Also, if you work for a department that is associated with a regional team, some of those run the class as well. But it wasn't the same for me. I preferred the STOP team class. |

Any asshole police department who teaches an unarmed police department on how respond to an active shooting are using you as experimental crash test dummies. Local and State police departments should be advocating the need for arm police on college and hospital campuses and should not be teaching you how to respond unarmed. The local and state pedophilia unions should suck up their insecurities and do whats right. Enough said!!! PS only here Assachusetts would a class like this be taught. |
| It's simple... they train them only in the narrow context of communications. In other words, the Armed P.D. uses the unarmed P.D. for intel and directions upon arrival. (If the indigenous campus guys are still alive and on the same net) Any way you look at it, you cannot deny that an unarmed P.D. is INEFFECTIVE to carry out current active shooter response doctrine. At the very least it's a tangible delay in response time. In a worst case scenario it's involuntary manslaughter. |

| Unarmed police officers?That is the stupidist thing I've ever heard of!How can you be a police officer and not be armed.What do you do when the suspect has a a gun or a knife? |
