First, apologies to Gabriel Garcia Marquez.
Just had a meeting at work on what we are going to do for the quarterly tactics and defensive tactics day.
Trying to minimize physical contact while still conducting required training. Strikes and ground escapes and weapons retention are probably out due to the contact involved.,
We may try to do some handcuffing and removal of subjects from vehicles using a weighted dummy. Figure we could wipe the dummy down with Clorox wipes in between iterations.
We did a basic tactics /structure clear refresher Last quarter and we’re planning to do the same thing but with force on force this quarter. The problem with force on force being having people share protective gear especially the force on force masks. May do the same thing with semi nations but shooting at “bob” strike torsos. That way Officer can just bring their own clear eye pro.
For those who still need to conduct firearms and use of force training how are you adapting modifying etc. to minimize contact?
