and you want to dramatically increase your chances of walking away alive, then you owe it to yourself and your family to read this book.
About the Author: The author is a published writer and owner of RAD Software & Consulting (www.radsoftware.org). He retired as a Police Major from a 500 employee-sized city police department after 30 years of service. During his law enforcement career, he was steadily promoted up the ranks as he worked alone as a deep undercover agent for two years, as a street patrol officer for a few years, as an Intelligence Unit Investigator for five years, as Director of Training for five years, as Director of Human Resources for two years, as Executive Officer of the Bureau of Administrative Services for two years, and finally as Major of the Bureau of Support Services until his retirement. He has been published several times in major national magazines during his career, and is currently working on his fourth book. He has a B.S. in Law Enforcement from Louisiana State University (Geaux Tigers!) and a M.A. in Public Administration from Columbus State University. He now lives on four heavily-wooded acres he calls 'arborHarbor' in a 'retirement home' that he designed and built. He divides his time between working inside and playing outside, and devotes what little time is left volunteering for community services projects, particularly those goals of helping animals in need.
