    While an excellent follow-up to the officer survival classic "Street Survival", I found that this text is more technical at times. This makes it a little dryer and more difficult to read than its predecessor. Still an excellent manual and a must read for anyone who rides the thin blue line.

    An excellent text book and a mandatory tool for police officers of all skill levels. This book should be within easy reach and reviewed frequently.

    This book is a must . Every officer should have this in their collection of informational and instructional books. "Tactical" and the "Winning Mind" thinking are key to survival.

    The second book in a series that lays a foundation, and then builds from there, the mindset of survival and never giving up. Highly recommended

    I have all thre volumes fo the Street Survival Seriesoi my bookcase, all since they were first published. I advise all new Officers to read them, in fact I ahve a lending set that I amk availible to new Officers in my command, they often buy there own set when finished with mine. I consider these books the primer for Officer Survival.

    A real must for the LEO. Get the whole series and use them. I have spent over twice the money on other books that were not as helpful. An excellent value.
