    Officer Involved: A Documentary

    Anybody heard of this? I've watched his videos and he has a female, Alexis Artwohl, who is associated with Force Science in it. He is from the Atlanta, GA area I think and is a LEO.

    Down the road from Quantrill's big raid.
    Just an FYI;
    Dr. Artwohl is kinda retired from being the lead head shrinker at Portland PD. IMHO she is one of the very best minds in her field. Much of what we know about what happens during OISs/critical incidents/etc. comes from her research. A lot of what ya'll would have read over the years about how to train for a gunfight from guys like Mas Ayoob is information she researched over her career. If Alexis is involved the effort is going to be top-notch. She is a no bullshit kind of person.

    That meme in the link above? She really did say that, I was sitting in one of her classes when she did it. It's an accurate quote on what she thinks about mindset and what coppers (and armed citizens since they are also good guys/gals) should strive for in training.

    And for those that might not know, her book with Loren Christensen, "Deadly Force Encounters", is a must read for anyone that carries a gun or is wanting to study what happens to humans under stress of a critical incident.

    This.

    Loren is an aquaintence, and I have a tremendous amount of respect for him. He is also one hell of a funny guy.

    There's probably no way of counting how many lives, careers, and marriages Dr. Artwohl has saved.

    Dr. Artwohl is definitely legit. Looks to be a solid, worthwhile project - I can see a lot of benefit coming from it.

    Just spoke to P.W. Shaver (filmmaker) on the phone. This is going to be an awesome and worthwhile project with great insight to what happens post-shooting.
