I think better training might help, but the problem isn't pre-job training, it's the training they get once they've been on the job. Surely, most average people's first instinct isn't approach any interaction with hand on weapons? I doubt that's due to lack of training. I think that's due to an entirely wrong sort of implicit and explicit training. Walking around with a gun + license to kill + fostering sense of us vs them for years will probably teach you that escalation and confrontation is the way to get people to back down. So that's what you do. By incentivizing them to take a second look at their assumptions, maybe we can make progress?
