4.0 out of 5 stars A very good, but uneven book, December 30, 2002

By	Seppo Vesala (Helsinki, - Finland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I first considered giving this book 5 stars, but then decided 4 would be more appropriate. The book is written in a clear and easy to read style, with some drawings and photographs. The first half of the book covers low/unknown risk stops, and the second half focuses on high risk stops.

The first half is exellent, and contains a lot of very useful information (several ways to overcome the problem of tinted windows, for example). The second half is not so good, and the book gets a bit repetitive towards the end. However, the tactics in this book are realistic and simple enough to remember even in a high stress situation. And there is a lot more information you would expect to find in a book of a little over 100 pages.

4.0 out of 5 stars Advanced Vehicle Stop!, February 8, 2006

By	Mike "xfjs" (Sweden/Thailand) - See all my reviews

This is a good book. It clearly tells you how to do a safe vehicle stop and the different approaches/sides you can do it and also how to do it safly. You have some good tips. It covers approaching an SUV, car, Trucks and Busses. The tactics are good. The book also cover high risk stops which cover Verbal commands, Moving occupants from Vehicle, Clearing the vehicle (not SWAT style), Clearing the trunk. Like someone elses was saying it get littlebit repetely against the end but a clearly 4 star it is.
