PRACTICE THE WAY WE PLAY Tips to make simulation training better reflect reality

摘要

Police lore tells of a time when officers were trained to unload the brass casings from their guns after shooting, put them in their pocket, then load new bullets. The problem was that the "bad guys" could shoot the officers as they went through this elaborate exercise, and many officers who did so in a shootout during the late '60s to early 70s died with brass in their hand or pocket from this flawed training.As history shows, how you're trained can make a huge difference in real-world performance, and understanding all facets of training can better prepare your students.
