Yesterday I had an opportunity to help as a
role-player for the training of two new police officers. Once again, I got to
play the bad guy and ended up being cuffed although I tried to talk my way out
of it. The new officers go through many weeks of class training, but it’s the “hands
on” exercises that really help solidify what they’ve learned. They can study
all day, but when a suspect with blood on his hand tries to say he’s only a
refrigerator repairman while a woman is screaming in the bathroom, that’s when
they have to take action. The trainers critiqued what they did. The new
officers will remember the mistakes they made and not repeat them. And as a
by-product, I learned a heck of a lot as well
