SWAT Battle Tactics : How To Organize, Train, And Equip A SWAT Team For Law Enforcement Or Self-Defense

Rating:
Summary: Not worth reading
Review: The cover correctly states "it covers material not contained in other SWAT manuals" No book on the training of SWAT teams will use this material. I may serve as a good introduction to a real manual.

Summary: Not a bad book
Review: This book not being a very complete book, far from it, its a book that has some qualities like some signals you can use to comunicate with your allies and how to make scetches of buildings. Its not a bad book

Summary: Good Starting Point for Security Concious Individuals
Review: This is an outsanding introduction for the security concious individual with a hankering to learn hand signals, containment procedures and team morale boosting when engaged in armed insurgency type operations. For too long the security concious have suffered from a dearth of suitable training materials relying on outmoded advice from cry-baby drop-outs from the police, military and security industries. Cascio and McSweeny offer sage advice by asking questions such as, when "sceching" a building site for through-the-window rope drops, have you supplied your SWAT team with suitable clothing? It may seem obvious to the more cynical reviwers on these pages that this is basic information, but I found their advice on knee-padding to be frankly invaluable, as attempting to break a hostage situation or terrorist type situation in say, a t shirt and shorts, is simply not suitable. I could go on and recommend this fine book and its detailed contents but I urge anyone who wants to equip a SWAT team - and we're talking *guns* here people, not harsh language - this is the best place to start.
