Rescuing Cops in the Kill Zone
Man down! Survival tactics when risks are high and enemies are strong.
IALEFI (International Association of Law Enforcement Firearms Instructors) is dedicated to promoting safe, relevant, dynamic training that will allow officers to win fights. IALEFI holds both ATC (Annual Training Conferences) and RTC (Regional Training Conferences) to further instructors’ development. I’ve been a member for years, usually teach at each ATC and try to attend as much training as I can during that week.
Sgt. Jason Wuestenberg, owner of Pro-Active Training Institute (www.pro-activetraining.us) and officer of the Phoenix, AZ, P.D., and his partner, P.P.D. Officer Frank Herman taught a class at the May 08 ATC on Downed Officer Rescue. The basic format of the class follows the lessons of active shooter training—there isn’t time to wait for S.W.A.T., establish communication, set up a perimeter…by the time all that’s been done, the officer may have bled out. The downed officer needs to be rescued in seconds, not in minutes.
