About the Author

Chief Pat McKinley is a 42-year veteran of law enforcement. After serving four years in the United States Air Force, he attended the police academy in Los Angeles. He then went on to work for the L.A. Police Department for 29 years, where in 1968, he and 75 other officers volunteered to be part of an elite force within the LAPD known as SWAT (Special Weapons And Tactics unit). During his 25 years of working with the SWAT team, McKinley was involved in more than 100 incidents involving barricaded suspects- from kidnapping to bank robberies to stalkings that turned into hostage situations. Working his way up to captain, McKinley spent 29 years with the LAPD.

McKinley's extensive training and experience with barricaded suspects has taught him volumes about the criminal mind. He learned that most criminals are weak-willed and skittish. The slightest resistance from a potential victim will send him or her looking for someone else to victimize. In an effort to understand this phenomenon, McKinley talked to victims and to officers who had spent time working with the victims of violent crimes. Through this research, McKinley gained insight into what causes criminals to prey on certain people.

In "She Bear," McKinley shares this knowledge with female readers who want to overcome their fears and cultural stereotypes. He teaches women the tools they need to become fierce, protective fighters.

In 1993, McKinley relocated to Fullerton, California, where he assumed the job of Chief of Police at the Fullerton Police Department.

A Life-Changing Book for Women Only

The fiercest animal in the forest is the female grizzly bear protecting her cub. She prevails over the stronger and larger male grizzly because she is fighting for something and he is not. In "She Bear," Chief of Police Pat McKinley provides instruction and insight as to how women can protect themselves with the same ferocity a female grizzly uses to protect her cubs.

The key to becoming a She Bear is using your "inner sense of danger." This instinct is unique to women and can give them the ability to outsmart a potential attacker, even one who is physically stronger. While current statistics state that one in four women will be a victim of sexual assault, it is McKinley's goal to change this indicator. After reading the techniques and information in "She Bear," you will learn how to avoid most unsafe situations and face any danger with which you are confronted.
