Jack H. Schonelys began his 25 year
law enforcement career with the Berks County
Sheriffs Office (Pennsylvania). In 1983, he joined the
Los Angeles Police Department. He has been a
patrol officer, Field Training Officer and undercover vice officer. After
working Hollywood Vice,
Jack Schonely transferred to the
LAPDs premier
tactical unit, Metropolitan Division. In
Metropolitan Division
Jack Schonely worked a variety of details,
including city-wide crime suppression, surveillance, VIP security and crowd
control.
In 1992,
Jack Schonely became a canine handler in
Metropolitan Division where he conducted over 700 high risk searches. A few
years later in his career he became a Tactical
Flight Officer (observer) with
LAPDs Air Support Division coordinating
tactical operations on a nightly basis. Many of these incidents involved foot
pursuits and perimeter containments. He was the Chief
Tactical Flight Officer for a short time before
he switched seats in the helicopter and was selected as a Command Pilot at Air
Support where he is still assigned. He is a Certified Flight Instructor in
rotorcraft. Jack was the recipient of the 2004 Air Crew of the Year Award at
LAPD Air Support. Jack Schonley has a BS in
Criminal Justice.
Jack Schonley is the author of
Apprehending Fleeing Suspects; Suspect Tactics and Perimeter Containment.
According to Deputy Chief Mike Hillmann (who wrote the forward), This book is
one of the most comprehensive and to the point manuscripts that I have had the
pleasure to review in my 38 years of
law enforcement. Apprehending Fleeing Suspects
is the how to, nuts and bolts of field enforcement tactics and is not only
focused on suspect apprehension, but on officer safety. A must read for the
professional police officer.
William W. Wilhelm was a motorcycle officer for
the
Los Angeles Police Department in the 1950s and
1960s. His book, Code Two and a Half offers a fascinating look
at the career of an
LAPD motor officer during the fifties and
sixties, through boredom, tickets, riots and earthquakes. Take a trip down the
highway with Bill Wilhelm - his nostalgic memoir shows there's not all that much
difference between patrolling on a Harley in Los Angeles and patrolling on a
subway train in New York City. According to retired Chief of Police, Melvin W.
Mouser, Bill's short stories as a motor officer for the
LAPD are an historical account of man against
machine, odds and circumstances. To have ridden a million-plus miles...is a
tribute to the grit and dedication of those road warriors of the era.
Wesley Mountain is retired
LAPD officer
Michael A. Nichols pen name. According to
Michael Nichols, his career in law enforcement gave him an interest in solving
crimes. His leadership experience as an elder in his local church has also
increased his understanding of the need for knowing God and His Word - key
factors in all his books. He manages a Christian stewardship ministry and is
president of Man-West Enterprises, Inc.
Michael A. Nichols is the author of six books:
Shouting Stones; Who Is In Control?; Amazing Ride; Our Heavenly Home;
Heading Home To Heaven; Priceless Power of Prayer; and, Basic Bible Prophecy.
