“Dr. Kinnaird is a true pioneer in the scientific study of force (which he has termed 'forceology') in the police world.  His book, Use of Force, is a superb resource that paves the way for law enforcement to become a true 'profession' -- just like the medical profession -- in the 21st century.  The principles outlined in this book apply common sense and scientific rigor to 'the use of force under law' in order to be correct in this vital aspect of law enforcement. 

     There is a powerful vision and a vital mission captured in this book.  That mission, and that vision, is to establish the scientific foundation to have law enforcement 'professionals' who will consistently perform this most critical aspect of their job in the most competent, capable, and effective manner possible.  That vision has been well and truly communicated in this book.  And that mission can be accomplished if law enforcement agencies and officers will read and heed this book”.
