09H 00min
With the FBI UCR data putting the approx. number of officers assaulted per year reaching 50+ thousand with approximately 15% committed with knives, 10% with guns and over 20% with other dangerous weapons, we as trainers have failed at providing the tools for our law enforcement to effectively mitigate such encounters. This alone, is why I created the Contact Threat Mitigation™ course. This course has reevaluated the outdated tactics academies are still teaching by doing a 180 and using force against force instead moving away from your threat which inevitably sets the officer or armed civilian up for failure.
