he is uniquely qualified to instruct and write on the

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.
