About the Instructor
Ed was honored to participate in and complete the "Judicious Use of Deadly Force" course taught by Massad Ayoob. The course was mentally and physically demanding. Cops and lawyers who have taken the course agree that it goes well beyond the police academy and law school in the critical decision making arena of deadly force.
