The difference between surviving or not surviving a shoot-out will depend on many factors. Who are you up against, how many are you up against, how efficient are they, and then, how efficient are you? This could be the most important question you could ever ask yourself in a life or death situation. Nothing could be more important when confronted with a violent situation than training and equipment. Proper training and equipment are a must for a professional law enforcement officer, anything less is only flirting with danger. With liability cases on the increase, agencies who fail to provide the most up-to-date training and equipment are also flirting with danger. For these reasons, training and equipment must be put on the front burner and monitored continuously. The best defense to liability cases against officers and their respective agencies is, without question, competent training and competent equipment.
