About this product

Protective Operations: A Handbook for Security and Law Enforcement is designed as a reference for law enforcement and security organizations tasked with protecting the welfare of an individual or groups of individuals. To be effective and professional, protective operations require the incorporation of a variety of skill sets. However, many departments and jurisdictions have only limited resources and training available. Filling this void, the book identifies issues particular to local law enforcement — and the private security teams that may be called in later — and offers suggestions and guidance for confronting high-threat scenarios as well as the more mundane protective details. Highlights: Details the essence of local law enforcement protective operations that are run, in large part, covertly Examines threat assessment from both hostile organizations and unknown adversaries Provides a solid understanding of operational security, situational awareness, and surveillance detection Includes examples from real-world attacks occurring over the past sixty years Reinforces the need for training in specific tactics and techniques Emphasizes training for confronting the adversary Focuse
