SIGNIFICANT TACTICAL POLICE CASES
Author: Tomas C. Mijares
Publisher: Charles C Thomas Publisher
ISBN: 0398081271
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 277
Book Description
While skill development is important in the world of law enforcement, today there appears to be a disturbing lack and understanding of history, how it impacts the present, and how it ultimately affects the future. Accordingly, the primary purpose of this book is to provide the professional SWAT officer with the appropriate historical references in order to improve the individual and overall performance of this very specialized aspect of law enforcement. The text offers analysis of significant case histories, much in the same manner as the approach to learning used by the Harvard Business School and the United States Army War College. Tactics, equipment, organizational preparedness, and operational execution are examined to identify what was successful and can be maintained or improved for future use or what was ineffective and should be avoided. In reviewing the significant case histories, a variety of methods was used for data collection, including original police and court records, interviews with participants in these events, and even direct observation. By examining these cases, the reader becomes better equipped and more able to understand how the standards were developed in the police tactical world and why they are so important to operational success. In addition to SWAT specialists, this book is also written for police officers of all levels, particularly those who are charged with the responsibilities of supervising personnel, allocating scarce resources, and making policy. Without a proper historical reference, performance of these skills often becomes an exercise in futility and even counterproductive. The text will also be beneficial to college and university students of criminal justice and to those whose vocations take them close to the criminal justice world such as politicians, journalists, social workers, and other caregivers.

The Bridge
Author: Johnnie Calloway
Publisher: Balboa Press
ISBN: 1982225386
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 127
Book Description
John Marshall has been through hell—and made it out alive. Following a troublesome childhood, he battled addiction as an adult but has now been a three-year member of Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous. He’s married and looking to give back as a way of thanking all the people who saved him as a troubled youth. He gets a job at Children’s Haven, an adolescent drug rehab center in Florida. He was hired for a very special reason. The higher-ups don’t want him for his flexible schedule but because of his personal experiences. Since many staff members don’t seem to care for the teens, John is the one who understands what they’re going through and can reach out on a personal level. There is nothing simple about recovery though. John has faced his demons, but he must now help others overcome their own problems. The patients struggle, as does the staff, through moments of pain and tragedy together. The Bridge is poignant, honest, and semiautobiographical as author Johnnie Calloway shares the fictionalized version of working through addiction in his own life.
