The Officer's Top-10 Field Guide

A field guide to the fights cops actually get into, and how to control them.
 
Most defensive tactics programs teach a hundred techniques and hope a few stick. This guide starts from the data instead: the ten situations where officers most often end up in a use-of-force or assault event. For each one you get the few gross-motor techniques that solve it, and the principles that let you adapt when it doesn't go to script.
 
Inside:
- The ten scenarios, ranked by the data: pull-aways, sudden rushes, resistance at the cuffs, being taken down, fighting from your back, ground-to-cuffs, disturbance calls, escort and transport, foot pursuits, and traffic stops.
- 12 principles taught once and applied everywhere, each with its own illustrated diagram.
- 21 techniques, each in 3–5 clear steps with key points, common mistakes, safety notes and partner drills.
- "Cuffed, then on their side": post-restraint care and positional-asphyxia awareness in every scenario.
- Articulation sheet: turn what you did into a clear, Graham v. Connor-grounded report.
- 8-week practice plan for solo and partner work.
