There are several steps we can take to increase our odds in these deadly encounters. Understand, nothing guarantees that our brothers and sisters who have fallen and gave us these lessons would have survived if they had done these steps. No doubt many may have fallen anyway, but it is our duty to learn and honor their sacrifice by carrying on the mission on and off duty. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The first step in surviving these encounters is <B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">awareness</SPAN></B>. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">In the <A href="http://www.policeone.com/training/calibre-press">Street Survival Seminar</A> we emphasize the need to stay in <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Condition Yellow</SPAN></I>, a broad external awareness that permits us to process what is going on around us. In this day and age of distracters and stress it is not unusual for us to get on the cell phone immediately and start thinking about our time off. We essentially go mentally off duty before we're out of harms way. This is called <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">Condition White</SPAN></I> and is a healing, problem-solving, internal focus that does not serve us well when threats are around. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">The goal is to maintain a "on patrol" mindset all the way home. Ask yourself, "Who is behind you, walking down your alley or street, parked in an odd position, or driving too slow in your neighborhood?" In other words, <I><SPAN style="FONT-STYLE: italic">stay alert!</SPAN></I> <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Next, <B><SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold">make sure your off duty weapons are available and you have trained with them</SPAN></B>. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Too often, we like to buy great little (or big) off duty weapons we then fail to train with. As with all tools our life may depend on, we need to practice with them until their use becomes habitual and automatic. Some departments even require officers to qualify with their off duty guns and that seems like a very good idea since individual weapons have strengths and weaknesses some officers are not aware of. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">For example, if you plan on using a special fanny pack or purse that you intend to shoot out of without drawing the weapon an automatic might not be a good choice since many devices will not allow the slide to cycle properly, giving the user one shot...and one shot only. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Another thing to take into account is what are the environmental issues you are dealing with? Going home at 5:00 PM is going mean different environmental concerns than getting off at 2:00 AM. Things such as weather, lighting in your neighborhood, special problems in the vicinity like bars or half-way houses and any other concern you can think of, should be problems you focus on when driving home. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">If you are going to stop at convenience stores, banks, fast food restaurants, or other higher risk locales, you should approach with the same steps and mindset you do on duty: observe, approach, park to advantage, observe again, and then proceed. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></P> <P><FONT face=Arial color=black size=2><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Arial">Finally, it seems we have been writing a lot about off duty incidents and family issues.
