This book is an attempt to explain and demonstrate to the reader in the form of photographs, sketches, diagrams and "first hand knowledge" of what and who may be considered an "INSTANT-RESPONDER", as opposite, or different from a "First/Second, or Third Responder" in an emergency situation. It is also a much needed "MEMORIAL" to S/P/O "Killed in the line of Duty", when "others are absent". It is well known that the Security/Police Officer" sacrifices has never been "properly recognized" as other has been only because "Bureaucratic indifferences" and the lack of political will, and courage. The author further advocate that the Municipal Police Policy-maker, realize that the "Policeman" belong on the streets and side-walks of our American cities, and not hidden in a fort, or headquarters, waiting to be called to the "scene of a disturbance", or worst, a scene of a vicious and deadly crime". Once this is "again understood" then the citizens of American cities can began to feel "safe and secure". We can not allow the "criminal elements of our society" to "control who walks and have access to our streets and side-walks". The only reasons that they have "taken-over", is because they are no police officers out there to challenge them. Our government, administrator, should "re-engage" our returning home military veterans as Security/Police Officer by making jobs available to those who wants a decent job and decent salary. This is just the beginning of what needs to be done, and this is "what this book is all about". We hope the readers will agree and help us make this policy and possibility. Robert L. Elliott, IV S/P/O Retired
