Tracking Library
 

TTOS is the leading proponent of both Combat and Tactical Tracking in the world today and in training law enforcement and military personnel we are often asked what books and videos/CDs on tracking do we recommend for further study and related tracking interest. Therefore, we have compiled a list of books, first, those we strongly suggest all students of tracking should read and a second list which should be read to round out one’s tracking experience and knowledge.
