TPD recruits are now learning how to react when bullets start flying at them.
TUCSON, Ariz. — The ’23-1 class at the Southern Arizona Law Enforcement Training Center has already been trained on how to handle a gun.
“Draw the fire away from the victim, end the threat, and then go take care of them,” said TPD Recruit Nich Flynn, describing the scenario. “You gotta keep [the victim] safe. They’re the main priority in that scenario.” The recruits, as well as the “victim” and “gunman” who are played by local law enforcement, wear a padded mask for protection. They use training guns that fire “sim rounds,” similar to an airsoft gun.
“Not gonna be as bad as an actual bullet. But you also think, like, when you get hit, like, that could have been an actual bullet.”“If you’re out of ammo, what are you gonna do?” Olguin’s instructor asked her in their debrief. “Now [the gunman is] just dancing around you. At what point you just take your handcuff key and stab him in the eyeball? We gotta end that threat.”
