Book Description
Despite the importance of proper firearm handling and usage in law enforcement, few resources are currently available to update firearm instructors on proper teaching methods. Budget restraints and many other challenges now require that instructors be as resourceful as they are knowledgeable when teaching firearm use and safety. With more than 150 photographs to help define and resolve training issues, Police Firearms Instruction: Problems and Practices provides succinct, yet comprehensive guidance in all aspects of firearms training. Employing a hands-on approach with an emphasis on safety, retired sheriff’s deputy Richard Grassi teaches instructors how to properly equip and prepare officers both mentally and physically for the use of a firearm and the consequences. Using a direct, conversational style, Mr. Grassi employs helpful anecdotes and war stories to demonstrate how to convey important ideas to trainees. He reviews such teaching fundamentals as how to communicate with a class, and how to handle challenging students. With examples from the field, he discusses safety issues and qualification controversies, and explains the value of simulations and repetitive skills practice. He also examines ways to match individual officers with the correct firearm. Teaches instructors how to explain preparation, tactical issues, and safe handling, as well as post-incident protocol Cognizant of the limited funding available for firearm training, Mr. Grassi explores ways for agencies to maximize training on a small budget. Additional coverage includes an insightful profile of the “fighting mind” and other officer issues, such as use-of-force investigations and dealing with the loss of a colleague. Every law enforcement agency, firearms instructor, and instructor trainee should have this manual on hand to ensure that officers are well-equipped with the tactical firearms knowledge necessary to serve the public and protect themselves.

Book Description
For too many years, police firearms training programs have been designed based primarily upon the influence of outside sources: the military, civilian target and competition shooters, and some of the self-proclaimed ?gun gurus? who often have a personal and financial stake in promoting their own style of pistolcraft. Now, for the first time, a firearms training program built specifically to meet the unique needs of the modern law enforcement officer has been developed. The New Paradigm Program is designed to help ensure that our police officers are as well prepared as possible?mentally, physically, and emotionally?to employ their duty pistols safely, efficiently, and effectively when the need arises.In POLICE PISTOLCRAFT you will learn: ? Why the majority of police firearms training programs in use today do not satisfy the legal, moral, and ethical requirements that the courts have identified and professionalism demands. ? How the successful ?New Paradigm? Police Firearms Training Program was developed and implemented specifically to satisfy these requirements as well as ensure the greatest chances of officer survival.? About the unique experiment that produced the program as well as detailed information documenting the positive results seen to date.? How to easily create a New Paradigm-based firearms training program for your own department, agency, or unit.

Book Description
This book challenges what are, for many people, deep-rooted expectations regarding the routine arming of police and compares jurisdictions in which police are routinely armed (Toronto, Canada and Brisbane, Australia) and those where police are not routinely armed (Manchester, England and Auckland, New Zealand). With a focus on Western jurisdictions and by examining a range of documentary, media and data sources, this book provides an evidence-based examination of the question: Do police really need guns? This book first provides detailed insight into the armed policing tradition and perceptions/expectations with respect to police and firearms. A range of theoretical concepts regarding policing, state power and the use of force is applied to an examination of what makes the police powerful. This is set against the minimum force tradition, which is typified by policing in England and Wales. Consideration is also given to the role played by key tropes and constructs of popular culture. Drawing on Surette’s model of symbolic reality, the book considers contrasting media traditions and the positioning of firearms within narrative arcs, especially the role of heroes. The book concludes by drawing together the key themes and findings, and considering the viability of retaining and/or moving towards non-routinely armed police.
