I'm just an ordinary citizen who has been curious about everything law enforcement. I don't know why. I am a Navy veteran . I was a Corpsman. When I was in the service, I worked EMS on base and was at times a first responder myself. I have an understanding about arriving in a caotic scene. Sometimes we would be the first to arrive and other time military police (Madter At Arms) would be there when we got there. As medical responders, all we had was desculation and our ability to communicate. Most of the time (except in combat), we are unarmed. There were a few conflicts about the scene. A person may be drunk and injured. He or she may be biligernt and voval. Yet thetmy are injured. To usvhe is a patient. To LEOs LEOs a suspect. We want to treat injuries, and LEOs want to collect evidence. (Over simplified) It's funny how the approach to "control" the scene and maintain safety. The biggest difference is the drunk is more happy to see us than the LEOs. I no longer work in the health care industry. I got burnt out and suffered from depression and anxiety from the stress. I think that police need to learn some stress management techniques to heal the responders. I dont pretend to say i know everything a police officer goes through. I only know the sometimes shared stress in a caotic scene with injuries. I have seen some gruesome injuries that could have been prevented. (Accidents, alcohol related, fights, domestic abuse, self harm ) You take that stuff with you. For that reason I am empathetic towards police overall. I do know that medical liability is real. Somebody's life is in your hands, and you do the best you can with what you have to work with. I am troubled in watching some of the videos that catch incidents. I can be alarming. I honestly think some of the first armament auditors have a few screws loose. I get what they are trying to do but too often go about it the wrong way. I dont think that they will go away anytime soon. I'm glad I'm not doing anything EMS these days. They are being held liable for not stepping in. We were never trained how to step in a dog pile of police and suspects. What types of community outreach do you plan. It will take reaching out to volunable communities and educating about what you do. There have to be nubers to contact the chain of command and public relations. It takes a village. Accounability is not a bad thing. I believe in good faith. I also believe in holding gross negligence, and willful acts should be dealt with accordingly. It seems that you would want to weed out the bad players in uniform. Not everyone is cut out to be in that job.
I'm glad to hear this. Hopefully leo will finally realize that because of lawsuits caused by lack of training is the major cause of funds being pulled from law enforcement along with how funds are mismanaged. As in any job one must know the ins and outside of the job. Insurance companies are very close to refusing to insure police departments because of incompetence in training.
Thanks for the comment. The issues you brought up is part of the reason I brought Jason on the podcast. A big part of the problem is that we have training, but we don't have learning. Jason shares a similar philosophy as me, the focus needs to be on learning, not check the box training.
Mr. Scramlin, I have a good question and topic for you. I worked with Lovington PD for a while. Please respond on here and we can coordinate a meeting.
