Fred R. Ferguson became the chief of police for the Salinas Police Department in the summer of 1977. He is the co-author of The Managing of Police Operations. According to the book description, “The Managing of Police Organizations, now in its fifth edition, is still THE essential text for any course in police organization and management, as well as for officers studying for promotional exams. While most texts in this area focus only on the basics on how to pass a promotional exam, this text takes a stronger and more prescriptive approach that teaches the reader exactly what he or she can do to create a stronger and more effective agency.

With a complete look at how to manage a police organization, including leadership strategies, stress management, and police community relations, The Managing of Police Organizations is the only choice for a complete understanding of police management.”

A.L. Ward is a highly acclaimed experienced Hypnotist, Healer and Instructor with a 51-year track record. His contribution to a massive research project proved that hypnosis corrected 'non-medically responsive' health problems and that a universally consistent pattern of negative emotions caused the physical deficiencies. He was educated in schools in California, and served with the Navy on the aircraft carrier Intrepid from 1943-1945. On returning home he obtained a commercial pilots license with a flight instructors rating. He joined the San Bernardino Police Department in 1955 and retired in 1980. Following retirement he earned a lifetime California Community College teaching credential in police science.

He is the author of two books: The Inner Mind Revisited and Heaven: The Road Back Home. According to The Inner Mind Revisited, it “is a unique book whose direct approach brings thought provoking testimony to the growing evidence that the mind of man is capable of penetrating into the world beyond. It is a significant contribution to the better understanding of hypnosis and the Soul of man. The author prods the mind of the reader into a new spiritual awareness and the certainty that a pattern and purpose in life lies within the inner mind of every individual. The book also lists over forty different medical problems, some determined incurable by the medical profession, which were resolved in his one-hour hypnotic process.”
