''The Officer's Guide to Police Pistolcraft'' (a sequel to and expansion of the 2007 book ''Police Pistolcraft'') is a 2009 non-fiction book by Michael E. Conti which covers combat-related situations arising in the course of standard law enforcement. Together with ''Police Pistolcraft'', it forms the basis for the current pistol training program of the Massachusetts State Police〔 and has been adopted by a range of other law enforcement jurisdictions. ==Overview== ''The Officer's Guide to Police Pistolcraft'' describes a method of training and philosophy of pistolcraft developed by Michael E. Conti, an officer of the Massachusetts State police, and follows and expands Conti's 2007 book ''Police Pistolcraft''. Conti joined the Massachusetts State Police in 1986 and as of 2009 is still a serving officer. During his career, he has held assignments ranging from uniformed patrol, high-crime area community policing, SWAT and special security details, and undercover narcotics and death investigations. Since 1991 he has acted as a professional trainer and holds instructor certifications in various use of force disciplines. In January 2000, Conti was given the task of setting up and putting into operation a Firearms Training Unit (FTU) for the State Police. The unit was to be responsible for conducting yearly qualification courses of fire for department personnel, and for training academy recruits in firearms use. As part of his work in this role, Conti developed a new style of training which he describes as "reality-based", as he felt that the traditional sight-oriented and marksmanship-based approach that was until that time being used did not meet the needs of police officers on the street. The new style of training emphasised Applegate-style target focused shooting, complemented by sight-focused precision shooting at appropriate distances. Conti constructed a purpose-built training facility at Massachusetts State Police headquarters to demonstrate his revised training program.〔 In 2007 Conti used this new training paradigm as the basis of his book ''Police Pistolcraft''. Following the publication of that book, a demand emerged for a text detailing the specific methods of the "new paradigm," which led Conti to write ''The Officer's Guide to Police Pistolcraft''.〔 Conti is also the author of ''Beyond Pepper Spray: The Complete Guide to Chemical Agents, Delivery Systems, and Protective Masks'' (Paladin Press, 2002). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Officer's Guide to Police Pistolcraft」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
