The quality of this video is excellent and the information is organized. - SWAT MAGAZINE

Important viewing for those officers assigned to counter-terrorism duty... Police tacticians should direct close attention to the hostage rescue scenes since this type of strategic deployment must be implemented to seriously battle terrorism here in the US - LAW ENFORCEMENT TECHNOLOGY

The realism of this tape is outstanding. These are all live scenes, although well-rehearsed. Some of the techniques will be worth incorporating into training programs. All told, a good buy for the price.
