Private Bachelor Shoot and Scoot

MAST Solutions members and their families are cordially invited to our Christmas Party.  This is a great social event and a time to celebrate…

Ed spent 12 years on the frontline of the war on drugs. Working with law enforcement of every level to combat some of the largest and most organized criminal elements on the planet, he observed massive discrepancies between the training of enforcement officers and evolving criminal methods.

The arms race of information, accelerated by the internet, left law enforcement chronically behind. While enforcement was developing safer means of weapon carry, criminals were developing and distributing methods of negating access to firearms and other tools. Criminal use of edged weapons starkly contrasts with mainstream systems, stripping away flashy techniques in favor of a primitive, savage and highly effective low-tech approach. Constrained by bureaucracy and crippled by outdated training, enforcement found themselves unable to keep up.

Expensive lessons were ignored on both sides of the border.

Ed began to study obsessively. He made it his mission to develop a better understanding of the mindset and methods of the successful criminal, training to counter those methods specifically. Tireless observation and research, reverse engineering of criminal activity, full immersion into critically dangerous environments, severe hardship and fatal mistakes have led to the accumulation and development of the most unique curriculum available to the public.

After leaving service, Ed focused on spreading awareness of the realities of modern policing and sharing his hard earned experience. Enforcement continues to struggle to adapt to advancing technology and changing methods; something as simple as civilian surveillance has effectively disrupted enforcement across the country. Critical gaps in shared knowledge and training have contributed to chronic and still-escalating use of force violations. Ed continues to struggle to fill the gap, to dispel the myths and misinformation that plague modern officers, and provide a glimpse of the nightmares out there, at the edges of the streets.

Any savvy thief will tell you: Only dumb criminals get caught.
