Specialty Police Munitions By Jones T.L. (Book)

Veteran SWAT officer and police trainer Tony L. Jones looks at the latest lethal and ''less lethal'' police specialty munitions and tools being fielded, tested or researched by the major ammunition manufacturers. He examines specialty impact munitions (electrical stun devices, stun shields, Tasers, antiterrorist rounds) specialty lethal munitions (detonating tip, enhanced expanding, frangible rounds) chemical agent munitions (area devices, tactical aerosol devices, chemical agent launchers) distraction devices (diversionary munitions, rendering safe procedures, rules of engagement) and specialty training munitions (marking ammo, blank rounds, nontoxic ammo). Make sure your department has the right tools for the job and that officers are trained to use them properly. Tony L. Jones has more than 13 years experience in law enforcement and 23 in the military. He has a degree in criminal justice from Ohio University and has published four books and more than 60 articles on law enforcement related topics. Currently, he is a staff writer for The Police Shield newsletter. 1.
