If this replicates other posts on here I apologize, I dont peruse the forum much...
What other training would you all recommend other than firearms training? I was a reserve LEO for a couple of years and I remember talking with some of the trainers in the department and they pointed out that as much as they loved firearms training statistically more LEO lives could likely be saved through vehicle operator training and that is high intensity emergency vehicle operators training but basic "dont get in an accident" training.
First Aid wise I am an Eagle Scout and in the military (Combat Life Saver and TCCC trained),but I realized after 10 years of marriage that my wife didnt know the Heimlich maneuver. It rattled me a bit, she likes to shoot and has taken more than one two day pistol class and a bunch of Appleseeds but I completely missed that. Since then I have gotten her into the Red Cross' Adult and Pediatric CPR/AED Course and Basic First Aid. Ultimately I would like to get her into a TCCC type course as well.
The next project will be a course from a company called Master Drive ( http://masterdrive.com/ ) for both the wife and myself that is not a high speed combat driving course but is more like a driver's ed / driver's improvement course but with HEAVY actual driving component. You go out with the instructor on a closed course and they put you in skids and such over and over to really work that and other fundamental dont get in an accident skills.
So what else? Hand to hand? Counter-surveillance? Good Force on Force Courses?
