Synopsis:

Why did police officers wait 77 minutes to stop an active shooter in Uvalde, TX, going against all police training over the past 20 years?

Why do police shoot unarmed, nonthreatening citizens, claiming to "be in fear for their life"?

Why do some officers make fantastic life saving "split second decisions in a rapidly changing environment", while so many others struggle to just speak appropriately to the public?

The answer to these and many other questions lie in the way we prepare, train, and support our police officers.

Drawing on 20 years of policing at the local level plus 17 years training SWAT, advanced tactics, and diversity to police across the uS and the world, Marc Neal illustrates how a self-preservation-above-all-else mindset has permeated policing. Police are violating what Marc calls "human-centered, principle-based decision making".

Instead of adhering to the Safety Priorities (described in the book), police are being taught a more militaristic mindset where their safety is most important. Too many are being taught to view anyone not in uniform as a "threat". But that is only half the story.

Marc also explains and demonstrates how his style of police training can help foster and grow the Guardian Mindset, instead of the "warrior" mentality.

this book is a primer for our law enforcement and civilian citizens to develop a new, comprhensive, People first public safety program.
