The Counter-Terrorism Handbook : Tactics, Procedures and Techniques

The Counter-Terrorism Handbook guides law enforcement as well as industrial and private security personnel through terrorism situations or potential threats such as bomb threats, hostage situations, kidnapping, and negotiations.

The authors group the material by chronological sequence: pre-incident- the background, planning, and preparation in anticipation of such episodes; incident-terrorist situations such as kidnapping, bombing, and hostage taking as they unfold; and post-incident-the handling of terrorist incidents once they have been completed, including the ranking officers' roles in supervising police response.
