Customer Reviews

Excellent primer for SWAT students.

This book is well written, and covers SWAT topics at a more realistic entry level vs. other texts I have seen having SWAT in their title. Would highly recomend to those wanting to have a section in their library titled SWAT tactics/Inddor Urban Combat in it.

New 2005 revised edition

RAIDS was first published in 1991 but has recently been totally revised and up-dated to better reflect changes in STTU tactics and terminology for Raid planning and operations. The January 2005 edition of RAIDs is outwardly the same (except the cover has "revised 2" under the title) but there are many changes to the text and operational checklists. RAIDS is essential reading for anyone involved in law enforcement raid or high risk warrant operations or training.

A training manual to set the standards.

This is a must have book for any tactical officer. Author Lonsdale presents a comprehensive look at the training and tactics involved in high risk warrant service. More than just a SERT manual however, this book should also be standard training for every police officer. I started my tactical training under Lonsdale and after 6 schools, I would have to say his was the best. I use the tactics I learned from Mark when performing ordinary police work. Regardless of your experience, I believe you'll find the book informative.Ted Weimann, author of Warrior Speed.

Raid training at its very best

Raids and CQB are used by us as training manuals and text books. It is the best all round book on the subject of high risk warrant service and the related training. The author has obviously had extensive experience in this aspect of tactical law enforcement. The diagrams and checklists are invaluable. Well done......looking forward to the next one.

The best on the subject

Undoubtedly the best book on high risk warrant service and swat type operations. Obviously written by proferssionals for professional. Love all the pictures and diagrams.
