Survival Tactics of First Responders at the ILEETA Conference

- Saturday, July 11, 2015

More than 700 LE experts gathered at the 10th anniversary conference of ILEETA to offer insight on limiting risk, mass murder responses and more! or by any mean a Survival Tactics.

Conference 10th Anniversary of law enforcement and educators Trainers Association (ILEETA) attracted over 700 police trainers from around the United States and other countries. It is an inspiration to us all a chance to "recharge our batteries" with the best and brightest in the profession. There is also a sad farewell: Shortly before the seminar, Sgt. Brian Stover died, just one day before departure at the expected retirement. A master instructor in various disciplines, Sgt. Stover has worked for the Department of the Los Angeles County Sheriff and do lots of good work for ILEETA, and before that to the American Society of Law Enforcement Trainers (ASLET).

Risk management

Since "The Job" often puts you in a "damned if you do, damned if you do not" position, ILEETA gives instructors the tools to explain the actions of their agents for the public and the courts. In an excellent presentation on the police / media relations, Rick Rosenthal told us to Case One, where a spokesman of the Ministry has done a perfect job to explain why officers did what they did. Later, when reporters say they do, the police and journalists chatted comfortably with law enforcement is now back in his chair with his feet on the table. The camera is still ongoing, however, and the TV channels showed him in a position with the voice of the previous piece on it. "It made him look too relaxed face serious problems," Rosenthal show. Lesson? You can never be sure what "folder."

Steve Ashley specialist risk management indicates that police instructors may be the best managers of risk of their organs. He cautioned that the forward-excited in the heat of the moment may come back to haunt the police and criminals, cites Second case. Here, the pursuit of a dangerous race ended with the suspect hanging bridge. It shocked him, losing his grip, falling short distance and was seriously injured. In a world turned on microphone, an officer reportedly said, "Look at that [expletive] down?" Another officer reportedly said, "An idiot on deck shot him with a Taser." All this contributes to the department involved in the subsequent trial.

More with less

Police training has been struggling with severe budget deficits "ammunition drought" hit. Many agencies report provided almost a year before they would be in the range of munitions Third case :. The federal agency says that the ammunition was in short supply as it is, it seems as if his agent will be only enough to qualify with in the coming year, not enough to really practice with Fourth case:. federal agents other organizations mentioned that it sought to reduce firearms qualification a quarter to three times a year.

"The entire panel of experts dedicated to meet the mass murderer in public places, with emphasis on the role of First Responders."

Many instructors are invited to dry drawing and drying time cooking, while others buy airsoft equipment for training purposes. Some recommended that instead of eliminating the training session when running out of ammunition, the time is used to emphasize the hand to hand and training weapons retention. Defensive tactics and firearms instructor Larry Hahn provides an excellent block on teaching the principle of action / reaction, and retention method with dummy weapons. He cited the case of Lima, where the camera dashboard recorded his deputy was shot in the face during a traffic stop "routine". Vice-low, and the attacker jumped out of the car and tried to shoot again, but his gun jammed. It pistol whipped police then tried to get the Glock clerk. Injured officer managed to keep his gun, then shot and took the fight to his opponent. Murderous purge attempts currently a 60-year The clerk survived and returned to work.

Bulk murder Answers

The whole group of experts dedicated to meet the mass murderer in public places, with emphasis on the role of First Responders. We remember Case Six, where Vice Justin Garner capable of shooting down a mass murderer in a retirement home, using a Glock .40 service pistol to drop the gun armed suspects in a range of 114 feet. And Case Seven, in which First Responders for mass murder on a US base is one bike patrol officer, Andy Brown. Under fire of a man with a drum-fed, semi-automatic AK-47 rifle at 70 yards, Brown is able to fatally shoot him and end the killing by his service Beretta 9mm pistol.

Many in the Panel noted that the current term "active shooter" bad explained the incident. "Active Killer" is the term preferred by the panelists Ron Borsch, who retired Police SWAT single protocol pioneers agent for First Responders aggressive hunt for the killer. We were told that the Department of Justice now uses the term "active threat" of the incident. No more than "fire" in itself was involved in all the attacks. As the host of the conference that founded, Case Eight held on a campus near Houston, Texas. Armed with a box cutter-type "razor", the author cut 14 victims. And none of us need to be reminded of the horrors of the Case New, September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks by some armed suspects cutters.

Legacy Continues

ILEETA Membership is open to people who are trained in / corrections / criminal justice community law enforcement. Visit ileeta.org sites to see remarkable breadth of the training offered. For example, each conference included several full instructor certification in a variety of disciplines and school assorted weapons factories. This column is barely touches the surface of a wealth of current information pursuant to law educators and Trainers Association has become famous in the world to give our LEO.

