Frequently Asked Questions

What tactical advantage does a Pistol Mounted Light (PML) offer?

A Pistol Mounted Light (PML) can create a 'photonic barrier,' disorienting the suspect and providing the officer with a visual advantage, even in daylight conditions. This helps in identifying threats and controlling the situation more effectively.

What are key lessons from the Maybrook, New York officer-involved incident?

The incident highlights the difficulty of police work, the complexities of clearing structures, and the importance of assessing suspect intent by observing their hands. It also stresses the need for practiced skills in high-stress situations like firing for effect and reloading.

Why is maintaining distance from cover important during structure clearing?

During structure clearing, 'hugging' the wall too closely can make an officer a static target. Maintaining a slight distance from cover allows for better observation angles and quicker movement, reducing the risk of being an easy target for a suspect.

What makes Newbold Targets a valuable training tool?

Newbold Targets are made from self-sealing reactive polymer, offering a safer alternative to steel targets by eliminating ricochet and lead splatter. They provide realistic feedback similar to steel, enhancing training effectiveness.
