Based on actual street encounters, Randy Hicks offers the reader effective communication methods. Using his 50 years of patrol time, undercover and investigation, academy instruction and university teaching, Hicks has devoted his professional life to learning everything he could about law enforcement's most demanded tool: communication at close range. Hicks provides reliable and proven communication methods to use in some of the most reoccurring scenarios in:

- Patrol
- Investigation
- Under Cover
- Survival Threats

These methods have been learned and shared from those who passed this way before, Brother Officers. Guidance from members of law enforcement who have offered their analysis, observations, and expensive lessons learned on the job is most valuable part of the conversation in Persuasion and Effective Communication.

Randy Hicks is a down to earth veteran Law Enforcement officer with years of experience in Patrol, Investigation and Undercover Operations. He earned his PhD in police education and training from the University of Southern Mississippi. For over 50 years he has dedicated his life to serving the public and then to serving fellow officers. The specialty which he pioneered in combining communication at close range with survival principles and tactics has benefitted innumerable officers.