This article is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Sergeant Brian Stover of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department.

7 Reasons of Why Cops Choose the 9mm Over the .40

- Thursday, July 9, 2015

Less recoil, cheaper ammo, higher capacity — read on to learn why LEOs are going back to the 9mm!

Pistols chambered for the 9mm have less recoil and are generally easier to shoot, even smaller backup models like the Springfield Armory XD-S 9mm

The 9mm is having something of a renaissance these days. Although maligned in the past due to its inability to reliably deliver incapacitating force, recent technological developments in bullet and propellant design have move the round back to the forefront for many LE departments. With its lower costs, lighter recoil and now more capable on-target performance, the 9mm is a force with which to be reckoned.

Read on to learn some specifics on why.

More 9mm pistols on the market means more options for officers. The Heckler & Koch P30 is just one that is designed to fit a wide variety of users.

1. Shootability: While some shoot the .40 S&W well, some shoot of the 9mm less precision. Those who have problems using the .40 S & W 9mm almost always run a more accurately. This is true at any distance and even when repeated calls are necessary. Shot placement is the most critical factor in stopping the threat, and the 9mm does nothing but enhance this capacity.

Many 9mm pistols, like the Glock 19 Gen4, are known for being extremely reliable and have long service lives.

2. More Guns: These days, there are more available 9mm pistol from the other, allowing the police to get everything they need to complete their hand. Agencies have more options and agents can choose their favorite weapon (when the policy allows) - produce more practice on the beach and more confident on patrol. Most large companies have a 9mm pistol in a configuration for every taste.

CZ P-09 Duty holds 19 rounds of ammunition in the magazine, with the room. That's a lot of weapons.

3. Longevity: There is usually less wear on 9mm pistols. Some government agencies have been getting as much as 100,000 guns-round 9mm service life for years. They usually last longer, need fewer repairs and less prone to breakage.

9mms are known to be reliable, even in the gun platforms as short EMP Springfield Armory 1911.

4. Increased Capacity: Most 9mm duty pistols today have a standard capacity of 17 rounds. Their extended magazines can reach 20 rounds or more while remaining manageably sized. For a well-trained officer, the greater the capacity the better, and it is always better to have ammunition you didn’t use than need ammunition you don’t have.

There are too many 9mm loadings to count, but it doesn’t take much effort to find the right load for the job. Hornady’s Critical Duty loads are designed for optimum penetration through things like heavy clothing.

5. Reliability: Pistols chambered in 9mm are generally the most reliable pistols available in those configurations most popular at police agencies. They’re also less susceptible to changes in duty ammunition and can reliably function with both practice and duty ammunition.

There are too many 9mm loadings to count, but it doesn’t take much effort to find the right load for the job. Hornady’s Critical Duty loads are designed for optimum penetration through things like heavy clothing.

6. Ammo Choices: Given the explosion in popularity of the 9mm for police and self-defense use, there is a huge variety of duty ammunition available. Whether it is a 115-grain + P at significant velocity or a 147-grain bullet at lower speeds, a quality and proven 9mm duty round is out there. It is easy to find a round that will meet the needs of your patrol division and tactical team.

Typically, 9mm ammunition is cheaper than other offerings, so officers can get more training time in with less money.

7. Cost: Especially when purchased in bulk, 9mm ammunition can be significantly less expensive. It is not uncommon to see thousands of dollars in savings at the agency level. That same lower cost also encourages officers to practice on their own as well.

5 Real-Life Cases of How Proper Evidence Collection Prevailed

- Wednesday, July 8, 2015

In 2014, no officer-involved use of force rocked the nation more than the shooting death of Michael Brown at the hands of Ferguson, Missouri, Police Officer Darren Wilson.

It affects every cop in America, by the way, but no more than General Wilson encircle itself. We all know now
that in this incident, which we will call for educational purposes Case One, the first contact with the two strong increases robbery suspect when the suspect, Brown, violently attacked the officer and tried to disarm him. Stuck in the front seat of a patrol car, Wilson must "pull out a gun." Brown ran, Agent Wilson continued, and when Brown then jump back to the dealer to take his gun, Wilson fired and killed him. We all know what happened after that.
Why the jury, after reviewing all the evidence, decided not to prosecute the police for a crime? Because the evidence confirmed the account he was responsible for the investigation soon after. Why is that the evidence is still there, the shooting scene quickly became the center of a major disruption of civil? Because the first police officer responded to this shooting involved doing the best they can to preserve important evidence. The young Mr Brown was pronounced dead at the scene, and while many later complained that his body was left where he fell too long, at the end of which is essential to enable researchers scene perform careful measurements to determine exactly what happened. Ironically, if the angry mob is not broken, these measurements and photographs can be taken early, and the body moves much earlier. The purpose of servicing the needs of justice in the investigation of truth, must always prevail over the pain of those who do not understand the task and the law.
Record The Truth

LEO When you first arrive on the scene, you have a lot of responsibility and it is clearly a priority. First, of course, is security, you, that fellow officers and innocent that may be on the scene. If criminals are present, must be contained and controlled. Low gather evidence on the priority list saving function.
But once that things are under control, gathering evidence is important. Consider the case of two, Iowa. No witnesses were present when the author was ambushed officer who was writing a report in a parked patrol car. The attacker falls through the window and grabbed the driver by the throat with one hand and a pistol from the holster with the other, shouting that he would kill her. Officers had to shoot the attacker, who was paralyzed for life by a shot fired, then claimed that the officer out of the patrol car and "shot him for nothing."
Fortunately, one of the first officers who responded to the shooting scene confiscated the camera of the patrol car and photographed rosette pass where the subject officer had been ripped by strangulation attempt. This criticism is to get the number of the police defense verdict, the first when the officers found a criminal on shooting, and again in civil court when he and his department have been prosecuted.
I was retained as an expert witness in two cases, and also in the following two cases, which shows the importance of collecting initial evidence to reach a fair result which does not happen in the case involving the LEO. Three cases occurred in Tennessee, photographs of female shooter punch wounds he received from her ex-husband was taken by the first officer to respond, and they are important for the liberation of his win on the basis of defending himself when he tried to murder.
In the case of four in West Virginia, close-up spent casings retrieved at the scene of a plan by the staff of the police state is an important factor in a murder trial in which the prosecution has allowed five first shots were fired in self-defense, but the latter two would murder after the execution of attacker run 40 feet and collapse. Shell casing damage has shown that the two latter issued casing was apparently taken on the set in the palm of booting notched or stretcher tires meet emergency personnel and dislodged near where the body was found. Once the evidence has been explained, the result only exemption in the shooting self-defense, not an unfair sentence that will be mandated "life without parole."
From the back a century or more of history, we find examples where attention first agent to respond to the details in a scene in a locked murder conviction for the real killer. In the case of Lima, the famous bandit of the Far West is Elfego Read Sheriff Socorro County, New Mexico, where the murder scene, he ordered an MP for human waste found nearby and put the product in cans. Later, he met with a suspect who is so nervous he had to rest for emergency saddle. Sheriff Read has a representative, except that the "evidence" on the other cans. A unique model of equivalent kind of chili beans evidence and help bring a killer to justice.

Serving Justice
Most people today, including LEO, making regular smartphone that can capture images and video. Once the scene is contained, consider a quick video scan this scene. The camera can only capture later determined to be important evidence that gets moved or lost in the hubbub of paramedics and other first responders. May also catch a witness who left the scene so that they can be contacted and then fill in the missing piece of the puzzle of evidence. (If liar false witnesses then appeared to testify against a policeman who shot in self-defense, the video can also allow police to lawyers say, "If you really there all the time, why do not appear in the 360 ​​-degree panoramic video was taken when You say that you are there? ")
Photographing each involved (or other parties active in the shot) official from head to toe. Dirt or snow or leaves behind a uniform officer can be brushed from the time they leave the scene and when they get to the police station for interrogation, and can prove that they were on the floor in the struggle for their life if captured by photography. Anyone who has been fighting should be examined for at least 48 hours for the bruises that appeared later, which should be recorded photography. It can mean the difference between truth and falsehood in force is regarded as truth.
Very often, the truth is the same as justice. But the evidence necessary to support the truth, and the evidence is very durable, which is why the collection of evidence must be in the list of requirements for first officers to respond.

5 Types of Multiple Targeted Attacks

- Thursday, July 2, 2015

Tactics to halt multiple attackers before they cause mass-casualty disasters!

Here an officer provides cover, prepared to use lethal force, as his partner apprehends the suspect. Proper training, suitable weapons and essential gear are all critical in counterterrorist operations.

this is first post of Max Guns Issues , we officially pronounce Max Guns Issues and hail so much site of Max Guns Issues. MGI is a news site for military and defense program by USA or United States of America Army.

