I’m retired military and police law enforcement. I’m certified to teach firearms and use of force up to and including deadly force in both the military and civilian sectors. I’ve taught civilian, military and legal professionals in the field of the lawful use of deadly force. I currently work and teach at a local gun range near my hometown.

As an ex law enforcement officer it pissed me off how little people trained deescalation tactics, jiu jitsu or something similar. Most guys would shoot because it’s “manly” but any hands on stuff they think their big bad badge protects them and they don’t need to train.
You look how sloppy use of forces are and how many unnecessary injuries and workers comp claims come because of this it’s pathetic.
But how do you mandate people train on their own time, or fund training, or justify daily, weekly, monthly training budget to the city or county, it’s really an impossibly scenario.
What do you think the answer is? Sorry for the paragraph this is kind of a sore subject for me.
