American COP Magazine Turns To Safety, On And Off Duty

FMG Publications

San Diego, Calif. --(Ammoland.com)- As the year comes to an end, the November/December issue of American COP Magazine takes a look at new training techniques, how to keep your family safe.

In “Bad Guys Don’t Come With Scoring Rings,” Dave Staskiewicz explores training with more than just paper targets with scoring rings on the center of mass.

“You don’t need to be a doctor to understand where the vital organs are in the human body — the upper chest (upper thoracic cavity aka UTC),” says Staskiewicz. “So why do we continue to teach to shoot center mass?”

Staskiewicz talks about the new — and cheap — training he initiated to simulate more realistic targets and scenarios, including using photographs depicting an array of people an officer might encounter on duty that feature UTC targets, but no scoring rings.
