Michael Musengo: Turning Pro! Police training is a profession!

Welcome to my conversation with Michael Musengo, Sergeant (Ret.) Director of Learning and Development, Staff Instructor Force Science. He spent 19 years as a narcotics detective working as an undercover operative and was a sworn DEA Task force agent working larger multi-jurisdictional narcotics cases. A recently retired Police Training Commander and Director of a mid-sized Regional Police Academy in upstate NY, Sergeant Mike Musengo has dedicated his career to studying and implementing non-traditional, empirically supported training methods. These innovative approaches are designed to optimize long-term learning, retention, and skill transfer in the law enforcement training experience. Coupled with his extensive experience as an instructor in human performance factors, Musengo has developed comprehensive training curricula not only for officers on the street but also for the trainers responsible for their development.
