It’s as real as it gets.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1615598819057-1ZRVCMPHPJL0ZDDPUKA9/Screen%2BShot%2B2021-03-12%2Bat%2B5.24.47%2BPM.jpg Home - I met Lozada when I was hired by Movie Mogul - Jerry Bruckheimer to write a movie about his Police exploits with the San Francisco Police Department. The tag line was “America’s Most Decorated, Most Investigated Cop” and it always got a laugh. What Hollywood wanted was a shoot’em up, karate-kicking, car chase, all of which Lozada delivers and more, but a cartoon portrait no longer cuts it. He’s been in Officer-Involved Shootings, made some of the biggest busts, and gotten his ass busted for it every time. A divisive figure, Kool Kat as he was known on the street, was a first-generation hip-hop Cop who was loved and hated, both on the Force and in the Community. He took on the old boy network with his street cred, flashy clothes, slang, tattoos, and gutsy arrests. Nothing came without a consequence, even the medals. Police Star 187, later assigned to him, became controversial, to say the least. This book tells of a true-to-life portrait of Lozada. It’s as real as it gets. A Defense Attorney referred to him as, “No Peer - No Parallel”. What most Cops fear the most, it’s usually their own Department. Add a little City Politics and Police Corruption, you’re now in the world of Officer 1-Eight-7. The job is impossible, but when you have GOD riding shotgun with you, all along the way. You just can’t lose. His upbringing as a youth gave him the tools to survive in a thankless society, especially as a Cop. Being a Christian gave Lozada a purpose, it became his lifestyle. – Larry Golin, Director, and Screenwriter https://www.officer1eight7.com/about daily 0.75 2021-03-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1615601397833-IEEVRZX31NMLCZ2606Z5/paulheadshot.jpg About - I wanted to give readers the opportunity to see things through the eyes of a police officer; learn about the injustices that occur within, the politics, the corruption, and the different ways officers risk their lives to do what’s right. Whether it’s on the streets or in the workplace, there are those that care about their communities and those that care only for their personal gain. I made my choice, and I sacrificed everything to stand for what was right. During my Law Enforcement career, I have been assigned to an Intelligence Unit, Special Operations Group, Federal Task Force, Homicide Division, Special Investigations Division, Gang Task Force, Narcotics Division, Fencing Detail, Vice Crimes, Plainclothes Unit, and Patrol Division for over Thirty-seven years. I have made over twenty thousand Felony Arrests during my career ranging from Narcotics to Homicides. In Federal and State courts, I have been qualified as an Expert in Gangs and Narcotics. While serving in the Federal Task Force, Gang Task Force, and Violent Crimes Task Force, I was responsible for coordinating and supervising officers assigned to our detail. I’m presently a Retired Police Sergeant (State). I was involved in numerous Undercover Drug/Buy programs and the preparation and executions of Search and Arrest Warrants. I worked closely with numerous Local Police Agencies throughout the State of California, out of State Police Agencies, California Department of Justice, Bureau of Narcotics Enforcement, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms, Drug Enforcement Administration, Federal Bureau of Investigations, Immigration & Naturalization Service, United States Secret Service, U.S. Marshall’s Service, United States Postal Inspection Service” in Organized Crime Investigations, Narcotic, and Gang Related Investigations/Arrests. I instruct courses known as “The Training Day”. It's the class you never got in the Police Academy or Advanced Officer’s Training. This intense course is about survival and longevity as a Law Enforcement Officer. Learn to make quick decisions within three seconds in order to assess and survive a deadly encounter. Acquire the right decisions to avoid becoming the next media poster child. Assimilate tried and proven tactics that work. “You wanna go to the morgue, or you wanna go home? Because, every encounter is an Armed encounter, why? Because you’re Armed”. An Officer Survival Course. In the TV and Film Industry, I am a Producer, Writer, and Consultant to Top Hollywood Directors. My credits include: Training Day, Tears of the Sun, Brooklyn's Finest, Olympus has Fallen, Magnificent Seven, Equalizer I & II, ICE TV Series, Streets of L.A., to name a few. Numerous other Film Projects are in pre-production. . https://www.officer1eight7.com/contact daily 0.75 2021-03-19 https://www.officer1eight7.com/gallery daily 0.75 2021-04-12 https://www.officer1eight7.com/privacy-policy daily 0.75 2021-03-19 https://www.officer1eight7.com/terms-and-conditions daily 0.75 2021-03-19 https://www.officer1eight7.com/modern-combat daily 0.75 2023-01-14 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1624651549449-944GYGX32909Z72AZT5Q/1200x600.jpeg Modern Combat - WHY? Unconfident and undertrained Police Officers will be more likely to draw their firearms in response to physically aggressive altercations. We must, as Officers, be combat trained to confidently handle real-world situations without resulting to the use of deadly force, and It’s the responsibility of our Police Departments to give Officers the necessary resources to do their job safely and confidently. