experience, he is uniquely qualified to

containment, search techniques, tactics
used by suspects, use of force, and a wide
variety of air crew topics.
Jack started his law enforcement career as a Deputy Sheriff in Berks County
PA before moving to Los Angeles in 1983 and joining the Los Angeles Police
Department. He has witnessed firsthand the changes in how the police and
the suspects they are chasing are doing business on a daily basis.
After joining the Los Angeles Police Department, Jack worked as a patrol
officer where he was first exposed to the concept of perimeter containment as
an effective way to apprehend suspects fleeing on foot. He was involved in
perimeters on a nightly basis while working as a patrol officer.
Jack became a field training officer before transferring to an undercover
assignment working Hollywood Vice. After completing the 18-month vice tour
he was selected as an element member of the departments Metropolitan
Division. There, he worked across the entire city working crime suppression,
bank stake outs, VIP security, and crowd control details.
In late 1992, Jack applied for a position as a K-9 handler within Metropolitan
Division. He was transferred into that job and spent the next five years
searching for LA’s most dangerous criminals. He participated in over 700 high
risk K-9 searches as either the primary handler or search team member. More
than 300 of those searches resulted in the capture of the suspect. Jack
interviewed numerous suspects after their capture to learn how they
attempted to avoid being caught.
His next challenge came working as a Tactical Flight Officer (observer) with
LAPD’s 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 has participated in over 1,800 perimeter containments during his career,
and he has seen many successes and failures. He has shared his experience
with thousands of law enforcement officers across the United States and
Canada instructing on this topic.
He is the author of Apprehending Fleeing Suspects; Suspect Tactics and
Perimeter Containment© and has been published in Vertical Magazine, Police
Magazine, and Air Beat Magazine (journal of the Airborne Law Enforcement
Association).
Jack has a B.S. in Criminal Justice from Kutztown University of Pennsylvania
and is a certified instructor with California Police Officer Standards and
Training. Jack was runner-up for the 2005 Governor's California POST
Instructor of the Year Award.
