"We will be taking a look at old methodologies and training programs that have caused “scars” on the psyche of public safety personnel. Discussions will involve the “Use of Force” continuum model, techniques for physical force, and testing your program to the ethos of 'Are you range or real?'”
"The terrain in which our law enforcement officers will engage targets is often unpredictable," Petry says. "A typical engagement can take place in open, wooded, or urban terrain. Sometimes, officers can find themselves in all of these types of terrain in a single day. There are optics available that can meet the marksmanship needs for all scenarios and will better protect the lives of law enforcement officers across the country."
Shooting ranges nationwide, including law enforcement facilities, are being cited by health and safety officials for noise control violations. These citations have resulted in a reduction of operating hours, range shutdowns, and in some cases, fines for non-compliance of noise exposure limits.
The class will cover the practical use of reflex sights on handguns, how they work, and the advantages they offer in terms of tactical effectiveness, enhanced officer safety, and reduced officer and/or agency liability.
"Training time is a scarce resource in law enforcement and must be effectively utilized. This course discusses maximizing the use of training time and is critical to the successful outcome of our students in law enforcement contacts."
"Law enforcement officers of all types understand that day-to-day operations may take them into hostile environments at any time. In these critical moments, the situational awareness provided by thermal monoculars and binoculars can save lives."
Here's a look at four programs that offer high-quality training for free (or extremely low cost) to sworn officers.
The Law Enforcement Education Program (LEEP) at SHOT 2018 lets officers attend high-quality training sessions for $25. That fee allows any sworn officer in attendance at the SHOT Show (scheduled for Jan. 23–26 in Las Vegas) to take in as much LEEP training as they wish.
"Dynamics of Officer/Citizen Encounters" will cover how officers can effectively engage citizens in a professional manner without compromising their own safety.
On Thursday Jan. 25 during the Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade (SHOT) Show in Las Vegas, Condor will sponsor a community outreach class for law enforcement officers as part of the Law Enforcement Education Program (LEEP).
