An excellent book. Put this on your required reading, right behind Lt. Col Dave Grossmans book, On Combat.

Good general book to read. I had my wife read the chapter about strangers approaching and their motives. I really enjoyed this book and thought it was a good training tool.

decent book, but not directly related to law enforcement. may persuade some LEO's to make fatal mistake of not seeing a potentally dangerous subject as being so. TAKE NOONE FOR GRANTED!!

I have used what I learned in this book several times in the field. Gavin is one of those people that immediately leave you thinking "This guy actually knows what he's talking about!" (poi - I couldn't care less what Oprah thinks)
