Dear Website guest: 

          To those of you who first visited CourtroomSurvival.com when it was brand-new in 2001, welcome back! And, to those of you who are newcomers, welcome. Your first question is probably “what is CourtroomSurvival.com?” 

          I originally created this site in order to make myself available, post-DA-retirement, to peace officers who have work-related issues, particularly ones arising in the courtroom.

          As you peruse this site, you will discover a total of five (5) pages:

·        Home Page

·        Taking the First™

·        Hey Doc Copper!™

·        Books and law enforcement teaching

·        Member feedback

Let’s take these one-by-one, okay? The Home Page is basically a road map for this site. Taking the First™ is my commentary column. It allows me to share my views on public safety and other issues that impact any law abiding person.

Hey Doc Copper!™ is my own practical advice column for cops. It first appeared in 1987 and was available three ways: (a) by subscription, (b) as a regular feature in a number of law enforcement publications throughout America, and, (c) as a free public service to the many peace officers I served with as a DA in Riverside County, California.

What about the books and LE teaching page? First of all, I am writing three genres of books: (a) a Courtroom Survival™ series, (b) a fictional Joshua Travers™ adventure series, and, (c) biographies.

Courtroom Survival for Traffic Officers is awaiting publication. I am commencing work on the next book in this series. Other books are in progress, including Deadly Duty, which is now in final editing.

Law enforcement teaching covers a number of different topics. Earlier this decade, at the request of the Riverside County Sheriff’s Department, I created 16 hour POST-approved class called Courtroom Survival for Peace Officers™.

I am a POST-certified Level 1 Academy instructor. This allows me to teach at any Academy in my state. I am also a POST-certified Racial Profiling instructor and Adjunct Faculty at Riverside Community College District.

In short, I am available to teach anywhere eager law enforcement minds await. Thank you for the privilege of continuing to be part of this nation's dedicated law enforcement team.

Last but certainly not least: The Member feedback page allows you to share your thoughts on website-related issues. You can obtain membership by simply signing up. You do that by creating a user name and password, then follow the directions. Any questions or comments can be sent to me at the Member feedback page.
