'My partner said, ’You know you could have shot him.’ He was right. I didn’t. That gap between what I was permitted to do and what I chose to do is what this book is about.'William B. Jones, a Chicago native and a law enforcement officer with more than thirty years of service, explores the pervasive hidden force behind racially disparate policing, emphasizing the gap between permitted and chosen actions.His life’s work is measured in lives: every person who walks away from an encounter with police unharmed, and every officer who learns there was another way. He is the father of five children, and everything he does is an effort to leave them a better world than the one he grew up in.He developed The Mental Dial to help police officers to manage their split-second judgment calls, aiming to help officers manage the moments where their judgment decides whether someone’s loved one lives or dies.Licensed to Kill, Not Prepared to Serve is grounded in peer-reviewed research, shaped by Chicago’s hardest streets, and unflinching about what the profession has yet to reckon with.For more information, visit:SkylineLegacyMedia.com
