by Chuck Joyner

Overview

This ground breaking book is the first law enforcement defensive tactics publication that realistically addresses the limited training that law enforcement officers currently receive. This 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.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

Chuck Joyner’s new book, Advanced Concepts in Defensive Tactics: A Survival Guide for Law Enforcement, is an eye-opener – for two reasons. First, his years of experience in use of force allow him to connect the dots between ethics, tactics, and techniques. They are not three things, they are one thing. As Chuck says: "The meaning of life is to protect and serve." He also tackles well-known, but difficult to address challenges regarding defensive tactics competence. It is extremely difficult to maintain physical skills proficiency with an average of only 4 or 5 hours a year of sustainment training. Chuck’s book offers a shortcut to direct and effective tactical movement and techniques for the street that get to the very heart of officer survival. Highly recommended!
