Ken Schwab, 2024

On the day of an officer's tragic death, no voice or whisper predicts what is to come. No premonition of impending doom. Just a day like any other day. This book is designed to help officers recognize that day. Officers who are working alone in an isolated area have little room for error. Some may be thrust into a life-or-death situation, likely when they least expect it. Then they're alone, fighting for their lives. This book helps an officer get ready to take on that challenge. On the day of an officer's tragic death, no voice or whisper predicts what is to come. No premonition of impending doom. Just a day like any other day. This book is designed to help officers recognize that day. Officers who are working alone in an isolated area have little room for error. Some may be thrust into a life-or-death situation, likely when they least expect it. Then they're alone, fighting for their lives. This book helps an officer get ready to take on that challenge. Officers who have not experienced a tragedy may find it easier to discount proper survival tactics because it hasn't happened to anyone they know. But in departments where there have been deaths or injuries, officers have an edge to them because they can recall the circumstances of their colleagues' catastrophes. They can recite every detail of each untimely death or injury. When these officers encounter similar calls, they are painfully aware of what they need to do to stay alive. If an officer is killed in a rural community, that event will alter how law enforcement views future threats. It will be a wake-up call that no one wants. In this book, officers will find effective concepts and strategies to help them survive a potential attack. They'll learn how to manage aggressive behavior, prepare mentally, recognize body language/red flags, see ambushes coming, other threats. They'll also learn the common themes that precede an attack. And they'll learn to perceive danger by trusting their intuition and constantly evaluating whether they should get help on the way, discovering proven communication tactics to de-escalate and stall until that help arrives. Much of this book can also be useful for officers in metropolitan areas who may find themselves alone during unexpected trouble. Ken is a retired law enforcement veteran and author of Conquering the Ghosts: A Practical Guide for Those Challenged by Haunting Memories. He was a decorated state trooper/Field Training Officer, and was recognized as one of the top military police officers in the US Air Force. As a police chief, he's seen the negative ramifications that can arise from use of force encounters, and through this book, he aims to help officers not only survive physically, but also to keep their jobs.
