FORCE
INSTRUCTOR: CHIEF STEVE JOHNSON
COST: $199
LENGTH: 1 day (7 hours)
LOCATION: Online Class
CATEGORIES: Tactics, Officer Survival
NOTES: The Legal Standard concerning an officer’s use of force is clear: The force is to be judged using a reasonable officer’s perspective and the totality of the circumstances, including the officer’s pre-force tactics and decision making. Although the law doesn’t allow for judgment with 20/20 hindsight… it shouldn’t stop officers, trainers, and supervisors from making it an obligatory practice to examine force events with that perspective. This course is designed to empower you with the tools to make the best decision possible, with the ultimate goal of avoiding force whenever safely and reasonably possible

Street Smart Communication for Rookie Officers
INSTRUCTOR: Ray Decunto
COST: $219
LENGTH: 1 day (8 hours)
LOCATION: Lansing, MI
CATEGORIES: Tactics, Crime Prevention
NOTES: Calibre’s goal is to fix this problem. We’ll help new officers gain that skill set by training them to communicate effectively during rapidly evolving encounters so they can make the best tactical decisions to reduce violence and increase officer and citizen safety. Our experienced instructors will analyze dozens of videos with citizen encounters, many that are rapidly evolving and involve unreasonable, agitated and violent individuals. We will help them understand that their immediate goal is to see past a person’s behavior and uncover their core need. The quicker this happens, the sooner they control, redirect and influence that person’s immediate behavior and accomplish their professional goal. This class offers invaluable skills for your officers to master how to read people, communicate effectively, deescalate conflicts and know when force is legal and necessary to ensure the best possible outcome for everyone involved.
