Zone G is comprised of Jefferson, Shelby, St. Clair, Talladega, Calhoun, Clay, Cleburne, and Randolph counties. These books will be used by team members when they respond to officer-involved shootings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anytime there is an officer-involved shooting, Blue Watch will send copies of \u201cWinning A Gunfight\u201d, to any department. \u201cWinning A Gunfight\u201d was written by retired San Antonio Police Department sergeant and now ordained pastor Tim Rupp. Tim addresses the emotional and spiritual aspects of gunfights. This is a must read for any officer that has ever been involved in an officer-involved shooting.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you or someone you know has been involved in a gun battle and would like a copy of the book, let us know.
