 TOPIC:     
 
 During the past few years, there has been
 an emerging trend in felonious officer
 deaths as a result of ambush confrontations with
 armed individuals. From Dallas to Philly, Florida to
 New York, law enforcement officers face the threat
 of someone opening fire as they arrive at a call or
 when they are sitting in the patrol car writing a
 report. Not every law enforcement encounter
 involves an officer involved shooting and no officer
 is totally immune to ambushes. Officer must train
 to be alert and sharpen their situational awareness
 skills on and off duty. With the increasing
 proportion of police murders being classified as ambushes, education must include skills developed from lessons learned in the field. Officers must be prepared for the unexpected.


There are generally four factors that define an ambush assault:

  • The element of surprise
  • Concealment of the assailant, their intentions or weapons
  • The suddenness of the attack
  • A lack of provocation

     
This one-day class offers the following:

  • A brief look at the history of ambush attacks on law enforcement.
  • A review of definitions, classifications and types of ambush attacks.
  • A review of current data provided by the Department of Justice COPS Program and IACP.
  • A review of ambush attack cases on law enforcement officers.
  • The Importance of Developing Situational Awareness Skills.
  • The effective use of cover and the dangers associated with arriving at a scene, approaching a stopped car, parking to take a break, fueling up your car and entering and exiting the police station.
  • The importance of your distance and the speed you approach each call.
  • The importance of hands-on training: Beginning at the academy and throughout an officer's career.
  • Preparing for the aftermath: Dealing with the mental and physical toll on the mind and body.
  • Learning to develop a mindset of survival and the will to win. Safety is Job One!
