I wear "Dark Blue".  You have to want that constant training beyond the academy to hone that muscle memory when things go to shit.....Not to mention the "winning attitude".  Me I just want to make it home to Momma and the baby every night
Stay Safe......  


Nunyun,

In reference to "Dark Blue"  How long were you considered a boot? and how many years did your FTO (P3 correct?) have in the streets before being considered for this vital training? I know that in the SO many FTOS have been in the streets for a short time themselves. Shouldn't an FTO have more than a few years in the streets?

I agree with your point regarding wanting to constantly train to keep prepared.  If you are involved in any special ops, constant training is the essence to successful field ops and survival. And of course, the "Winning Attitude" is what keeps you safe to go home to your family.

In regards to the LE training for your everyday patrol officer I have found the Firearms Training Systems to be the best training tool. Commonly known as FATS it is a live video screen which places you in life like situations; i.e. school shooting, armed subjects, and domestic disputes. 

A third party controls the reaction of the subject on screen and you actually fire your own simulated service weapon. There is also a machine that pans your movements and fires rubber bullets at you while responding to the situations. By far the best training I have ever had. Also gives you a video walk through of where your shots landed and which ones would be fatal hits.

Anxietyguy,

The FATS system is great technology! I just wonder how many departments utilize it. At the SO they have the laser village, But this seems far superior to that

Fred.

F.A.T.S. is a nice piece of equipment but only utilized at the academy and about once a year after that.  We have a "Combat Town" and shoot simunitions.  Video is nice but nothing gets your adrenaline running like the sting of the sims.

FTO's years ago were at times only on the road two years out from the academy but now I think you have to be out on the street for at least five years or so......how long a boot?  I still am........ 8)

Nunyun,

You will travel far with your work ethic. You already  seem very seasoned for your time in. I wish you continued success.
