Can you spot it?<br \/>\n1) Use &#8220;hybrid training.&#8221; This should combine both behind-the-wheel closed-course driving<br \/>\nand advanced police pursuit training simulators.<br \/>\n2) Adopt advanced technology. SkidCars and law enforcement driving simulators (LEDS)<br \/>\nallow officers to safely experience very dangerous driving situations and practice proper<br \/>\nresponses.<br \/>\n3) Train at high speeds. Most police pursuits are &#8220;high speed chases&#8221;; officers need to<br \/>\npractice driving at high speeds on varied terrains\/conditions.<br \/>\n4) Train with interference vehicles. The world is not a closed course; officers need practice<br \/>\navoiding moving vehicles of all sorts (as well as pedestrians, etc.).<br \/>\n5) Practice on what you use. Practice vehicles should be as similar to service vehicles as<br \/>\npossible (i.e., make, model, equipment, weight distribution, handling, etc.).<br \/>\n6) Prepare for rain, snow, fog, and darkness. Training should include all the visibility and<br \/>\nweather conditions that officers might encounter during a shift.<br \/>\nAll of these are excellent practices. But this list of best practices focuses entirely on training<br \/>\nofficers to safely and successfully engage in high-speed pursuit. The one item missing from this list is<br \/>\nthe most fundamental skill of all:<br \/>\n7) Prepare officers to determine when a pursuit is worthwhile. Law enforcement<br \/>\nshould de-escalate whenever possible; while officers are excellent drivers, most<br \/>\nsuspects are not.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faac.com\/blog\/2019\/04\/24\/police-pursuit-training-best-practices-pursuit-de-escalation\/\">See complete article at FAAC.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.faac.com\/police\/pursuitresponse\/\">Or for more information about FAAC Police Training Simulators<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The 2009 volume of the California Commission on Peace Officer Standards and Training&#8217;s (POST&#8217;s) Driver Training Study lists six police pursuit training &#8220;best practices.&#8221; But one vital skill is missing.
