Street Survival teaches officers how and why both police officers and citizens die unnecessarily during police/citizen encounters. We do this by examining and discussing, for purposes of training officers now and in the future, lifestyle changes on and off the job. The course addresses two
specific subject matters:
“The Fatal Four” – We look at officer safety from the perspective of surviving emotionally and physically, not just while on duty, but over an entire career. The 24/7 reality of the job if you will. We specifically examine the four most common causes of fatalities for officers during a career:
1. Felonious Assaults
2. Vehicle/Traffic Related Incidents
3. Physical Conditioning (heart attacks)
4. Emotional Health (suicide)
The Impact of Stress – The primary cause of the above four is stress. In addition, the primary reasons police officers overreact, behave unprofessionally, and even use unnecessary force is because they have not been trained to recognize, prepare, and deal with true stress. Therefore, understanding the realities of stress and training successfully for dealing with it is the foundation of the two-day presentation. Whether dealing with the mundane calls, highly evolving and dangerous encounters or off-duty responsibilities, stress is always in play. So we discuss how to manage it in the following scenarios:
Presented over two days in a very dynamic format by highly experienced instructors, the seminar utilizes video, meaningful current statistics, case studies, and interesting personal experiences to impress upon attendees that their personal safety and career survival truly is up to them.
Topics we will cover include:
