Winner - 2013 USA Best Books AwardFinalist - 2013 Book of the Year
Award by ForeWord Magazine In a free and peaceful society where so
many have been taught that all violence is wrong, citizens are
often confused and dismayed when officers use force, even when the
force is perfectly lawful and justified. This book allows you to
'take' a basic USE OF FORCE class just as if you were a rookie at
the police academy. Below are some highlights of what is included
in 'your' basic use of force class: SECTION 1. TRAINING. I explain
policy and laws that officers are taught. We examine use of force,
how to define a threat, and the difference between excessive force
and unnecessary force. SECTION 2. CHECKS AND BALANCES. This section
explains how an officer's decisions are examined if suspected of
being bad decisions. SECTION 3. EXPERIENCE. We explore how officers
see the world that they live in. Somewhere in the fog between
training and experience, the officer has to make a decision.
Sometimes decisions will be made in a fraction of a second and on
partial information. Sometimes a decision will change the lives of
everyone involvedforever. SECTION 4. ABOUT YOU. Review what you
should have learned. Why does community action fail? What is it
that can really be done? Know how to behave when faced by an
officer. Until this section, I have tried to put you in the
headspace of an officer, giving you an overview of his training and
a taste of his experiences. Now I will try to let you feel like a
suspect. That's a lot of mind bending for one book. Get plenty of
sleep and drink lots of water.
