Book excerpt: This book covers "Officer Survival Skills, Use of Force, Soft Empty Hand Control, Hard Empty Hand Control" issues for law enforcement officer. The most important priority of the officer is able to survive in dangerous situations. Survival techniques, if properly applied, provide the officer an opportunity to overcome the resistive behavior of subjects. These techniques also provide officers with self-confidence, which is needed to "win". The primary responsibility of the law enforcement officer is to protect life, and ensure public order. They are authorized to use a range of force options to preserve the peace, prevent crimes, maintain order, and apprehend suspects. Soft empty hand techniques are the first option of physical response used to restrain a person who is resisting. By developing a high degree of proficiency with soft empty hand techniques, the officer will be able to respond in a more effective manner, with a minimal amount of force. Hard Empty Hand Control techniques are defined as striking techniques. They are always defensive not offensive. These techniques are used to control active aggression, with empty hands and feet, when the intermediate use of weapons is justified, but are not tactically available. Topics and techniques presented in this book will be of both great interest and great value to trainers and students of law enforcement.
