- catalog abstract "After analyzing police officer murders, the author presents specific measures in the areas of training, equipment, and legislation to reduce such casualties. The book examines incidents which led to the death of a police officer, discussing the activities being performed, the time and place of the killings, and the controversy over one versus two officer assignments. Characteristics of the victims and the suspects, as well as what happens to cop killers in the criminal justice system, are surveyed. The book outlines preventive strategies, beginning with training improvements such as simulations and instruction in attitude awareness, verbal communication, and reading body language. Additional recommendations focus on streamlining police procedures and upgrading operations manuals and improving communications, body protection, and special detection equipment. Ways to minimize dangers inherent in jailing and undercover roles are detailed. Other countermeasures involve legislation relating to firearms control, capital punishment, autopsies, license plate improvements, and reflective glass. The author also suggests increasing treatment programs for substance abuse and reducing television and movie violence.".
