The Military Myth in Policing
Send us Fan Mail
The military myth in policing began many, many years ago, reaching its pivotal moment shortly after 9/11. The presence of a military mindset has always been present in policing worldwide, but reached its peak after that day in September of 2001...with the development of Homeland Security, and the war on terror began playing out in real time.
Some say it started with the widespread training of how fast you can put on your PPE (Personal Protective Equipment) to protect oneself from chemical weapons...yes that happened in the early 2000's. Initial trainings were put on by military personnel around the US. Others argue it began when police departments began reaching out to military units for guidance on tactics and training programs to help prepare line level police officers for the ultimate terrorists threat.
But, make no mistake, military mindset in policing is not always a bad thing...we've seen some great leaps in policing adapting some military protocols. In reverse, the military has said they have learned some things from modern day policing. This ranges anywhere from tactics, fitness, procedural programs, to testing.
We touch on training aspects, budgets, tactics, numbers, and more in this episode. Throughout policing worldwide, criminals continue to elevate their network, and gain more technical advantages from firepower to computers...law enforcement worldwide needs to keep up!
Join us in this episode as we tackle this mythical beast...some may not agree with what we discuss...but others who have been in both realms like we have, will totally and completely understand where it is we are coming from when both worlds collide!
