Schedule of Events
TUESDAY JANUARY 17th
Armor Forge Presents: Survivability – The Truth about Ballistic Protection
Bleeding control can be an unfortunate but important aspect of everyday life for first responders. Applying this skill is not a question of if, but when. How often do you train on it? Daily? Weekly? Monthly? Never? When you do train, how do you conduct it and what equipment do you use? Phokus Research Group has created a line of tabletop wound simulators that will demonstrate a way to train more efficiently, regardless of location. You can practice life-threatening hemorrhage control skills from anywhere ” home, the fire station or your police department. With lightweight, easy-to-clean wound patterns that actively bleed, effective wound simulators are the go-to task trainer for any organization who regularly responds to medical emergencies or life-threatening situations.
Christopher Bush
This session will focus on combative tools and techniques used when a threat is within 5 feet, addressing issues such as vehicle approach, multiple threats, threat priority, weapon retention and techniques used to create space and operate in close-quarter combative situations.
Everyone looks at 2020 as the year it all fell apart. The riots. The death threats. The defund the police movement. But the painful truth is that the war on cops began the day that social media took off.
So how do we fight back with dignity, honor and grace? How do we engage in the culture war to recruit and KEEP more officers, involve the community, push back on the defund the police movement, and restore integrity and trust? We use the exact same social media platforms that helped launch the culture war on the profession to begin with.
In this presentation, Kyle Reyes, Executive Director of Law Enforcement Today (the largest police-owned media outlet in America) and CEO of The Silent Partner Marketing will bring a fresh and unique business and marketing approach to the crisis the world of law enforcement is facing. Attendees will leave equipped with an understanding of just how this war is being waged on not only the blue but also everyone who backs the blue and learn an entirely new, authentic and fun way of engaging the community to fight back.
WEDNESDAY JANUARY 18th
Today’s LEOs face greater challenges than ever as they attempt to do their jobs in an environment filled with cell phone cameras in every direction, Monday morning quarterbacks, and many people ready and willing to serve as instant judge and jury in an officer use-of-force incident. In order to train officers for use-of-force incidents, instructors must be able to train on the mechanics of the weapons but also train when to use them and when to use other means. This involves the “Training Triangle.” The classroom, range and simulator form three points of a triangle that is crucial to developing a complete training opportunity. This session will cover the use of each of these facilities, the best practices, and the shortfalls of each that are made up by the others to help trainers and instructors prepare officers.
Bobby Cummings
From staying compliant with OSHA noise exposure limits and noise ordinances specific to your community and location, there are cost-effective solutions that can keep your employees and customers safe while also improving your “good neighbor” image. Bill Bergiadis, a noted authority on indoor and outdoor shooting range OSHA compliance, inventor of the highly rated Troy System, and co-developer of the USACE shooting range test procedure, covers the ins and outs of these solutions and shows how any shooting range (or noisy crime lab) of any size can put them to work.
