NEW REFORMAT FOR KINDLE I have had the opportunity to review and read THE THIN BLUE LIFELINE and I cannot recommend this book highly enough. This moves policing communication so far beyond "Verbal Judo" and "Tac Com" that those systems cannot even compare (though, to be sure, there are some similar techniques that they utilise in those systems). It is relevant, well-written, operationally-based, and goes to the heart of the matter in dealing with people who are in crisis - not just for dealing with "mentally ill" folks - but virtually everyone with whom police officers come into contact....

Indiana, 338 U.S. 49 (1949)) While we all still have rights under the law, rights that are intended to protect the innocent, the average person does not understand those rights. While police must inform suspects of their legal rights once a person has been taken into custody; police are also trained to work around those legal protections and will do whatever they can to get suspects to waive ...
