I have been tasked to come up with four or five realistic scenarios for use in our in-service training program. I have a couple of rough ideas, but I would like some suggestions and to hear about any successful scenarios you folks have been through.
The two most common problems we encounter here are alcohol-related things such as drunk and disorderly, DUI, drunken disputes, etc. and domestic violence. Usually alcohol is involved in the domestic situations as well.
One of the scenario ideas I have goes something like this:
Solo officer gets called to the bar because a drunken patron is getting loud and obnoxious. The officer arrives and starts to deal with the drunk, but then the bartender starts to interfere and becomes the problem.
Since I want one of the scenarios to involve the use of deadly force the second idea I have is:
Solo officer gets called to a domestic dispute. No violence has occurred, just arguing. While the officer is interviewing the husband, the husband starts to voice suicidal thoughts and pulls a handgun from his waistband and keeps the gun alongside his leg; the husband does not point the gun at anyone at this point. This scenario can take several directions depending upon the actions of the officer, but eventually the husband will shoot at the officer causing the officer to respond with deadly force. The scenario will ideally end in one of two ways: if after the shooting the officer retreats outside the house it now becomes a barricaded suspect situation and SRT is called out, or the officer remains behind cover and waits for a back-up officer to arrive then together they approach and handcuff the wounded husband. If the officer ever breaks cover before his back-up arrives the wounded husband will shoot at the officer again.
If anyone is uncomfortable with posting scenarios on this public forum, feel free to PM me. Thanks in advance.
