The most import thing that is not taught is deescalation.
It is vital for Police to take control of a situation but instead they general yell and shout increasing the tension between parties turning a controllable situation into chaos.
Many people to not respond well to threats and shouting.
- Datenstrom 8y agoMy training required shouting in all of the drills. The reasoning that was given was that it was required to make sure any and all bystanders and recording devices heard you clearly so there would be evidence that you followed procedure and that they did not follow commands. Perhaps this is now outdated with the introduction of body cams but I would bet it is still taught that way.
- maxxxxx 8y agoA while ago my car got hit by car that had run a red light. It was a huge impact without any warning and I was pretty shaken (probably a concussion). When a cop asked me for my license I couldn't really compute this request and gave him random stuff from my wallet. He started shouting "Sir, show me your license" which I understood even less and kept giving him credit cards and library cards . Thank God another cop came by and pointed calmly to the thing in my wallet they wanted to see. I can't even imagine how confused I would be if I had people yelling at me while I am in the shower.
