Human Factors Research Group (HFRG) has developed a Firearms Threat Pattern Recognition (TPR) program. The goal of this course is to enhance the speed of an officer recognition and response time by teaching the micro-movement threat indicators. The course focuses on biology-based response subsequent to time, distance and cover in life and death encounters with armed assailants. This course was designed from a TPR study that took 5 years to complete. The study has shown that assailant can move their weapon from the side of the leg and fire at a target in .37 second. Research has shown that officers are about .5 seconds behind the reality of what they encounter. Action is faster than reaction. An officer cannot outdraw the assailant. The study showed that 70% of officers killed in the line of duty are 10 feet or closer to the assailant. In 57% of the cases, the officer did not have time to draw their weapon. The study further showed by the officer making a simple movement, gives them time to evade, assess and engage the threat successfully. In making this simple movement and effective movement, the assailant has to re-think and re-redirect their assault causing them to miss vital areas of the officer’s body. The Firearms TPR study showed during a startled response firearms attack, all 58 officers who participated were wounded, with the officer accuracy rate of returning fire at 29.7%. After attending the Firearms TPR course, the officer’s first exposure to a startled response attack reduced the number of officers wounded to 31 out of 58, with an officer accuracy rate of 78.7%. After the third exposure the number of officers wounded was down to 1 out of the 58, with an officer returning fire accuracy of 93.8%. This course is to supplement and enhance existing department firearms programs. This course is not designed to replace agencies existing firearms courses. This course does not advocate a specific firearms shooting stance system. There will no live fire in this program. Course Objectives:

1. Identify the six assailant draws most often used during a fatal firefight. 2. Identify the lethal force micro-movement cues associated with each assailant lethal force draws. 3. Identify the visual pathways needed to enhance threat identification and precision engagement. 4. Identify the limitations of the visual pathways at six and ten feet. 5. Identify a simple tactical solution that will enhance an officer’s ability to evade, verify the nature of the threat and

engage with precision. 6. Identify a simple tactical solution designed to enhance an assailant to miss the target. 7. The course will address the micro-nuances of targeting vectors, the wobble effect and the challenges of precision

using a simple system of economic lasers that can be implemented during the training. EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR THE COURSE:

1. NO AMMUNITION IN THE CLASSROOM 2. Simmunition weapon or airsoft weapon NO AMMUNITION 3. Duty weapon if no other training weapon available 4. Smart phone with video capabilities or video camera

Helping good trainers

become Great Trainers

Excellence in Training: A Course in Advanced Tactical Mental Preparation

Strategies for Law Enforcement Trainers

The Excellence in Training Course has helped law enforcement trainers, across North America:

• Reduce remedial training hours with recruits and in-service officers. • Eliminate mental blocks hindering officer’s success with firearms

qualification, written exams and practical exams and scenario based training.

• Reduce attrition rates in recruit training programs. • Improve officers’ performance during reality based training. • Improve officers’ performance in the field. • Graduate confident and competent professionals from academy

training programs. • Improve shooting abilities of officers at all levels, literally overnight,

using techniques covered in this program.

This course is designed for academy and in-service instructors as well as Field Training Officers searching for:

• An innovative instructor development course developed by law enforcement trainers for law enforcement trainers.

• Simple and effective strategies for helping your officers maximize their potential and enhance their performance in the gym, the combatives room, the firearms range, the classroom and on the street.

• Proven system for conducting effective debriefings designed to improve performance by building competence and confidence.

• Innovative approaches to using videos in training. • Strategies for conducting confidence boosting context based training. • Powerful communication strategies proven to improve the

One of the greatest challenges for today’s law enforcement trainers is creating a training environment that inspires excellence and is most conducive to learning. Excellence in Training is a comprehensive, innovative instructor development course designed to address these issues by drawing on a variety of resources including:  

• Research from a variety of disciplines including leadership, psychology, and human performance.

