“Lack of a Confidence in Your Non-Lethal Use of Force Skills
Makes You a Liability – NOT an Asset!”

When a situation goes south….officers make mistakes because they are poorly trained in these non-lethal tactics. Because of this you are MORE LIKELY to go to deadly force too soon – but it’s not your  fault… you were TRAINED to do it. After the academy, most officers rarely practice non-lethal use of force skills. The training focus is usually on qualifying with your firearm or getting certified on a new piece of equipment, while your non-lethal skills are largely ignored.

This creates a condition that forces you you “go to the gun belt” too soon. When your Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) is activated you will fall back on what you’re most comfortable with, and if your primary focus on is using your firearm – that’s exactly what you’re going to do.

Like the old saying goes – “If all you had was a hammer, everything in the world would look like a nail.”

A poorly trained officer is a liability.

“Most officers don’t shoot out of hatred, they shoot because they’re afraid.” – Seth Stoughton – The Atlantic Article “How Police Training Contributes to Avoidable Deaths”

This lack of confidence when interacting with the public has cost municipalities and security companies millions in law suits because officers lack confidence in their interpersonal violence skill set. Poorly trained officers are more likely to escalate use of force too quickly because they’re in fear for their own safety.

Plus, the phycological damage and stress on the officers and their loved ones, can’t be calculated because the vast majority of these officers are good people who want to protect and serve, not injure and kill. 

Without the correct continued training in non-lethal use of force, every day you’re losing confidence in your ability to do your job and increasing your chances of doing something, that, deep down – you want to avoid. 

The Police Training Pack is the only practical way to maintain your non-lethal skills because it can be accessed from anywhere, on any device as often as you wish. The tactics and techniques are simple, easy to master in a short amount of time with minimal practice. So over time you can develop and maintain these critical, life saving skills. 

Thank you for stopping by and I’ll see you on the inside.
