14: Tip for Police Officers in Training and Learning: Principles over Methods

Episode 14 Published 3 years, 5 months ago
Description

I heard a quote the other day and that thing SLAPPED.  

"The man who grasps principles can successfully handle his own methods. The man who tries methods, ignoring principles, is sure to have trouble."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

With my day-to-day and week-to-week being absorbed in training cops- brand new cops- I was taken aback.  It hit home on what we need to be drilling as trainers and what students and recruits need to be focusing as rookies.

Whatever the industry, there are so many tiny details to remember.  It can be dizzying and distracting.  Checklists, different ways to do the same thing.. new rookies often suffer (as I did) paralysis by analysis.

In this episode, I discuss these themes, how to keep it to principles and concepts to guide your thematic learning and development.