• Lessons learned over 25 year of training law enforcement professionals across North America.

• The invaluable experience, knowledge and expertise brought to the program by the participants.

• Feedback from the hundreds of trainers that have already participated in the Excellence in Training course.

•

The focus of Excellence in Training is enhancing the performance of law enforcement officers by delivering training in a manner that permanently imprints the most desirable responses at the officer’s subconscious level and most effectively program them for success. In order to accomplish this, training must be meaningful, challenging, rewarding and build on the strengths and talents officers already possess. Excellence in Training provides trainers with simple, proven strategies for accomplishing this mission.

The principles and concepts taught in this program can be used with officers at any level of skill and service from recruits to veteran tactical operators, and at little or no cost to the organization.

This powerful course in human dynamics, and human performance covers the following areas:

The Mind: Roles Responsibilities and Programming

This component forms the foundation of the program and will explain how the mind works to process, store and retrieve information. It provides an in-depth understanding of the roles of the conscious and subconscious mind. Often, training programs are focused at the level of the conscious mind, and yet in spontaneous, rapidly evolving or high stress events it is the subconscious mind that determines an officer’s response. This program provides trainers with the tools to create the most desirable subconscious mental programs in their officers.

Performance Enhancement Imagery for Cops

Imagery is referred to by many names including visualization, guided imagery, and crisis rehearsal. Performance Enhancement Imagery is a simple, effective method of harnessing the tremendous power of the mind by focusing and directing the imagination. Performance Enhancement Imagery can be used by individual officers to train themselves, done one on one by a qualified trainer or conducted for groups of officers. The process has been proven to enhance all aspects of physical and mental performance in physical skills training, firearms, athletics or academics. Trainers attending this course will gain an in-depth understanding of what imagery is, how it works and why it is such a powerful performance enhancement tool. During this dynamic and interactive training trainers will learn simple, yet effective ways to incorporate imagery into any aspect of their training programs. This is one of the truly unique aspects of this program. For years law enforcement trainers have talked about the power of mental rehearsal, When / Then thinking and other forms of imagery, but few have ever been taught how to maximize the power of the mind through imagery.

Self Talk – Mastering the Internal Dialogue

It has been said that the most important conversations we will ever have are with ourselves, about ourselves, in the privacy of our own mind. It is important for officers to become aware of their self-talk, their internal dialogue,. That dialogue can be either positive and program an officer for success, or negative and program an officer for failure. Self talk plays a powerful role in establishing and reinforcing programs at the subconscious level. Once officers become aware of the importance of their self-talk they can audit it and learn to control it to ensure it is most desirable.

The Power of Words

The emphasis throughout this course will be the use of effective language proven to help program officers for success in the field. The power of language is often underestimated in a training environment. The subconscious mind however, processes information literally and so language can have a direct effect of an officer’s subconscious programming. Much of the language used in our everyday communication to recruits, other officers and family members is negative based and may create disastrous programming at the subconscious level. By implementing a few simple changes in the way in which they communicate trainers can have a huge impact of the performance of their officers.

Context Based Training

Every trainer has heard of stress inoculation training. This type of training goes by many names including stress acclimation training, reality based training, scenario based training and confrontation simulation training. Regardless of the name, the purpose behind the training is consistent – help officers perform better out in the field. Most agencies now realize the importance of this type of training as a component of a comprehensive training program. When conducted properly this training is an extremely effective method for ensuring the most desirable response from officers in the field by programming them to be calm, focused, in control and confident in a variety of situations. However, when conducted improperly the training can have the opposite effect and program officers to be fearful and either over react or under react in the field. This is what Ken Murray, the author of Training at the Speed of Life, refers to as unintended consequences of well intentioned training. Lt. Col. Dave Grossman addresses issues with stress inoculation training in his book On Combat and exhorts trainers to “never kill a warrior in training.” More recently the Force Science Research Center addressed this issue briefly in their newsletter:

"Among the popular training components FSRC researchers plan to examine are so-called "stress inoculation" exercises. "Many trainers believe this is helpful because it exposes officers to the 'realism' of the street,"

Lewinski observes. "But if this involves just heaping stress on trainees, it may not be as helpful as imagined. In fact, it can be counterproductive by instilling fear and anxiety.

