Officer Down 2013: Lessons Learned from Line of Duty Deaths

The second book in the series about line of duty deaths due to firearms.

What can be learned from officers who are killed by firearms?  Do you know their stories?  Examine the lessons learned from thirty-nine line-of-duty deaths due to gunfire-related incidents in 2012.  The author has done the research to identify the commonalities of these 36 separate incidents.  Learn the trends in violent encounters between suspects and officers and the confluence of deadly circumstances and behaviors that have led to recent police officer casualties. 

Explore each section by officer characteristics, circumstances of the encounter, offender characteristics, weapons used and more. 320+ pages of detailed information about these incidents will equip you for training others.

Read their stories.  Understand the reasons.  Train to survive critical incidents.

Over 700 officers have attended Officer Down seminars in the past two years.  Officer Down 2013 is the second book in a series that examines the human factors involved in officer deaths from the perspective that mistakes were not necessarily made by fallen officers, but the lessons to be learned from the loss of police officers are many.  Going beyond the timeless concepts of “tombstone courage” and “don’t rush in,” readers can analyze actions taken by suspects and officers in depth to better prepare themselves to avoid, or at least survive a critical incident.
