Detective Yates
“My confidence has changed by no longer being fearful of being the first person on the scene. Especially as a female officer. Now, I am able to come in with a cooler hear and de-escalate the situation before it gets to a point that neither party really wants it to be involved in.”
Officer Smith
“Learning and practicing defensive tactics was something I haven’t done since the academy so I am glad my chief enrolled us in the program.”
Officer Pride
“The Guardian training program impacted me by making me aware of other options I can use when handling a person who is resisting arrest. Instead of just relying on the tools on your toolbelt. You learn other options to safely apprehend and perform an arrest without harm.”
