This video breaks down a critical incident involving LASD deputies responding to a man experiencing a psychotic break. Instructor John Correia analyzes the deputy's tactical decisions, including stress management techniques like 'box breathing' and the strategic use of a Weapon Mounted Light (WML) to illuminate the suspect while minimizing risk to a bystander. The importance of marksmanship and equipment confidence in high-stress, close-quarters encounters is also emphasized.

As of August 1st, 2022, Los Angeles County has decentralized its Concealed Carry Weapon (CCW) issuing authority to individual municipalities. Applicants living within an incorporated city are now encouraged to apply with their local police department first, rather than directly with the Los Angeles Sheriff's Department (LASD). For unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County, applications will continue to be processed by the LASD. While the core application remains the same, there may be nuances in fees and payment recipients between local PDs and the LASD.
