George Thompson,
Robert Davis and
Kent Perry.
Dr.
George J. Thompson is the President and Founder
of the Verbal Judo Institute, a
tactical training and management firm now based
in Auburn, NY. Doc Thompson, aka "Doc Rhino," has an eclectic background, having
taught English on the High School level English Literature on the university

Sandoval County Sheriffs Office (New Mexico).
Also a martial artist, he holds Black Belts in Judo & Taekwondo. Doc has created

Dr.
George Thompson has written four books on
Verbal Judo, each analyzing ways to defuse conflict and redirect behavior into
more positive channels. Dr.
George Thompson is the author of Verbal
Judo: The Gentle Art of Persuasion; Verbal Judo: Redirecting Behavior With
Words; and, Verbal Judo: Words as a Force Option. He is the co-author
of The Verbal Judo Way of
Leadership Empowering the Thin Blue Line.
According to the book description
of The Verbal Judo Way of
Leadership Empowering the Thin Blue Line
For many years Dr. Thompson has sought to present the Verbal Judo philosophy on
leadership in written form. Drawing from Dr.
Thompsons street and courtroom proven Verbal Judo philosophy and his
co-authors dual careers as an
Army Special Forces combat leader and civilian
peace officer The Verbal Judo Way of
Leadership Empowering the Thin Blue Line from
the Inside Up is MUST reading for the 21st Century
law enforcement officer, First Responder, and
military man or woman intent on achieving true
success as a leader in his or her chosen profession.
Robert L. Davis is a former police officer with
the
New Orleans Police Department. At the age of
22 he joined the
New Orleans Police Department and within his
first year he was arrested for police related corruption and facing 30 years in
prison. Rather than face the charges he fled, becoming a fugitive for over 20
years.
Robert Davis book, Cop Out, is
a true account of how a former police officer survived as a fugitive while
evading authorities and eventually surrendered to God. This narrative approach
of survival and skill encompasses a diversity of stories and experiences,
including life in wooded terrain and survival as a fugitive for over twenty
years. This account serves as a means for the readers to envision challenges as
a true survivor leading to surrender regardless of the outcome. Reflections are
provided to aid readers' understanding of this lengthy journey from periods of
atheism to acceptance of God.
Kent Perry retired after serving 28 years with
the
Portland Police Bureau. As a detective, he
investigated more than 100 homicides. His is the author of Quarter Moon
Rising. According to one reader/reviewer, Quarter Moon Rising
is a quick-paced, fun to read book. The characters are raw, and the story is
intricate without being overly complicated. While I'm not, nor have I ever been
a police officer, I am a fan of the genre. This book ranks up at the top of my
list, and I look forward to future releases by Perry.
