Have you ever wondered what a day in the life of a police officer looks like? This National Police Week, the National Command & Staff College is taking you behind the scenes to experience the everyday realities of those who serve and protect. Day watch starts early, meaning that officers have to have the discipline to retire early the night before, as they rise and shine before dawn. Once at work, they suit up and hit briefing before the streets. By the time most people wake up, they have deployed into the streets to begin their day. With every call is multiple decisions, balancing the spirit and the letter of the law. As the day ends, the day’s calls dictate their ultimate release; tragedy doesn’t follow a stopwatch. One chaotic day after the other awaits, each day never knowing what the day truly holds. 👇Engage with Us👇 Do you have questions? Post them in the comments or send us a DM!

Great analysis of data with largely inconclusive results. I find it interesting how hard we fight or debate over our preferred tactics, but many times it's really a wash on which tactic you choose. There can certainly be mitigating factors, however I prefer to teach our officers to understand the pros and cons of a tactic and exploit the positives while protecting against the negatives. Everyone has their preferences because they think their method is the best, but if you don't see the angles, over expose yourself, or aren't predictable for your team you'll die as quick as someone using poor tactics. Good short read.
