David Smick is a global economic policy strategist and publisher based in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Sanford founded the Pacific Institute of Defensive Tactics (P.I.D.T.). Although he initially taught primarily the Koga Method by the early ‘90’s the P.I.D.T. Method had become recognized as a system within itself. Today he teaches the P.I.D.T. Method which includes integrated use of force training, arrest and control, self defense, tactical communications, altercation patterns, baton tactics (straight, expandable straight, side-handle and riot batons), officer safety, crimes-in-progress, car stops, ***, crowd control and civil disobedience, passive demonstrator tactics, emergency response team, defeat the grappler, defensive tactics for corrections and other related tactical training. He teaches these courses on a basic, in-service and instructor level through his institute, police academies, colleges and to local, State and federal law enforcement agencies. Most courses are taught through the Perishable Skills Program.
In a stunning departure from his usual territory, Andrew Vachss gives us a masterful novel, Two Trains Running, that is also an epic story of postwar America. Not since Dashiell Hammett's Red Harvest has there been as searing a portrait of corruption in a small town.
