SURVIVAL CREED The will to survive, to survive the attack, must be uppermost in my mind. For the one who lives through a fight is better than one does not. Therefore, preparation, and not paranoia is the key to my survival. To survive I must be aware, be alert, be confident, be deceptive, be decisive, and be ready. I must expect the unexpected, and do the unexpected. When faced with violent physical assault, my life depends upon reaction without hesitation. There is no time to ponder, because to ponder is to possibly perish. My response, if attacked, must not be fear, but aggressiveness. I must block out all thoughts of my peril and think only of stopping my assailant. My prize in personal defense is my life. The perfect fight is one that is over before the loser realizes what is happening. The perfect defense is a counter attack that succeeds before the enemy can attack again. Therefore, if I am assaulted, I will retaliate instantly. I will be sudden and quick. I will be fast, not fair. Speed is my salvation. If my attacker knocks me down, I will fight back against the odds and get up off the ground. I will seize the initiative and take away every advantage. My concern is to stay alive. I wont hold back. If I find myself under lethal attack, I wont be kind. I will be harsh and tough. If I must shoot, I will shoot with precision and shoot to stop. If I must use my hands, I will use them with all the strength I posses and more. When I strike I will strike hard; I will kick, punch, and do what must be done to survive. I will strike no more after my attacker is incapable of further action, but I will see that he is stopped. Above all, I wont give up and I will make it. I will not die in the streets, or in an alley, or in any other part of the concrete jungle. I will survive; not just by luck and fortune, but by my skills. If I adhere to these basic principles of survival and adhere to the attitude that is suggested in them, as a police officer, I will greatly
enhance and perfect my skills in utilizing good and safe practices, tactics, and techniques.
