“You cannot rely on anyone but yourself to save your life…”

One Law Enforcement Family…Three Life-Changing Stories.
Police officer shootings dominate the headlines on an almost daily basis. Go beyond the superficial reporting, and find out what really happens when an officer makes a decision to use deadly force.

After The Trigger’s Pulled tells the story of one law enforcement family, a father and his two sons, who stunningly have found themselves in life and death situations, requiring each one to point their guns at another human being and pull the trigger. And it was never easy, or something they ever wanted to do.

Joseph Wambaugh has said that police work is the most emotionally dangerous work on earth. After The Trigger’s Pulled is that rare book that pulls back the curtain and reveals the emotions and toll taken by that work on a family of law enforcement professionals.

Each true story is told in gripping, white-knuckle detail, and puts you directly in the shoes of a police officer faced with a split-second decision that will change his life forever.

What’s it like to confront a vicious street criminal, who attacks without remorse or conscience? To come face-to-face with a shotgun-wielding domestic violence suspect? Or to see your partner crushed and bleeding at your feet, as you confront a deranged suspect hell-bent on destruction?

This book will be a revelation for some, and should be required reading for all, especially those who are in a position to shape debate and affect change. Open your hearts and minds, and take the journey with one law enforcement family dedicated to serving their communities. And along the way, find out what really happens before, during and after the trigger is pulled.
