5.0 out of 5 stars You feel lucky, punk?, November 8, 2009

I am amazed that only two other people have reviewed this text. And to give it a bad review?! What are you thinking? My copy is the 23rd printing! What does that tell you about it? It is unfortunate for today's officers that this series is out of print. This is part of a three book series. The other two are Tactics for Criminal Patrol and The Tactical Edge. These texts were referenced as a source for some of the training at the Tennessee Law Enforcement Training Academy as of the winter of 2000. I'll grant you that the photos and stories are old, but no less important in the lessons they teach. This book was not meant to be a coffee table reader (graphic photos and text). It (and its two companion texts) were meant to keep cops alive. Well, so far I haven't died! This may not be the end all, be all of tactics manuals, but it is good. It survived in print for at least 19 years. The publisher went under sometime in the last decade. This is a classic in its field.

3.0 out of 5 stars Street Survival, September 25, 2008

By	The Stig "Stuart" (ACT, Australia) - See all my reviews

Useful text but needs a reasonable amount of technical knowledge for it to make sense. Well worth the read if that's you.
