“This book is one of the most comprehensive and to the point manuscripts that I have had the pleasure to review in my 38 years of law enforcement. Apprehending Fleeing Suspects is the how to, nuts and bolts of field enforcement tactics and is not only focused on suspect apprehension, but on officer safety. A must read for the professional police officer.”

Deputy Chief Mike Hillmann
Los Angeles Police Department

"Jack Schonely has a unique way of bringing information and visual aids together in a presentation which is both informative and interesting. If you want to catch more bad guys, this is a great place to start.

Every police officer should have the information in Jack Schonely’s class on suspect tactics. In one day at Jack’s class you can improve officer safety and increase arrest rates. I my opinion, that’s time well spent."

Eric Weidner, Corporal
Ontario Police Department

"Jack Schonely’s Suspect Tactics and Perimeter Containment Class is a must for every department. There had been no formal perimeter training at my department until Jack taught his class last year, and since then our perimeters are set up easier and quicker than ever before. I am a pilot for our department and I see and hear Jack’s training being used regularly by our deputies and have no doubt that this training has helped us catch more suspects than in the past."
