Shawn Hughes is a veteran Patrol Officer who in addition to being a Bomb Technician, has served with other special teams including Entry, Narcotics, and Technical Surveillance units. A sometimes controversial speaker and writer, his work has appeared in peer-reviewed journals including the National Tactical Association’s
Tactical Edge, the International Association of Bomb Technicians’
Detonator, and other respected national publications such as
S.W.A.T., Police, Frontline Responder and
The Police Marksman.
His books include a well-received manual for First Responders and Prepared Citizens entitled, The WMD Awareness Guide, and one in post-production; the first in a series of study guides on physical security vulnerability exploitation.
When he isn’t writing, he teaches, lectures and consults for government and the private sector in addition to whatever else tickles his fancy.
