From YouTube: Bend Police Quarterly Training June 2022

Description

Bend Police Training Sgt. Todd Guthrie explains the purpose of this month’s quarterly training for the Bend Police Department.

A

Today we have our third day uh our second quarter in service each quarter. We do a four day in service for the entire department. um Today's the third day, what this training incorporates is we have our ebock refresher, so our evoc instructors have set up three different courses on these parking lots.

A

Some are slow speed, some are higher speed and everybody will go through those courses. Additionally, what we've done is we are doing a 40, millimeter, less lethal launcher recertification and we're doing the oc recertification.

A

In addition to that, we are also doing active threat response training that requires officers to respond to anything that is perceived or reported as an active threat, whether it's a shooter, someone actively doing harm to others, pretty good timing right now with what we've had in the media recently, but um what we have two stations and we're teaching officers, both a solo response, where they're going by themselves to encounter an active threat and we're teaching them a team response where they have two or more officers responding to an active threat.

A

So this is going to be the majority of the day where everybody rotates through these stations and then at the end of the day, we will do a scenario where we incorporate evoc, with an active threat response and we'll dispatch them to an active threat and they have to use evoc, uh do several laps around the track and then respond, and that one is pretty critical, especially with the increased numbers of active shooters and active threats that we've had in the media and around the nation.

A

So it's important to get our officers in the mindset of how to respond best tactics for responding the best way to get there and the best way to engage a threat.
