Book Reviews of Defensive Tactics: Modern Arrest & Control Techniques for Today's Police Warrior
Book Review: An excellent reference source for police officers and defensive tactics instructors.
Summary: 5 Stars
Having had the pleasure of reviewing numerous books and videos of Loren Christensen, I found this book to be an excellent reference source and review of the many techniques I have been teaching officers for more than forty years. This book is comprehensive in scope and the photographs are clear and easy to follow. I do not think just reading this book alone without real hands-on training is the best way to learn the material. However, if you are a police officer who has had the basic police defensive tactics course, this book will provide a good review to reenforce the material learned in class. In conclusion, this is a book every police defensive tactics instructor and those who are also involved in teaching law enforcement should have as a resource text. Rating: 5 Stars. Joseph J. Truncale (Author: Monadnock Defensive Tactics (MDTS) System, Use of the Monadnock Straight Baton, PR-24 Police Baton Advanced Techniques, Martial Art Myths, Never Trust a Politician, Knife Handling and Knife Defense Course Manual).
