COP’S GUIDE TO OCCULT INVESTIGATIONS
Understanding Satanism, Santeria, Wicca, and Other Alternative Religions
by Tony M. Kail
Learn to separate Hollywood fiction from real-life occult religious
practices in this comprehensive law enforcement guide to understanding
Wicca; Satanism; Asatru; Afro-Caribbean belief systems such as Voodoo,
Santeria and Palo Mayombe; vampire cults; and more.
For 13 years, Tony M. Kail, director of the Center for the Study of
Deviant Movements, has studied magico-religious groups and put their
beliefs in context for law enforcement agencies faced with rituals,
shrines, symbols and ceremonial objects that were beyond their training.
In this book, you’ll learn how to interpret ritual sites, develop contacts
in the occult community, identify the objects sacred to each religion,
respond to a ritual in progress, recognize signs of juveniles dabbling in
the occult, treat discoveries of shrines and offerings, and conduct an
investigation into an occult-related crime. This book also examines the
growing number of gangs and hate groups that take on the trappings of the
occult to empower their members and terrorize their victims. An
illustrated field guide helps readers identify commonly used ritual items.
Kail’s knowledge of the inner workings of these sometimes-mysterious sects
gives law enforcement officers, educators and anyone with an interest in
alternative religious practices an unprecedented look inside a world where
few outsiders are welcome. 8 1/2 x 11, softcover, photos, 184 pp.
Tony M. Kail has observed actual ceremonies and rites of passage of
several of these occult groups and has conducted interviews with members
and clergy of these religions. A former deputy and animal cruelty
investigator, he has provided training for several regional, state and
federal agencies, including the FBI. Kail serves as adjunct instructor for
the Police Sciences Division of Nashville State Technical College.

weapon along with a brief description, scales for size reference and in
many cases X-ray images to show how the item might look if passed through
a scanning device.

prepared to face future terrorist attacks. In this exclusive reprint of
the FBI catalog you will see metal, plastic and ceramic knives hidden in
pens, keys, belt buckles, jewelry, canes and cigarette lighters, as well
as impact weapons disguised as keychains and items hollowed out for the
possible concealment of explosives. Whether purchased simply as novelties
or as weapons, each of these objects must be viewed with its lethal
potential in mind
As citizens responsible for our own safety, we must know everything
possible about the dangers that face us, and awareness is the first, vital
step in this direction. 5 1/2 x 8 1/2, softcover, photos, 88 pp.
