How about LEO training on how not to overreact and shoot unarmed people. Not a BLM wacko but too many untrained or simply tough-guys with a badge. (Minneapolis police officer shoots Australian woman through door)
Thanks for the tip. You just saved me a 40-hour, 5-day course.
That’s one cop out of close to a million in the US and who knows how hundreds of millions of calls for service every year. You nailed that one. I’ve got a better idea, don’t lower the hiring standards and go back to high stress academies.
Exactly. I can’t speak to that officer specifically but the consequences of the guardian movement is low stress community college esque police academies where the fight for life is removed, where PT is replaced with trendty acronyms on dealing with people with preferred pronoun and then coupled with hiring hair dressers and baristas to appease the PC crowd. But they look good on your Facebook page and promo videos…
Put you money were your mouth is and go sign up.
This. Every law enforcement expert I meet does not have the balls to do the job. If you know how to revolutionize the LE community, get involved and make it happen.
As for the class; ALERRT classes are tuition free, TECC or TCCC or Tactical Lifesaver classes are tuition free, some firearms training is tuition free. We all know how the free vs. $$$ fight will go when requesting classes. If administration is having heart attacks losing their tac-guys for a week for SWAT training do we really think they are going to give up Patrol guys for a week? Especially in the current environment of “militarization”? By the way, thanks President Trump for breathing new life into the 10-33 program. Bring on the bargains!
I believe they saw the Illinois Tactical Patrol Officer Model and saw dollar signs. I’m all for training, just don’t know how successful this will be. The training market is saturated. Hell, John Giduck reemerged this year. What a puke.
Staying tuned.
Looks like SWAT basic light. Every department with a team should have their tac guys pushing this knowledge thru all the other units.
