    Make Your Training Real
    The purpose of law enforcement defensive tactics training is to develop your response, enhance your skills, and reinforce tactics to prepare you for the real world encounters you will face on the job. I like to say, "Training is supposed to prepare you for what is about to occur, not for what you hope doesn't occur."The purpose of training is not to create a paper trail that confirms you are going through the motions, allowing you to feel good about yourself. That only creates false confidence a

    Learn to Love Chaos
    I loved chaos when I was working. It's my view that if you can't make order out of chaos, then you shouldn't be a supervisor. You don't earn your pay on a quiet night; you earn it when all hell breaks loose. How you deal with chaos defines how effective you are as a supervisor.About 10 years ago, my former agency conducted its first mock terrorism training exercise at one of our local high schools.

    Bearing False Witness
    The ninth of the Ten Commandments says, "Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor." Most people interpret this to be a prohibition against lying. But it goes much deeper than that. Bearing false witness is much worse than just lying. It means you are intentionally lying about somebody in order to get that person in trouble, maybe even have that person punished for something he or she didn't do.As law enforcement officers you have to put up with a lot of people bearing false witness
