"The expression back against the wall is often used to describe a dire situation with few options. From a tactical standpoint, having your back against a wall presents a unique set of problems. Since your mobility is severely limited, creating distance or accessing your weapons is no easy task."

Not Training is Dumb / Officer.com, 8 July 2008

Steve Ashley
"Over the years, I have met with a lot of police trainers who are very frustrated at the level of commitment their respective departments are willing to make to training. It's not that trainers are unaware of what needs to be done to make their training programs more effective in reducing officer injuries, or even that their bosses lack much of the same knowledge - it's that there often seems to be no emphasis placed on the importance of reaching that goal."

Tony Scotti
"Confronted with an emergency scenario while driving the driver's reaction time can be the difference between success and failure. Although it is an important part of driving and driver training reaction time is not easy to demonstrate. But there are exercises that can show the affect of reaction time on the decision making process."

Getting Their Butt In Gear / Officer.com, 8 July 2008

Susan Grant
"Motivation and Commitment. Every employer's dream is to have highly motivated and committed employees. Policing is no different. We want to attract the cream of the crop; the high achievers. There is so much work to do out on the streets with calls and investigations and such a shortage of personnel that we desperately need motivated officers. In fact, having unmotivated officers not only de-motivates everyone else, it can also be a liability issue within our organizations."

"Every police department has a mission statement and a set of core values. You know, the plaque on the walls with the mission statement that nobody ever reads. The core values always make up some acronym that is supposed to give more meaning to it. By the way, where do all of these acronyms come from anyway?"

What kind of supervisor do I want to be?/ Officer.com, 9 July 2008

Elvin G. Miali
"Try to analyze various situations throughout your tour of duty. Give yourself quizzes by asking yourself: How would you explain the situation to the lieutenant? Did you properly handle various situations with the resources available to you at the time; how would you handle a disgruntled employee; would you recommend discipline (if so, how much)? With this mental attitude, you begin to feel like a sergeant. Suddenly your attitude changes and you are looking at various things in a different light, which will give you an advantage over your competition because you are now developing the feeling of a supervisor rather than that of a police officer. This mindset has to feel good; you have to feel comfortable with it; it has to become your "clothing". In other words, you have to own it!"
