In this Tactical Tips police training video, Duane Wolfe and Lee Shaykhet, review segmented training in law enforcement. They discuss how police academies often teach the use of equipment like handcuffs, batons, TASERs and OC spray in isolation, without integrating these tools into a cohesive response strategy. Duane highlights the dangers of officers relying solely on one tool without considering its effectiveness in real-time situations, leading to potential failure and risking officer safety.
Duane’s key message is to never expect any tool to be 100% effective and to always have alternative strategies ready, thereby combining various training segments into a fluid, comprehensive system.
