Summary: Excellent book
Comment: I recently retired after 25 years in the U.S. Marshals Service. Although I was never a patrol officer per se, I am intimately familiar with police officer survival. Mr. Rayburn has written a very good book, with excellent practical information, on this overall topic.

Summary: Advanced Patrol Tactics
Comment: It's a great experience that I cannot find anywhere on the open market. The author is definitely a great law enforcement trainer. The only concern that I have is the security for my other brothers and sisters which chosen the warrior path.

Summary: Mediocre tactics, excellent point shooting
Comment: The book is written in a clear, easy-to-read style with many drawings and photographs to add to the clarity. Reading this book is a pleasure, so it is disappointing that the contents are not up to par.The book contains a variery of topics, some of which you can hardly call "advanced patrol tactics", like the chapter on contact & cover (which, in my opinion, is a very basic tactic). On the other hand, Rayburn seems a bit too enthusiastic about such topics as shooting through the windshield glass, which is a bit marginal in my opinion. Additionally, Rayburn uses about 1/3 of the book on point shooting. That's fine by me, and the section is excellent. Rayburn gives very good justification about using point shooting, and gives detailed information on how to practice it. The problem is, this book should be about tactics, not shooting...
