"Will to Win": Advanced Strategies for Law Enforcement Survival

The Will to Survive has been a cornerstone of law enforcement training since the inception of modern policing. However, we must do more than just survive—we must cultivate the Will to Win. While de-escalation and crisis intervention are crucial tools for resolving many situations, it is vital to acknowledge that offenders attack police officers nearly 80,000 times a year, resulting in serious bodily harm, long-term disabling injuries, and even death.

The Will to Win must be an essential building block in our repertoire. This course covers:
