Every veteran corrections officer or cop knows that criminals have a different mindset than those who obey laws and try to live normal lives. Criminals learn very early how to lie, cheat, and deceive and feel most who lead their lives by the law are “chumps”. Law enforcement has to know they are dealing with people who were “running the streets” at night as young offenders while the majority of people were in bed sleeping, preparatory to the next day’s school or workplace.

In Part One of this two-part training program, we talk with Line of Duty Technical Adviser Randy Sutton. As a retired law enforcement officer, Randy reflects upon his career and talks about how his philosophy of policing changed early on because of the advice from his training sergeant.

This training program is broken up into four different segments. At the beginning of each segment there are key teaching points designed to make them more interactive and provoke discussion.

This program covers one of the biggest hot-button issues in law enforcement today…..De Escalation Training for Police.

This program features a vast amount of information for officers who will, likely, deal with edged-weapons’ wielders during their career. It includes a plethora of crucial teaching points about the most common mistakes an officer (or human being) will most often make when confronted by such subjects.

In this training program, we talk with Dr. Andrew Dennis, a nationally-prominent trauma surgeon who also happens to be a full-time cop. Dr. Dennis talks about policing during a pandemic and what changes law enforcement may go through in the future. He also covers training and safety during these challenging times.

In Part II, corrections expert Gary Cornelius provides viewers and students with vitally important information related to how cons and criminals use social media to try to get over on law enforcement both inside and outside penal institutions. Gary points out that “..cell phones are better than gold…” to criminals, because they provide a window to not only the outside world but also provide huge opportunities for them to communicate with others also in incarcerated settings.

In this program, we talk with Byron “Sarge” Watson. Watson provides great insight in dealing with subjects in the African-American communities. 

In this episode of Watch Your Six, we will cover the following topics: Cops being bitten, Breastfeeding laws in the US, Hazmat response plan, Exigent circumstances examples.

This program is an update to In the Line of Duty’s Volume 9 Program 3 which detailed the horrific crash that left Phoenix officer Jason Schechterle with fourth-degree burns and life-changing disfiguring injuries. This update features Jason more than two decades later discussing his incredible emotional and spiritual journey.
