law enforcement
officials and one federal
law enforcement
official.
Randy Dickinson
was a full-time officer with the
Smith County Sheriff’s
Department (Texas) during the 1970s
and 1980s. It was while with the
Smith County Sheriff’s
Department that he became involved
in a fatal shooting wherein he and his partner
interrupted an armed robbery. This event
provided
Randy Dickinson
with some of the fundamental insight that led
him to teaching and writing about trauma
mitigation.
Throughout the
1990s,
Randy Dickinson
was employed by the
Austin Police Department
in a non-sworn role within the Crisis Response
Unit. The unit provides a broad range of
services including crisis intervention, suicide
intervention, post-incident support for
officers and other first-responders, and
services to victims and witnesses.

Shootings and Use of Force: Practical
Investigative Techniques.
According to the
book description of
Officer-Involved
Shootings and Use of Force: Practical
Investigative Techniques,
it “continues to provide sound and sober
models, protocols, and procedures to handle the
highly charged fall-out from officer involved
shootings. Written by cops for cops, it is
designed to address the needs of the agency,
the rights of the employee, and the concerns of
the public, and give law enforcement the
policies and tools to properly investigate and
document this high profile area.”
Neville Cramer
served more than twenty-six years as a
law enforcement
officer with the Immigration and Naturalization
Service (INS). At the time of his retirement in
2002, he was one of the most experienced INS
Special Agents in the U.S. Department of
Justice. He began his career in 1976, as a U.S.
Border Patrol Agent after serving four years as
a
police officer
in Arizona and Florida. After his tour of duty
on the Mexican border, Cramer served eight
years as both a Special Agent and Supervisory
Special Agent in Chicago, Illinois and
Washington D.C. District Offices.

Crisis.
According to the
book description of Fixing the INSanity –
America’s Immigration Crisis, “Former
Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS)
special agent
Neville Cramer
divulges the real causes of America's seemingly
uncontrollable immigration problems. He
explains the issues, describes common-sense
solutions, and shocks the reader with facts
about working in the lunacy of the former INS.
From the 9/11 attacks to President George W.
Bush's Guest Worker Program, Cramer covers it
all . . . and then some.”
Kevin Ferguson
is a retired Deputy Sheriff
Richmond City Sheriff’s
Office. He was injured on the job
assisting a co-worker. The injury left him
with two plates and twelve screws in his right
arm; and, six pins in his wrist.

According to the
book description, “This book is based on a true

name.”
