Welcome to the How We Train Matters as Much as What We Train: Teaching Use of Force Decision Making training course. How you present and share information during training is just as important as the material you are training. This course will discuss training methods and techniques to build better use of force decision makers. Our goal is training new officers to retain, retrieve and transfer their knowledge to perform sound decision making in use of force situations where time is of the essence.
This course will also focus on areas including:
- Effective training methods for decision-making under pressure
- Enhancing knowledge retention, retrieval, and transfer
- Developing confident, well-prepared use of force decision makers
Our training experts recommend this course for all officers, ranks, and command staff.
