The amount of time that we are provided for #training on duty is more than many other departments. However, when considering the amount of time that a subject matter expert (in any field) devotes to their particular craft, we are simply not given enough time during our work day to continually improve. Hopefully this will change one day, but in the meantime, we are left to train on our own time in order to get better. Going into my 18th year in #lawenforcement, I have seen that skills and attributes are often taught and practiced in isolation. This makes sense for a beginner to prevent information overload and being overwhelmed. However, after a minimal amount of proficiency is achieved, I think motor patterns and specific skills should be consolidated. Not only is this a more efficient use of time, it is actually a more realistic representation of how those activities will be applied.
If someone doesnβt have a satisfactory level of #fitness, they should focus on that. Same for #defensivetactics, #firearms proficiency, or any endeavor. At this point in my journey, my goal is to slowly but surely consolidate the various components in training more often. More birds with less stones, or something like that. Day by day. ππ½π₯π€π½ #police #selfdefense #jiujitsu #dryfire #speedreload #police #trainweeklyorfightweakly #aiea #oahugrown
