Off-Duty Survival

Instructors: Sgt A  Kolombatovic

Even the hardest working officers spend most of their time off-duty, yet most of our departments spend little to no time training us and our families to survive without a vest, radio, patrol rifles and immediate backup. We will discuss communication, weapons, surveillance detection, maintaining your cover as a civilian, tactics with your family, and principles of when to be a witness and when to take action. The fact that more and more officers have become involved in violent encounters with their small children present and an increasing number of brave men and women murdered off-duty let to the creation of this class.
