Question 1

Is Precision Policing pro-police or anti-police?

Accepted Answer

Neither. The book explicitly rejects both the defund-the-police and defend-the-police framings as failed paradigms and proposes a third-way operational doctrine designed to improve outcomes for both communities and officers.

Question 2

Does the book advocate militarizing the police?

Accepted Answer

No. It draws a sharp distinction between adopting military equipment (which it generally argues against) and adapting military methodology — intelligence, planning, restraint, after-action review (which it argues for). The thesis is that the lessons the military paid for in blood must not be repeated on American streets.

Question 3

Who should read Precision Policing?

Accepted Answer

Police leadership (chiefs, commanders, training officers), policy makers (legislators, mayors, city councils), civilian oversight bodies (review boards, inspectors general, DOJ monitors), community advocates demanding evidence-based reform, and criminal justice scholars.

Question 4

What makes this book different from other police reform books?

Accepted Answer

Most police reform proposals are diagnostic — they describe what is wrong. Precision Policing is operational — it provides a complete doctrinal framework with eight pillars, constitutional safeguards, and oversight architecture that departments can actually implement at scale, from rural sheriffs to metropolitan agencies.

Question 5

Where can I buy Precision Policing?

Accepted Answer

Available in hardcover, paperback, and Kindle through Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Bookshop.org, Apple Books, Kobo, and major independent bookstores.
