In this episode, Jerry Bradshaw discusses:

• Handling hyper aggressive or hyper passive suspects on high risk deployments. 
• Taking role play seriously in training to properly prepare for high risk scenarios. 
• Component training for good scenario training.
• Backup neutrality and realistic role playing. 

Key Takeaways:

• There must be clear communication between the canine handler and the SWAT team with highly aggressive suspects. 
• Your dog must be a well conditioned athlete to endure a long and powerful fight. 
• Passive engagement requires training your basic bite work so the dog understands it brings the prey alive, or the threat is neutralized by its actions. 
• Passivity is a threat in police work and must be trained. 

“Training must create the habit of engagement using a variety of methods of awakening confidence, civil aggression, heightened prey aggression, a variety of equipment including hidden equipment, sleeves and suits, including muzzle and good solid targeting.” —  Jerry Bradshaw
