Publisher's Synopsis
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 "Ground Zero" for mass-killing-events, many of which have a domestic violence and/or stalking related nexus that has "spillover," 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 "Stop-Gap" measure that seeks to only limit the loss of life, while doing nothing to proactively prevent the first shot from being fired. Therefore, the "best practice" first step to workplace safety must be "Workplace Violence Avoidance," 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!
