Biography
Scott Hyderkhan was born and raised in Greenfield, Indiana. Upon graduation from high school in 1980 he joined the United States Army on a Ranger contract. His 20 years of service in the United States Army is highlighted with a great deal of his service in the 2nd Battalion 75th Ranger Regiment. Scott retired from the United States Army in 2001 as a Master Sergeant. Scott entered service into law enforcement directly following military service and served for 19 years as a patrol officer with the City of Mercer Island, Washington. During his law enforcement career, Scott dedicated his military expertise and SWAT officer experience to evolving his agency's Tactical Response Unit and response capability in mass casualty incidents, specifically active shooter response preparation and training. Scott’s military and law enforcement experience spans 39 years. He is the author of the Active Shooter Response Manual (CRC Press, Taylor and Francis Group) and is the president of Kinetic Tactical Training Solutions LLC. Scott recently retired in January 2020 from the Mercer Island Police Department.
"This manual runs the security professional—law enforcement and private security alike—through preparation, response, and individual and team tactics based on proven military training doctrines. A good training resource to have on hand for law enforcement and security agencies, departments, and leadership."

"As a former police officer, SWAT and training officer, I appreciate the format of this book…[with] numbered lists (broken down into tasks and subtasks) as well as diagrams of how to apply the techniques. Since my retirement from law enforcement and training academy, I have taught criminal justice at the university, and prefer to see books that include scholarly research on the topic. To his credit, Hyderkhan’s book does include some scholarly studies, solid academic information, and case studies to support the tactics he described. While this may not matter to the average practitioner, it is important for police administrators when their policies and tactics come under question or scrutiny. There are other benefits of this book. First, Hyderkhan’s book uses the method of "Tell, Show, Do"… Second, the book is comprehensive yet succinct… Third, the author has a companion video library made up of 27 short videos for use with chapters 6 through 8."
