His hands shake slightly and the sweat is real. Furthermore, other court cases determined that budgetary restrictions are no excuse for not implementing the training. Since police departments in Wayne County can't afford to own a FATS they rent one. The only way we can afford this is to pool our resources with other area departments. Then we can have the FATS up and running 24 hours a day for as long as our rental period.
Officers can come in any time to train.
It's good that we can help each other out, not only to afford the training, but to increase communication and teamwork between different departments in the area. Mark Barrows of Galileo Training Systems, who comes from a military background, and his wife who has a law-enforcement background, saw the need smaller departments have for FATS and invested in one of the systems. Galileo mainly covers the State of Ohio. We service around 200 different departments. We have a Sig Sauer P226 and a Glock 17 that have been modified to attach to a CO2 compressor that operates the slide and simulates about 80 percent of the recoil of a 9mm pistol.
