a manual by J Danis
'U.R.E.S. 2000' is the first comprehensive rope operations safety manual geared to police ERT/SWAT and Counter-Terrorist operations, with a foreword by retired RCMP ERT Commander - Constable WCM McCue.
This up-to-date tool is available on CD with 200 pages and 300 photos (scroll down for prices), plus a score of schematic diagrams. Focused on safety and stealth combined with finesse, many of the techniques permit instant hands off action when crucial. The same mechanisms permit continued ascent or descent without special time consuming learned skills. The manual presents applications for the new TRG SWAT Descender, which is a one-hand auto lock descender and is highly recommended by the author.
A comprehensive chapter on knots and urban structure safety rigging is given and applied to common scenarios. The ERT Candidate testing section presents some of the more common and hitherto unknown rope obstacles that can be employed to test blind trust and true courage in candidates.
The section titled Aerial Trespassers presents scenarios and well thought out solutions for dealing with illegal protesters on rope. These were all created with subtlety in mind so as to remove trespassers as un-dramatically as possible. The Anarchists and Aerial Trespassers who may be visiting your city this year know about and fear SRS - 'Urban Rope Entry Systems'... don't you think you should know too?

Originally written for the RCMP to enhance their capabilities in their role at the XV Commonwealth Games This is a unique manual of rope systems applied to the Police role. It takes a broader approach to rappel and ascending techniques, emphasizing stealth and control. These techniques are referred to as Stealth Rope Systems. There are many hands off techniques and suggestions for Quick Release Devices. There is a solution included to deal with child hostage rescues at height which is innovative and very useful to officers. Several other types of scenarios and solutions are included as well.
