Stronger Police Training Stronger Trust

MMA fighter, police officer and defensive tactics instructor, joins me to discuss undertrained police officers and the need for stronger police training.  Calls to "defund the police" often overlook a deeper issue-our officers are undertrained for the realities of the job.  In this episode, we explore why reducing resources isn't the answer, and why raising minimum training standards is the real solution.  We discuss the dangers of over-reliance on tools like Tasers and firearms, the critical role of stress inoculation training and how better preparation leads to safer outcomes for officers and the communities they serve.
