August 30, 2006 (San Dimas, CA) Police-Writers.com, a website dedicated to police officers turned authors, has added its 95th police author, Massad F. Ayoob. Massad is a Captain with the Grantham Police Department, New Hampshire. He has taught police tactics and civilian self-defense in a variety of venues since 1974. Massad Ayoob is presently Director of Lethal Force Institute (LFI), which trains 800 to 1,200 people each year in judicious use of deadly force, armed and unarmed combat, threat management for police, and advanced officer survival. Through the institute, Massad coordinates a dozen LFI staff instructors and assistant instructors in four countries.
In addition to being the founder of the Lethal Force Institute, Massad Ayoob, is an acknowledged expert on the use of deadly force in self-defense by civilians. He has long advocated for the armed citizen, however, his experience as a police officer illustrated to him how poorly the average citizen understood the laws concerning deadly force. In an attempt to correct the dangerous misconceptions on the subject, he wrote “In the Gravest Extreme.” The success of that book help establish LFI as a full-time training academy
The most famous LFI course is Judicious Use Of Deadly Force (LFI1). The course consists of 40 hours of immersion training that goes well beyond law school and the police academy in the critical decision-making area of use of deadly force. Topics of the course include prevention, intervention and aftermath management. Moreover, the course includes: when the citizen can and cannot use a gun in self defense; tactics for home defense; street gunfighting tactics; how to take a criminal suspect at gunpoint; selection of guns, ammo, and holsters; psychological preparation for violent encounters; and, justifying your actions in court. Finally, intensive combat shooting comprises 40% of the course.
Massad Ayoob appears selectively as a court accepted expert witness in the areas of dynamics of violent encounters weapons and weapons/self defense/police training, and survival and threat management tactics and principles. In addition to the sixteen books he has authored, he has also penned over 1,000 articles on firearms, combat techniques, self-defense, and legal issues; and, has served in an editorial capacity for Guns Magazine, American Handgunner, Gun Week and Combat Handguns.
Police-Writers.com now lists 95 police authors and their 289 books in six categories.
