The one where we learned a lot...
Let's see if this sounds familiar:
You go to this awesome training put on by fire professionals. During the training, you learn a great tactic/skill and think your department could benefit from adapting to or having it in their toolbox for a specific event, so you decide to bring it back and train your guys on that tactic/skill on a training night. At the training night, your officers are absolutely opposed to what you want to bring in for one reason or another, tell you they're never going to do it, and in turn - you develop resentment against the officers or even the department as a whole. They just don't seem to get the advantages to it and you can't figure out why.
Sound about right?
We know what you've gone through - we have too.
In this episode, we go over in detail one of these conflicts that occurred in the last 6 months and left a big impact on us. We go over everything we learned, how we should have approached the issue differently, and also how we think the officers could have acted - all to keep the conflict from escalating the way it can and sometimes does.
