Book excerpt: This book covers "Weapon Retention and Gun Disarming, Handcuffing, Conducting Suspect Searches, and Defensive Baton" subjects for law enforcement officer. In some close encounters, a suspect may try to grab the officer's sidearm. Loss of the officer's gun could mean the loss of his/her life. The officer or civilians may be killed or injured by offenders who take and use an officer's firearm. Officers must develop a defensive awareness that their weapon can be snatched. Handcuffs are temporary restraining devices designed to control the movements of a subject. However, they do not entirely immobilize a suspect. Its proper use and application is crucial for the safety of the officer, subject, and public. Body searching is a vague topic. It is a careful, systematic examination of the suspect at the scene of a crime, or immediately after apprehension. Failure to conduct a proper search could cost an officer's or civilians' life. Modern law enforcement tool, baton, has been developed to increase officers' ability to protect themselves, particularly in those cases not justifying the use of deadly force. A trained officer who is proficient in the use of the baton is better able to protect himself and is less likely to resort to the use of his firearm. Topics and techniques presented in this book will be of both great interest and great value to trainers and students of law enforcement.