"The idea is not to traumatize officers with stress but to skillfully guide them to develop the ability to focus on what's important to their survival during a stressful encounter. This, then, becomes a training method that enhances confidence and competence, so the officer emerges better prepared to defend his life and defeat a threatening adversary.

The Excellence in Training program addresses the importance of ‘context based training’ to address some of these critical issues and dispel misconceptions about this type of training. This component builds on all the other elements of the course and provides guidelines for more effective training.

Debriefings: Feed-Forward vs. Feedback

Debriefings following training scenarios or actual calls on the street provide the greatest real time learning opportunities for officers. Too often however, debriefings are focused on providing ‘feed-back’ on what went wrong. While this is well intentioned it can often have the reverse effect to the intended outcome. Focusing on what went wrong often reinforces those behaviors and programs at the subconscious level. This component of the course is focused on providing ‘feed-forward’ during debriefings. Feed Forward is a term taken from the field of positive psychology and is focused on communicating in a manner that will create the greatest possibility for positive behavioral changes in the future. The keys to ‘feed-forward’ debriefings are language and imagery, which will create and reinforce positive programs at the subconscious level.

Strengths Based Approach to Training

Trainers and supervisors are often conditioned to focus on students’ weaknesses. As a result a great deal of time and energy is spent working to correct these weaknesses. The strengths based approach to training acknowledges that areas of deficiency must be addressed but challenges trainers to discover the strengths and talents that every officer possesses and build on those areas. This switch in focus will result in a more positive learning environment for the participants and enhance their overall performance during training as well as out in the field.

Effective Use of Video in Training

Videos of actual events or recreations of actual events are an integral part of law enforcement training. If used in the most desirable manner these videos can help officers learn from the experience of others and help program a more desirable response when they are faced with a similar event in the future. Unfortunately many trainers are utilizing these videos in a manner, which may have the opposite effect on some officers. This section of the course addresses the most desirable manner in which to utilize videos to ensure the officers are programmed for successful outcomes.

♦ “This Course should be mandatory for every law enforcement trainer. “

Non-Destructive Entry for Police Personnel MCOLES 302 funding registered

Why use Non-Destructive Entry (NDE)? NDE offers an alternate option to a forced entry. Techniques such as lock picking can allow patrol officers, supervisors, command officers, detectives, surveillance/narcotic officers and special response/SWAT teams a covert and non-destructive entry method. NDE can be appropriate and helpful for welfare checks, community caretaker functions, suspicious circumstances, search warrants, a tactical option, or even a home lockout. Forced entry is the most expensive and least efficient method of entry, and is not always necessary. With forced entry, there are significant costs of repair or replacement of a smashed door, broken lock and split door frame, all of which costs several hundred dollars to well over $1,000, not to mention officer time waiting for board up or repair crews, litigation and loss of goodwill. BASIC COURSE: This 2-day course will introduce participants to the core basics of non-destructive entry, including lock-picking techniques, bumping, and bypass methods over a 2-day course with more than 200 locks. Participants will practice on residential and commercial locks, padlocks, deadbolts, knob locks, lever handled locks, and mortise cylinders. Professional lock picking set/other tools provided. October 19-20, 2015. Cost is $475.00. ADVANCED COURSE: This 2-day course is part two of the training that follows the basic course. Students need to have had the basic course or similar training, and will need to bring their professional pick set from the basic course. Advanced lock picking techniques and bypass are covered, along with less destructive locksmith based entry techniques. There are over 200 locks including tubular locks. Professional tools are provided. October 21-22, 2015. Cost is $475.00.
