Ten Deadly Errors Review

A review of, what are now, the 12 deadly errors and how to avoid them.

This is an online only (virtual) training course that reviews the traditional Ten Deadly Errors, and their impact on officer survival concerns, but also adds two additional and conventionally recognized “deadly errors.”  The deadly errors are mistakes commonly made by law enforcement professionals that, when leveraged fully by the criminal suspects, can result in the law enforcement officer’s death.

The course includes four training videos. The total viewing time for the videos is approximately 40 minutes broken down into four segments. For viewer’s reference there is also a downloadable PDF version of the PowerPoint presentation, perfect for use in taking notes. A course syllabus and extra reading resources are also included in the training materials.
