Training Tactics, How Do They Work?

The police are there to protect us and keep us safe. That is why police have policies on training that protect against police brutality and false arrest / false imprisonment. When those policies are violated or civilians (such as security guards and shop owners) act as police, the result may be false arrest or false imprisonment. If you have been falsly arrested, fill out this simple form for a FREE false arrest case evaluation.

Individuals who conduct recruit training, serve as field training officers, or who conduct in-service training should be selected using heightened eligibility criteria that specially apply to these jobs.

The following subjects should be covered in recruit training and recurrently in in-service training: cultural diversity; communication skills, including the importance of courtesy and respect; cultural sensitivity; verbal disengagement techniques and alternatives to use of force; and integrity and ethics. Officers should also receive training on the proper procedures and conduct of high-speed chases, including the appropriate procedure for initiating and terminating such actions. Scenario-based training is an effective way to communicate the subjects covered, and should be encouraged.

Specialized training should be provided to supervisors, officers advancing in rank, and officers newly assigned to a unit that has specialized responsibilities or newly assigned to do specialized work within their existing unit.

Law enforcement officers should receive training regarding interaction with persons with disabilities, especially persons with mental illness, to minimize incidents where unexpected actions are misconstrued as suspicious or illegal activity or uncooperative behavior.
