Stop Him from Killing Them is a powerful true crime story of how a police commander stopped more than 1850 violent men from killing the women they were stalking. Commander Paul Szych takes you through his 30-year journey in law enforcement, to teach you how to proactively avoid domestic violence, stalking and workplace violence related killing events. This book is based on true events involving dangerous men who are willing to threaten, stalk, and murder the women they are pursuing. Sadly, the workplace has become the new "e;Ground Zero"e; for mass-killing-events, many of which have a domestic violence and/or stalking related nexus that has "e;spillover,"e; into the workplace environment. While active shooter training is an important mitigative layer to workplace safety, it assumes that an active shooter incident is already in progress and lives are being lost. law enforcement will respond to such an event as fast as humanely possible, however, this response takes time. Time is the one thing that you do not have during an active shooter incident - if the goal is to have zero victim fatalities. The reality is that most active shooter incidents start and conclude prior to law enforcement making contact with the shooter, thus active shooter training is a "e;Stop-Gap"e; measure that seeks to only limit the loss of life, while doing nothing to proactively prevent the first shot from being fired. Therefore, the "e;best practice"e; first step to workplace safety must be "e;Workplace Violence Avoidance,"e; as described within this book. The path to stopping the increasing threat of domestic violence, stalking, school, and workplace violence related homicide starts the moment you read this book!

Textauszug

“A powerful, lifesaving, life-affirming book! This book has established ‘best practices’ in the realm of stalking and domestic violence. It should be ‘required reading’ for threat assessment professionals and law enforcement officers, and it should sit on the bookshelf next to Gavin de Becker’s classic book, The Gift of Fear, for anyone who wants to regain control of their lives when faced with threats, stalking, or abuse.”

Lt. Col. Dave Grossman, USA (Ret.)

Author of On Combat and On Killing

“When I founded the Los Angeles Police Department’s Threat Management Unit twenty-five years ago, little was generally known about stalking; and in the absence of stalking laws at the time, we had to be creative in finding ways to protect victims. Commander Paul Szych brings creativity to a whole other level and raises important issues that need to be raised, and he asks hard questions that need to be asked. The roadmap he lays out is not for the faint of heart, but victims at risk deserve no less.”

Captain Robert J. Martin (LAPD 1966-1994)

Vice President, Gavin de Becker & Associates

“Today more than ever, preventive measures are needed to proactively avoid incidents of domestic violence & stalking related ‘spillover’ into the workplace. Preventing targeted violence should be a priority for any organization. Commander Paul Szych’s trainings, writings and ideology have been instrumental in assisting the University of New Mexico Hospitals in developing a culture of proactive workplace violence avoidance.”

Felix L. Funes, Executive Director of Security

University of New Mexico Hospitals

“Commander Paul Szych’s book lays out a ‘safety minded’ roadmap for identifying dangerous individuals throughout all segments of society, and then seeks to mitigate them before they act and harm others. Stop Him from Killing Them is a masterpiece for anyone who is seeking safety related options to scarry things that most of us would prefer to not think about.”

“Commander Paul Szych offers an in-depth perspective into the unfortunate but very real threat of workplace violence. Utilizing his book Stop Him from Killing Them as a roadmap, Commander Szych’s training and consultation has provided our company with the insight necessary to avoid credible threats to our business.

“This book is refreshingly straight-forward and to the point. Law enforcement must continually think ‘outside the box’ to seek out and achieve ‘best practice’ in all we do. Commander Paul Szych’s book lays an operational foundation, through his actual work experiences, to improve victim safety by utilizing proactive approaches to threat mitigation. The world as we know it is changing, and we must as well, if we are to ensure the best opportunity to reduce crime and increase victim safety.”

Chief Harold Medina

Albuquerque Police Department

“This book is refreshing! It brings to the forefront the importance of identifying those who are most volatile and dangerous in a domestic violence or stalking situation. The idea of creating a ‘mindset’ for law enforcement to know who is most likely to offend, and then act on the precursors of an offender’s known lethality, will be instrumental to deter, prevent, and proactively manage these complicated situations. The game changer for law enforcement is to be educated in the importance of identifying the warning signs, reporting information into databases for intelligence, and predictive policing. The vision of having specialized investigative stalking units is a good idea to help reduce lethality and improve victim safety.”

