June 26, 2007 (San Dimas, CA)
Police-Writers.com is a website that lists state and local police officers who

Law enforcement officers
Larry L. Layman,
Evan Marshall and
Edwin Sanow were added to the website.
Larry L. Layman is a 30 year veteran of the
Peoria Police Department (Illinois). He is the
author of seven westerns. According to
Larry Layman, he was born a century too late
and instead of forking his blaze sorrel and heading down the trail, he has
spent three decades riding the inner city streets of Peoria. His books include:
Jessie Buxton, Jose Baca, Paxton McAllister, Tyler James, Buck Moline, Tom
Livengood and Lema.
According to the description of
Larry Laymans latest book, Jose Baca,
they came as a four headed demon from hell itself. All were brandishing some
type of club or blade. No time did I have to take notice. My staff I ripped left
to right across in front of me, the tip found the face of the closest savage.
Damage was done as the man's hands went for his eyes.
Evan Marshall is a
Special Weapons and Tactics trainer for a
federal agency with counterterrorist responsibilities. He retired from the
Detroit Police Department after 20 years of
service. His assignments included
Tactical Unit, Crime Scene Investigation,
Homicide and the Special Response Team. He has trained groups as diverse as the
Federal Air Marshals and the U.S. Army Special Reaction Team. His articles on
ammunition, ballistics and tactics have appeared in the
law enforcement and firearms press over the
past 25 years.
Evan Marshall co-authored a series of three
books with Ed Sanow: Stopping Power: A Practical Analysis of the Latest
Handgun Ammunition; Handgun Stopping Power: The Definitive Study; and,
Street Stoppers: The Latest Handgun Stopping Power Street Results.
According to the book description
of Stopping Power: A Practical Analysis of the Latest Handgun Ammunition
(third in the series, published March 2001), Evan
Marshall and
Ed Sanow rocked the firearms world with the
release of Handgun Stopping Power and Street Stoppers. Both books predicted the
effectiveness of all types of ammunition by studying the results of real-life
shootings rather than relying on laboratory tests that ignored the dynamics of
an actual gunfight. This third book in the series provides the very latest
street results of all the major handgun calibers, from .22 LR to .45 ACP, as
well as popular rifle and shotgun loads. It also contains chapters on
short-barrel ballistics, the emergence of the hot new .357 SIG caliber, the
continued success of the .40 S&W, the development of the latest exotic ammo, the
effectiveness of black powder firearms and a brand-new ammo test protocol based
on the results of the many gunfights of U.S. Border Patrol officers.

power. In October 2000, he became the editor of Law and Order magazine. He
co-authored three books with
