Comments on Michael King’s Analyzing Criminal Behavior:

"A comprehensive overview into serial crime motivation and methodology. It is easy to understand and very beneficial. Highly recommended." -- Philip Carlo, Author: The Night Stalker, Stolen Flower, The Real Devil, East of Evil and Writer/Director of the Tony Award winning, Things That Should Be Said

"This fascinating book shows one how to investigate the criminal mind. A compelling and intriguing read for anyone.” -- Kate Botting, Documentary Producer Atlantic Productions, London, England

"This is a book for professional investigators, by professional investigators. Even a great book for psychologists, therapists and counselors." -- Dr. Fred Cowie, Ph.D., Former Liaison to Law Enforcement for Terrorism, Liaison to Indian Nations,

The Midwest Book review said of Michael Kings Who Killed King Tut?: Using Modern Forensics to Solve a 3300-Year-Old Mystery, “The collaboration of Michael R. King, Gregory Cooper, Don DeNevi, and Joan Fletcher, Who Killed King Tut?: Using Modern Forensics To Solve a 3300-Year-Old Mystery is a survey of a 3,000 year old mystery and how modern forensics could solve the crime. Two new law enforcement specialists in forensics and the psychological of criminal behavior here use modern crime-solving techniques to add a very different perspective and evidence overlooked by specialists in Egyptology and archaeology. The conclusion: Tut was most likely murdered; the evidence: in Who Killed King Tut?”

About the Ogden Police Department

According to the Chief of Police of The Ogden Police Department, it “is a department rich with history, tradition and service to our community of approximately 80,000 people. We are the county seat of a larger community known as Weber County, Utah, that numbers close to 200,000 people. The Ogden Police Department has been providing law enforcement services to this community since 1855.

Although we still provide basic services much the same way as we always have, the changes in the development of technology over the years has increased our departments capability to provide the most up to date and professional work by the most dedicated employees any organization would be proud to employ. Technology, like the computer you are using to view this message, has dramatically increased our ability to provide you, our customers, with the information you desire.

The Ogden Police Department is a Community Policing based department of 130 sworn police officers supported by a civilian work force of 80 non-sworn and volunteer professionals. The community of Ogden covers approximately 27 square.”

Michael R. King is a Product Planning Manager and Senior Investigative Analyst for Motorola, Inc., working on intuitive based investigative software applications as well as providing onsite consulting, support and training to law enforcement agencies worldwide in crime analysis, investigations and criminal behavior. He retired from full-time law enforcement in 2004 with 25 years of service.  At the time of his retirement, he was an Intelligence Supervisor for the Utah Criminal Intelligence Center and oversees intelligence gathering and dissemination for northern Utah.  Prior to working for DPS, Mike was the Director of the Utah criminal Tracking and Analysis Project and retired as a Lieutenant from the Utah Attorney General's Office.  He continues to serve as a Reserve Police Officer and provides analytical support and consultation to the Ogden City Police Department.

 

Mike began his career in 1979 with the Pleasant View Police Department and several months later with the Ogden City Police Department where he served in Patrol, Motors and the Tactical Squad/SWAT Team.   In 1987, he joined the Weber County Attorney's Office as an Investigator and Chief of Staff. While there, he served as the lead investigator in the Zion Society organization, (a group of 150 individuals practicing bizarre religious doctrine and sexually abusing children). As a result of that investigation, 12 defendants were charged with major felony crimes. All the defendants were convicted in what is now considered one of the largest, most successfully prosecuted cases of organized cultic abuse in U.S. history.  

 

In 1992, King joined the Utah Attorney General's Office, and was assigned to conduct a statewide study on Ritual Crime for the Utah State Legislature.  While there, he investigated hundreds of bizarre ritual or cult behavior crimes and worked with local, state and federal law enforcement in determining future protocols for the handling of ritualistic crimes.

 

He is the former Chief of Staff to Jan Graham who served as Utah Attorney General from 1993-2001.  He served in the Investigations Division and as the co-chair of the Strategic Planning Committee for Utah Law Enforcement.  He also served a 3 year assignment to the FBI's Violent Criminal Apprehension Program (ViCAP) National Advisory Board as the co-chair. 

 

He teaches Criminal Investigative Analysis for the Utah Peace Officers Standards and Training academy and as an adjunct professor in Criminal Justice at Weber State University and the Salt Lake Community College.  King is the recipient of the 2002 NAPO (National Association of Police Organizations) "Top Cop" award and the 1989 National Police Officer of the Year award and various other awards for his action related to cult investigations, organized criminal activity and community resourcing.

 

Mike has a Master of Criminal Justice degree and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Criminal Justice and Communications. 

According to the book description of Michael King’s Predators: Who They Are and How to Stop Them, “An inmate, incarcerated for the rape of seventy-five women, reveals in an interview that if his victims had simply put a pair of old construction boots at the front door, he would have passed by and never even considered them as potential targets. The grieving father of a murdered seventeen-year-old woman admits that he should have been more involved in his daughter's life and paid attention to the "friends" in her immediate circle.

Most of us only half-listen to the public service announcements about safety in the home. We lock our doors at night, but do little else to change habits that may make us the next victims of the dangerous individuals who are always on the watch for their next opportunity.

This book takes readers through the mindset of predatory criminals--their motives, various plans of attack, and way of thinking--and then teaches simple lifestyle techniques that will help reduce the risk of becoming victimized. Criminal behavior specialists Greg Cooper and Mike King provide expert analysis based on real-life cases, in addition to moving insights from victims and criminals themselves. The authors make the point that the people who commit these crimes aren't much different from the predators of the wild, preying on the weak and unsuspecting. What makes these individuals more dangerous than their instinctive wildlife counterparts, however, is that they consciously choose to inflict their will on the more vulnerable members of their own species. To protect our loved ones and ourselves requires that we truly educate ourselves about the predators who live in our society and then take appropriate action. This excellent, in-depth study will help readers lead safer lives.
