The reality of use of force training is that the best physical and legal defense is logical training and subsequent supervision. These qualities serve to defend the agency, the trainer, and the practitioner. However, while trainers can decrease the probability of paralyzing confusion and gross error, officers may choose to act inappropriately. Supervisors may fail to supervise and coordinate. In these cases, the interests of the agency and the officer may differ.
All training is the responsibility of the agency.
Therefore, it is prudent to secure the best provider. Our system includes all components necessary to initiate our physical control procedures, including overcoming the barriers that usually keep training from actually being used on the job. Even if the training is valid and the instructors competent, the training may not transfer into appropriate use. This problem is predictable. It is also solvable.
