• Make Your Training Real

  07-08-2017 22:37 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  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

  07-08-2017 18:37 via feedproxy.google.com
  
  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.

It started off slow and then everything seemed to happen at once. Before I knew it, a school bus h
