Here is a paper I've co-written with my doctoral student Sean Leech in relation to his study examining a reality-based training firearms training program that's proposed to enhance policing students skills beyond the current traditional model. This paper provides a sample of initial results and demonstrates the program's ability to provoke and measure students' human threat response as a means of developing this response in order to function more effectively within critical incidents. In addition to assisting with firearm accuracy, the program aims to equip police with a broader ability to cope within and recover from critial policing incidents. https://lnkd.in/g-r2m6uz

If I could snap my fingers and make three-quarters of guns in the U.S. disappear, I would. There are just too many (more than one per person). On the other hand, this story clarifies that citizens with guns routinely stop criminals. I know of examples among my friends and family. What the article fails to also mention is that there are surely a larger number of crimes that are never initiated because criminals don’t want to take the risk that their potential victims may have a gun. No one knows how many crimes didn’t happen because Americans possess firearms. Also notable: people of color are vastly more likely to be be assaulted with firearms (mostly by other PoCs); most firearm deaths among whites are due to suicide. Interpret that as you may. https://lnkd.in/dgKxQe2p

UNYIELDING PROTECTORS: BATTLING SHADOWS AND DEFYING ODDS It is unjust and negligent to expect police officers to optimally perform their duties without access to dependable vehicles and an adequate supply of bulletproof vests, weapons, and radios.

It is imperative to promptly identify and address the underlying causes of these deficiencies. https://lnkd.in/d947bX44