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1624658434425-PQQTPVVRC1Z9P8GB8FYG/IMG_0107+%281%29.jpg Modern Combat My father and Sifu, Raynaud Lozada, is the cousin of the late world-famous Escrima Grand Master Angel Cabales. In 1945 SGM Raynaud Lozada entered the United States Army and claimed a two-time boxing championship title. During his military career, he served in WWII, Korea, and Viet Nam where he earned the rank of Sergeant Major and became a highly decorated combat veteran. During his travels, he trained in Japan and learned the art of Okinawa Te in 1954. In 1956, he trained under Master Masoyama who instructed him in the art of Kyoku Shinkai. In 1959, he went to Thailand and trained in Thai Boxing. He was formally introduced to the Chinese art of Kung Fu in Hong Kong in 1960 and completed extensive training in Chinatown. Under the collaboration of some of the world's great masters, Grand Master Lozada learned the Five Animal (Internal System) of Hung Gar as well as Wing Chun, Tai Chi, Southern and Northern Shaolin. He was finally trained in the arts of Shotoshainkai and Shotokan Karate under the direction of Sensei Takahashi where he earned his Judan (10th Degree Black Belt) and was bestowed the title and degree of “Grand Master” in Yokohama, Japan. After extensive research and application in the combat arts, Grand Master Lozada founded his own system known as Kuochi Kali Kar. Kuochi - Kung Fu Internal System, Kali - Serrada Escrima, Kar - Shotokan Ryu Combat Karate. Like my father, I had a thirst for knowledge training under multiple martial art systems for over 47 years, and have maintained status as a Master Instructor since 1979. I believe that no style of martial arts is superior to another, and in order to maintain that fighting edge, you must compliment weaknesses in one martial art with strengths from another. Being so heavily involved in martial arts, I knew immediately that the lack of training among the Police Department was dangerously insufficient. It was unsettling to witness and it weighed heavily on me, but I saw it as an opportunity to create the positive change that the Department needed. With the goal of preserving community lives and increasing Officer safety, I, with the help of my brother, created a system of close-quarter combat tactics that would save lives. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1624664301344-WQ8ZT4MO0JC4JVBKZVNB/IMG_7071.jpg Modern Combat - MODERN COMBAT Committed to preparing my fellow Officers for what they would encounter on the streets, Modern Combat came to fruition in the early ’90s and was very well-received among the law enforcement community. Peace officers across different agencies were now being trained far beyond the standards of their respective departments, giving them the knowledge and confidence to take on aggressors in hand-to-hand combat. This MMA-style of close-quarter combat consisted of Boxing, Muay Thai, Jiu-Jitsu, Hapkido, Kyokushin Karate, Wing Chun, Hung Ga, Kung Fu, and Escrima. This armed/unarmed MMA combat approach gave Officers the hands-on learning experiences needed to tactically handle the life or death circumstances they would encounter. With Police Departments all over the United States drastically losing personnel and on the verge of being defunded, it’s a clear indication that the training systems in place, again, have led to undertrained Officers being fearful - in turn, defaulting to the use of deadly force. Now, more than ever, proper funding will play a significant role in the ability of law enforcement communities to carry out their commitment of reform- properly training and preparing Officers to be successful at their jobs. This means combat training with systems like Modern Combat or Tony Blauer’s S.P.E.A.R. system, and continuous training requirements to stay “fit for service”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1624819637199-YXIDSHQ192XDFTRRCYK1/Screen+Shot+2021-06-24+at+9.31.54+PM.png Modern Combat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1624819783361-NFAOJSZVU4E8QSQSNPVY/Screen+Shot+2021-06-24+at+9.33.12+PM.jpg Modern Combat https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1634942872882-4EUO9I4GW9OXG8WH4YIP/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+3.16.42+PM.jpg Modern Combat - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.officer1eight7.com/shop daily 0.75 2021-10-22 https://www.officer1eight7.com/shop/books monthly 0.5 2021-10-22 https://www.officer1eight7.com/shop/apparel monthly 0.5 2021-07-13 https://www.officer1eight7.com/shop/p/jrl65mqn23rozhkfjsqppllzrr1x84 monthly 0.5 2021-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1615604145715-67UNO5D43NI9G1E3GL5R/093-5.5x8.5-Front-and-Back-Paperback-Book-Mockup-COVERVAULT.jpg SHOP - OFFICER 1EIGHT7 - Paperback https://www.officer1eight7.com/shop/p/6bvq8ysrvt5aqa3425ac6yz16fzx9y monthly 0.5 2021-07-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1616096643482-B80TGTNC9XRD5TP2WMC8/EBOOK.jpg SHOP - OFFICER 1EIGHT7 - Ebook https://www.officer1eight7.com/shop/p/5547074zj7wmx0cs0wj9n39zpm3ps4 monthly 0.5 2021-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1624682112582-EQBWZ7LEKVYDGCEG451R/Screen+Shot+2021-06-24+at+9.31.54+PM.png SHOP - Modern Combat Cotton T-Shirt https://www.officer1eight7.com/shop/p/modern-combat-pullover-hoodie-pre-order-only monthly 0.5 2021-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1624682187632-302WNQ4SOHXMKQSZ32XG/Screen+Shot+2021-06-24+at+9.33.12+PM.jpg SHOP - Modern Combat Pullover Hoodie https://www.officer1eight7.com/shop/p/bf5yrsi7hcwokj63up0q6tiwbiwrws monthly 0.5 2021-07-13 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1626139013587-FG7AAAL5P6I2SPYCW4V1/wtlogo.jpg SHOP - Officer 1Eight7 Cotton T-Shirt https://www.officer1eight7.com/shop/p/practical-police-baton-techniques-volume-1 monthly 0.5 2021-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1634942544529-L1DLEEUH4S0MKQ2QPGTJ/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+3.16.42+PM.jpg SHOP - Practical Police Baton Techniques (Volume 1) https://www.officer1eight7.com/shop/p/practical-police-baton-techniques-volume-1-ebook monthly 0.5 2021-10-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/604baf76ba210258356d2da6/1634942872882-4EUO9I4GW9OXG8WH4YIP/Screen+Shot+2021-10-22+at+3.16.42+PM.jpg SHOP - Practical Police Baton Techniques (Volume 1) Ebooklet
