Can’t wait to play around with @larryperreira, @uof.bpd and crew next week! Mahalo @clu7ch79 for the invite and showing us what you guys came up with ?????⚫️?⚫️? Posted @withrepost • @bellevuewapolicerecruiting Not all officers wear them, but external vests are very popular nowadays due to their comfort and the way they reduce hip and lower back pain versus carrying all your gear on a duty belt. One concern however, are the grips that the vest provides. Unlike a gi, the vest allows a hand to completely encircle pieces of the vest, which makes traditional #judo or #jiujitsu grip breaks less effective. A few of our officers were lucky enough to get invited to a training session with @kcsopio to go over some of the solutions that their cadre have come up with to address various controls that can be obtained from grabbing a vest. We look forward to sharing them with our cadre and playing around with them in our DT room. Has anyone else ever troubleshooted this yet? If so, let me know! Also, our hiring portal for entry and lateral applicants will reopen in a few months. Be ready! #bellevue #police #defensivetactics #selfdefense #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom
