I love this book! Not only does it teach you what to do in survival situations but it also highlight just how dangerous being an officer is. It shows what having the Superman Syndrome can do to you and how these things can happen to anyone.
This classic text from the Caliber Press is a must read by anyone who works in the street. Originally published in the 1970's many of the tactics in this text are still sound today. More importantly the mental preparation and survival mindset developed in this book are timeless. Gritty and true to life.
All the Street Survival books are wonderful and full of useful info.
If you ever have a chance to attend in person a Street Survival course it is well worth your time and energy.
this is a great book for a rookie cop or even the veteran cop. so much information in this book that can help any officer.
Great book, a must read for all L/E....
A trusty volume. Heck, mine was only $20+ back in the day. You can't lose with this basis volume.
Great book for New and Old Officers, the Street Survival Seminar is a must. And yes this book was only about $20 00 back in the day. Good book to review often.
TONS OF INSIGHT IN THIS BOOK!
The first in a series of three books that lays the foundation for survival on the street. Should be required reading in every academy across the nation.
While Street Survival is an older book, the information contained in it is timeless. Clothing styles and what’s in and hip may change, but as we well know a crook is a crook is a crook. These are basic procedures that will stand the test of time, because they are sound and true. I learned quite a bit from this book and pick it up again every five years to cover it again and glean more from its pages. I highly recommend this book to both old and new officers.
A must read for all cops i keep re-reading mine
excellent book for officers to have in their library.
the complete street survival series should be mandatory for FNG's and cadets
An absolute must for everyone working the streets, don't wait, get it now, it just might save your life. This was our "Bible" when teaching recruits at the Academy.
Good book a little outdated but it sure reminds you to be mindful of the basics.
I found Street Survival Tactics for Armed Encounters to be an extremely beneficial tool to add to my utility belt. I have often thought about the practical information and techniques this text offers. Originally given to me by a retired Montgomery Alabama police officer in 1994, I have referenced this book throughout my career in law enforcement. Despite your duties, this text offers you a plethora of well founded advice to keep you and your partner(s) safe. Regardless whether you are thinking about getting into law enforcement or are a well seasoned officer or agent Street Survival Tactics for Armed Encounters can prevent you from loosing your edge to every peace officer’s worst enemy – complacency.
This book is fantastic. Don't just borrow it, buy your own. Then go back through it every once in a while to keep your edge. Very valuable for reference and refresher.
solid read for the new LEO. also good refresher read for experienced officer.
This is a Bible of Law Enforcement knowledge. If you haven't read it, your lacking the edge everyone should have on the scum bags!
Wow, does this bring back memories. Consider it to be one of three "bibles" I kept from my CJ courses (mid 1980's).
Excellent book, wherever I go around the world, this book goes with me.
I love these books!!! They have taught me so much, and I am always referring back to them for training and memory purposes. I think every officer should have the 3 books published through Calibre Press.
EXCELLENT BOOK!
A must read.
This is where your training should start. Although the text and pics are dated, the information is not. It's still as relevant as ever.
Excellent book. I have it and keep it in the station for all of my officers to review!
Another good book that provided numerous tactics for survival.
One of the best books written for Survival on the Streets! Thank you Calibre Press !
This is a must-have book for every police officer and should be kept handy at all times.
Even for a 24 year veteran who trains other officers, I found some ideas within the covers of this book.
Another great TOOL for your TOOLBOX....
good training tool.
