Remember when you first began this job…

You would’ve done it for free …

15 years later on average…

Same clientele as when they first began … same less than perfect leadership now as then…

3x as many cops chose to take their own lives last year as died from felonious gunfire…

WHY? Evil is real … It has a plan to defeat you …

”The skillful fighter puts himself into a position which makes defeat impossible…”
- - Sun Tzu.

Jim Bontrager is a veteran law
enforcement instructor,
communicator
and U.S. Marine.
Sun Tzu was a Chinese general and tactician born in 544 B.C. A brilliant strategist, he authored
the epic war tome, The Art of War, required reading for the CIA, U.S. Military Intelligence and the
Marine Corps Reading Program. Sun Tzu specialized in tactics that equipped an inferior force to
defeat a superior one. Employing such principles as using deception, carefully accomodating
yourself to your enemy’s purposes, exploiting your enemy’s disposition, baiting his forces to
conquer them through ambush and ideally breaking their resistance without fighting was the
primary goal. This training will examine how these same tactics are used to destroy law
enforcement officer’s psychological well-being. We will identify the deceptions employed
against officers, the ways evil accommodates itself to the profession, the baits offered to lure
officers and the sobering reality of success in getting them to quit without a fight. This course
will share “rubber meet the road” strategies that will armor up warriors psychologically,
fortifying them against defeat!
