The Investigation presents a new way of viewing criminal investigations. This book is not just a “how-to” document. The author helps you to understand why a person committed a crime, how they did it, what planning they employed, what emotions drove them to the crime, and how the aftermath of their actions affected everyone involved. That knowledge is what differentiates being a great investigator from a person who investigates.

The primary focus of this book is the handgun, although much of what is presented can also be applied to shoulder weapons. The information presented herein will prove valuable in keeping you, or the people you are charged with training, safe. If there is some shred of information here that keeps one of the good guys or gals safe in time of need, I feel I have accomplished my goal.

Training might be best described as teaching a skill or type of behavior. In police firearms training, our focus needs to be on preparing men and women how to prevail in a deadly force encounter. Don’t lose track of what our real mission is and keep your eye on the ball. – Mike Boyle
