Police and Security Applied Skills - Paperback

by Daniel Byram (Author)

This manual supports courses addressing officer safety, patrol procedures, or security
operations. The tactics and methods discussed in this manual are generic in nature and may
be further restricted by agency or company policy.

Always have an approved / certified instructor present if you wish to practice or try any of
the field techniques described in this book. The techniques can be dangerous and proper
supervision by an experienced instructor is critical to learning the techniques properly and
safely.

No matter what role you play in the field of criminal justice and security, you will want to
have a thorough understanding of these tactics and methods. For example, if you are a victim
assistance counselor, a half-way house manager, a case manager, or facilities manager, you
may have to use one of these techniques, or explain why law enforcement used the technique
to a client. Every individual can benefit by knowing how to safely handle a variety of
situation that may be potentially dangerous. Knowledge of the procedures and tactics could
help you avoid being in a potentially dangerous situation before it occurs. If you are working
in field operations as an officer, security agent, or consultant, you will find the modules to be
of benefit to you.
