Avoid Becoming the Victim of a Shooting or Other Violent Incidents

SURVIVAL COMMITMENT

AS A LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICER I AM AWARE THAT BEING INVOLVED IN A SHOOTING OR OTHER VIOLENT INCIDENT IS A REALISTIC POSSIBILITY. I WILL CONTINUALLY DEMONSTRATE MY COMMITMENT TO AVOID BECOMING THE VICTIM OF SUCH AN INCIDENT BECAUSE I WILL ALWAYS:

APPROACH ALL SUSPECTS ANTICIPATING A CONFRONTATION...REGARDLESS OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE A SUSPECT OR ADVERSARY.

THINK “COVER” AND CONSTANTLY BE AWARE OF ITS PRESENCE.

EVALUATE THE NEED TO APPROACH A SUSPECT OR SUSPECT LOCATION.

WATCH MY SUSPECTS HANDS.

MAINTAIN A SAFE PHYSICAL DISTANCE FROM MY SUSPECT.

HANDCUFF MY SUSPECTS.

HANDCUFF MY SUSPECTS BEHIND THEIR BACKS.

SEARCH SLOWLY AND THOROUGHLY.

WEAR MY BODY ARMOR DURING ENFORCEMENT OPERATIONS.

VALUE THE IMPORTANCE OF SHOOTING QUALIFICATIONS.

ANTICIPATE THE WORST AND BE PREPARED WITH A PLAN.

EFFECTIVELY USE MY FIREARM IN JUSTIFIABLE SITUATIONS.

I WILL ALWAYS SURVIVE THE STREET AND WILL WIN ANY VIOLENT CONFRONTATION!
