Description:

FEMALE ENFORCERS
ADVANCED MENTAL, PHYSICAL AND TACTICAL SKILLS TO SURVIVE

Primary Instructor: Sgt. Pam Starr

This course addresses the reality of working as a woman law enforcement officer. The Seminar presents skill sets designed to enhance the proficiency of female crime fighters mentally, physically and tactically. As women in a historically (and presently) male-dominated field, female police officers are often forced to fit into the male mold of work and training. Often, little has been done to accept or accommodate the female perspective. This class aims to breach that standard.

Topics include:

• The history of women in police work
• Communication differences between the genders
• Training and equipment
• Patrol tactics
• Winning lethal force confrontations
• Use of Force options
• Mental perspectives for both personal and career survival
• Physical Fitness and Health

 

Women will be empowered by this course and return to their respective agencies with the confidence and knowledge to advance their careers and assist other women in doing the same.
