Description: Hi! You're looking at an outstanding condition book which is RARE, hard to find and OUT OF PRINT and a classic guide to safety on the job for Police Officers written by PIERCE R. BROOKS--the book is a First Edition and Eighth Printing and a HARDCOVER with the ORIGINAL DUSTJACKET and is NOT a remainder copy and NOT price-clipped, with the original $8.95 price in the lower corner of the front inner flap. This book is in outstanding condition and the book itself has slight dustwear and a couple of slight dings on the upper page edge, a slight ding on the upper right tip of a couple of the book's first pages, light wear on the upper and lower edges of the covers, slight dings on the spine tips and just slight shelfwear and slight evidence of gentle browsing but no other significant flaws; the dustjacket has a very small torn out spot on the upper left corner of the front cover and front spine edge, a small tear on the back center of the spine edge, a few very small tears and creases on the upper and lower edges, a few very light scuffs and just light shelfwear otherwise but no other significant flaws! The book is titled "...officer down, code three." and it was written by PIERCE R. BROOKS; it was published by Motorola Teleprograms, Inc. in April 1979 and is an unstated 1st Edition and 8th Printing copy.This is a book that tells police officers how to survive.Pierce Brooks was tired of going to police funerals. He was more tired of the fact that everyone was reluctant to talk about "why" these men died. "Too often," says Brooks, "there is a common practice of departmental secrecy designed to hide the true facts when a slain officer is found to have died through his own error. But always, there is a balm Gilead when I have a bee in my bonnet."While with the Homicide Division of the L.A.P.D., Brooks began compiling case histories of police killings. He found that in nearly every case the slain officer himself idiotically made one or more mistakes, failing to observe the precautionary procedures dictated by this training, departmental policies or common sense. Brooks calls these potentially fatal mistakes the "10 Deadly Errors." In this book, Brooks relates more than 20 actual cases of police killings. A brief analysis by the author follows many of the cases, but others present obvious police errors and let the reader draw his own conclusions. The hope is that officers who read this book will learn from the mistakes in the cases...and avoid them.A fantastic find, and a beautiful copy of this book!Thanks for looking, and good luck if you're bidding!