Sheriff Manuel Gonzales III (Ret.)

Bernalillo County Sheriff’s Office

“Based on over three decades of examining our world from behind crime scene tape, I learned first-hand that for homicides to occur, there must be a crossing of time and space between a well-motivated offender and a suitable victim - within an environment suitable for violence. And while it remains very difficult to predict what day of the week - at what time of the day - and on what street corner a gang member may choose to retaliate against another, intimate partner violence and stalking behavior provides us patterns and details that make it the most preventable form of homicide. In his latest book, ‘Stop Him from Killing Them,’ Commander Paul Szych’s longstanding passion and dedication to this work now provides poignant and timely insight for more intelligent and effective proactive policing strategies.”

Cabinet Secretary Gregg Marcantel (Ret.), State of New Mexico

“After 30 years in law enforcement two of the things I learned were officers properly informed and equipped with resources are very effective in serving the community. Traditionally, when responding to acts of domestic violence officers were left with identifying the aggressor and removing them from the home often through arrest. Officers left the home knowing there was more that needed to be done or officers would be returning again. To address this gap in service Domestic Violence Advocates were created as a means to help victims and families to identify services and resources to help break the cycle of domestic violence. Once officers were educated on the role of the Domestic Violence Advocates and what a great resource they are, the demand for advocates grew making law enforcement’s response to domestic violence more effective. In reading ‘Stop Him from Killing Them’ by Commander Paul Szych, I see the same potential impact on how law enforcement responds to crimes of stalking. This book educates law enforcement officers about the seriousness of stalking crimes, the signs to look for and what officers can do to help victims. It is my hope that all officers will read this book equipping them with the knowledge and resources to help recognize and prevent high–lethality threats.”

Chief Kevin McCabe, (Ret.)

University of New Mexico Police Department

“Today I challenge all police administrators to ask themselves one simple question: Does my department do everything possible to protect and serve victims of high-lethality stalking and domestic violence? If there is even a slight hesitation in your response or any doubt exists in your mind, my strong recommendation is to carefully and attentively read each and every chapter of this book. There is a better way of doing business today. The adage, ‘the more things change, the more they stay the same’ is far too true due to both police and societal misconceptions regarding domestic violence and stalking. Commander Paul Szych is truly a visionary force for a proactive law enforcement response to high-lethality threats. In my almost forty years in law enforcement, I have observed countless women murdered at the hands of stalkers, partially facilitated by an absolute lack of proactive law enforcement intervention. Commander Szych’s Dynamic Stalking Intervention® Model has dramatically improved our department’s identification and response to high-lethality threats, providing for an expediential increase in victim safety. This book has the potential to serve as a ‘best practice’ guide for every cop in this country. We all entered this noble profession with the mandate to ‘protect and serve.’ It’s up to all of us in law enforcement to accept Commander Szych’s challenge and do our part to make victim safety a true priority.”

Chief Michael Geier (Ret.)

Albuquerque Police Department

“I have been a law enforcement professional for over 30-years serving in the Metropolitan Detroit Area. As a young officer working for the City of Ypsilanti back in the mid-to late eighties, I was mentored by Ronald Szych, and later had the pleasure and honor to mentor his son, Paul Szych. I have watched Paul grow from a young Police Explorer/Cadet into a seasoned, experienced police officer who is now leading and motivating as a highly distinguished command officer and literary instructor. I support Paul and his new book, which is the most down to earth, straightforward, comprehensive, reality-based lifesaving information ever put on paper. I have watched numerous dangerous offenders stalk, kill, and abuse helpless victims. This book truly captivates the harsh reality we all must face if we are to improve victim safety and secure the workplace environment. This is a must read for any officer, command officer, administrative staff, clerical staff and anyone who goes about their daily routine as a person in this country and beyond. Words don’t begin to explain how proud I am of Paul, and how impressed I am with this piece of literary genius. The...
