Red Man

You are asking yourself...what the heck is this?! It is an afternoon of learning what adrenaline does to you and your senses during an “acted” arrest.

Throughout our classes of arrest control, we have learned a ton. Red Man days are days that we are to put our training to use. We have mock scenarios of making arrests on our suspects. All of our training “could” be put to use, which makes for a dynamic training day. Our training that we have received really prepares us for these exercises. I found myself even with the training, experiencing “tunnel vision” during the arrests and forgetting aspects that I need to keep in the forefront of my mind.

Below are some pictures of our first Red Man day...there will be more.

Oh...and AWESOME job to our instructors who helped us out all day!
