Officer Survival: High Risk Patrol Tactics

[@oldcop18]

I retired in ‘97 after 30 years, and three officer involved shootings, and nothing much has changed when it comes to this kind of training. We always prepared for the worst and hoped for the best. That said I lost seven colleagues, two of them shot right in front of me. To all my brother & sister officers, stay safe.

Thanks, sir. Enjoy your well earned retirement. I hope to get there one day.

In Los Angeles , Officer safety and survival is a large portion of Academy Training . There are so many aspects to this subject that it is on going during the entire career of an officer. Now in this new century , with all the terrorism and advanced weapons the subject is even larger and more diverse in it's attempt to keep Police Officer Safe and alive as they do the endless job of patrolling the streets of a large urban city . So many aspects are the same and so much is new and fresh. Having been involved in over 7 OIS in my time , the thing most important in my estimation is in the accuracy of your return fire to an active armed shooter . If you hit your target and don't miss , the incident is over quickly. If you can't or don't hit your target , then the shooter has another chance to kill you. You must master the art of hitting the target that you are firing at This is tantamount above everything else. All the cover and tactics and weapons and all the other aspects of survival , all come into play until you hit the target with your gunfire . The rest is just extra crap. Hit the target and neutralize the susp. So , I encourage all officers to perfect their shooting accuracy and ability. This is what will save lives . Nothing else .

I still can't believe police were limited to using .38 Cal revolvers, without a single action capability.

I'm not a cop but my Father was LASD from 1968 to 2003 working out of Lennix and Malibu Stations. Sorry for your loss and thank you for your service. Mike

Apparently Wally isn’t a fan of sandwiches. But at least one cop is into yoga 😂

Watching this makes me realize very little changes, these shootouts are a lot more common then we are led to believe.

[@EddieLeal]

Especially as of late. People have lost their minds.

Negotiator- "Wally you hungry?" Wally- "No I'm not hungry" Negotiator- "Want a sandwich?" 😂 Wally- "I don't want a fucking sandwich beisndmksbdjoenenegayhwb"

I'd guess this was made around 1978 or 1979 as those Riverside Police cars are 1978 Dodge Monacos and Plymouth Furys.

[@mwbright]

The hands down best police cars, that I loved when I was a kid, was the AMC Matador and the Plymouth Satellite. Dodge Charger made a 'police package' too, but they didn't sell too many.

What the heck was going on with that last scene? That was really creepy.

that ladder climb was so smooth

These are great vids.

[@lifeisamatrix5960]

This was taken from a real scenerio base. The real base scenario the suspect was killed. 2 officers were injured I believe.

[@ChristopherLuongo]

What was the real incident?

Eventually, they'll just push a button, your neural implant will explode, and off to the Soylent Green facility for you. This looks quaint on 16mm 😄

[@Docsjeff]

I would take a JC Higgins S/S .22 rifle over that M1Carbine.The most inaccurate rifle ever designed. There’s about a 5% chance that he may accidentally hit his target.🤣
