Description: "This book looks at experiences encountered in professional public safety and military careers that are not necessarily portrayed realistically in training. In each chapter, a contributor from police, private security, the military, or a federal or national security agency details an experience for which training did not fully prepare them, such as a suicide bombing incident. The text addresses such topics as first responders treating traumatic injuries, PTSD, coping with death, martial arts specialists, intelligence gathering, alcohol and drug abuse, excited delirium, and the use of police K-9s.