You half way to follow your busy tour of night work, patrolling in large cities, when a police radio began to ring out with the job priority: "All the cars stopped. There are reports of society, there are several armed men fired into the passenger platform railway station City Center. Many calls. There is no description of the gunmen at the moment. "

Events like this make overwhelmed first responders in Mumbai, India, where back in November 2008. The Mumbai, India's largest city and financial center of the country, was attacked by members of the LET (Lashkar-e-tayyba, or Urdu for "army of the righteous") , a group of supporters of jihad from Pakistan. LET ten heavily armed attackers, separated into several different teams, simultaneously attacked various locations around Mumbai with explosives, assault rifles and grenades while communicating with their handlers in Pakistan through mobile phones. The leaders of terrorist operations unfold LET witnessed burning in the international cable news during the three-day attack and directing the attackers to perform actions in a different location. In the end, LET has attacked a nightclub and a few elegant hotel frequented by Westerners, the train station, Jewish community centers and hospitals: 164 innocent lives were taken, and more than 300 wounded. It is the Indian version 9/11, only less plane that crashed into the building.

First responders rather than across the country, especially the police, since a long time have started to prepare and train their members to the possibilities of "multi-targeted attacks" (MTA), also referred to as "multi-strike capability counterterrorism actions" (MACTAC) events. And given the nature of our times, it's a pretty good reason. Police always work and the topic of terror never separate enough for me when I started my career in law enforcement. I was just a young recruit in the academy when two of the well-known terrorist operations against most of the 1990s occurred. One occurs in the most unthinkable of location, the heart of America.

Police agencies still always have to consider what types of attacks that can occur within their jurisdiction and any location which is very susceptible (or considered targeted by terrorists) to attack. They are at the present time must recognize not only the potential for some possibility of an attack in the area but also a coordinated campaign targeted killings spread in the town or city.

Mode Of Attack

There are many categories of events that terrorists could use them. Here there are only five different modes of attack that has historically proven to occur worldwide. Ofdecimation attack with the purpose is to kill or injure innocent people as possible, using a sniper rifle or grenade bombers. Perpetrators of terror usually always choose the target rich environment (the location of which was infested with many people), usually in a soft-target site (a non-fortified or defended). The terrorists LET had this goal in mind when they spray the Russian machine-gun fire to hundreds of passengers at the railway station of Mumbai. Officers always have to be aware of the location of the target rich where they patrol, or especially those events that bring large groups of people together in a location that soft targets.

The second is a parallel device attacks, carried out by some explosive device detonated simultaneously or near simultaneously in the same location. The idea is to have several bombs detonated simultaneously to maximize casualties, while having a backup device is ready for every bomb defect or to create more confusion and chaos. 2004 Madrid train bombings by al-Qaeda terror cell inspired action, in which four separate trains were attacked by high explosives, is one example. The attack killed 191 people and injured 1,800.

Another threat to be considered, especially for police, fire and EMS respondents, is the prospect of a secondary device attacks. This could be a second IED, timed to go off when first responders arrive at a site of the initial bombing. It can be placed where the terrorists believe staging area, a triage area or command post will be set up. American terrorist Eric Rudolph and his Army of God used secondary devices on several occasions. One secondary devices used by Rudolph in 1997 at an abortion clinic in Georgia. About an hour after the first IED exploded, the second detonated. Miraculously, no one was hurt seriously. There is no doubt that the target is intended for secondary devices: first responders.

A mass hostage siege involves taking a large number of hostages, ideally in soft-target locations, with the goal of eventually kill the victim, get the terrorist demands are met or buying time for other purposes. Chechen terrorists is well known for large-scale hostage siege. They have taken over a Moscow theater and several hospitals, each with hundreds of people were arrested, but by far the most heinous was the takeover of the Beslan school in southern Russia in September 2004. For a few days, close to 1,200 hostages detained by approximately 50 terrorists with guns. Explosives used to trap the place. This terrible siege ended after entering bold and shootout with Russian special forces, which resulted in the loss of more than 300 hostages, most of whom are children of primary school.

Lastly, there are some scattered attacks, which involved simultaneous attacks in different locations. These few incidents are part of the same overall operation, using some or all of these methods. This collective attack will have a greater effect and impact of the amount of just one individual incident or operation by terror groups. LET attacks across Mumbai are of this nature. We can also add this category dark day in September 2001, when al-Qaeda hijacked four commercial airliners large total, the fuel is fully charged, to carry out deadly attacks against the people did not suspect us.

As an instructor for a large metropolitan police department, I had the opportunity to work in our country a lesson committee, which discussed the subject MTA response tactics. There are some weapons in the recommendation for patrol officers to respond to the suit, and certain equipment highlighted: specific requirements for long guns (M16 or carbine variant, using ammunition NATO / military rounds), following the recommended use of go-fast bag that officers could sling on the contained such needs extra magazine for a rifle and a pistol, first aid kit, flex cuffs, a pair of binoculars, water and so on. Also suggest that do not violate the protective headgear of tools and equipment such as helmets, NIJ Level III vest thick, ceramic ballistic shields and protective eye wear military.

Unfortunately, the terrorist use of MTA predicted to be the wave of the future, and the police should be aware of the threats and prepare accordingly.
