Approach: People
Law enforcement can be a dangerous profession and survival is often predicated on proper preparation and survival tactics. Where many officers go wrong is that they assume a call is inconsequential and approach on auto pilot thereby disregarding their survival mindset. This course focuses on maintaining that survival mindset when approaching potentially dangerous people by emphasizing safe approaches, legal justifications to approach, and approach priority.
Numerous case studies, scientific research, statistics, and an array of videos of real-life encounters are utilized to offer training scenarios that assist in identifying potentially dangerous approaches and how planning can help you when dealing with a dangerous suspect.
This course provides an overview of the proper way to approach people by considering the totality of the situation and your safety. It aims to provide a better understanding of the when/then mentality, the three legal justifications for approaching people, approach priority, and the duties and responsibilities of the contact and cover officers.
