The authors and publisher advise readers to take full responsibility for their safety and know their limits. Before practicing the skills described in this book, be sure that your equipment is well maintained, and do not take risks beyond your level of certification, experience, aptitude, training, and comfort.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
We would like to thank the C-TECC committee for answering the need for a widely accessible program to implement tactical operations procedures in an easy to learn and apply format for civilian responders.
