About the Author

Author Patrick Doering is a police Lieutenant and skilled hostage/crisis negotiator with the Lake Saint Louis, Missouri, Police Department. Doering's passion for crisis negotiation led him to interview pioneers from the 1970s and '80s who negotiated everything from hijackings and bank robberies to hostage situations and suicide attempts. In Crisis Cops, he traces the evolution of the concept of "crisis negotiations" and shares their stories-colorful, comical, tragic and heartbreaking-distilling the essential communications, tactical and human lessons he and his colleagues have learned through the years. A graduate of the FBI National Academy with over 400 hours of training in crisis negotiation, Doering has a master's degree in Criminal Justice Administration. He resides with his wife and four children in Wentzville, Missouri.
