121 - Police Combatives with Lt Kevin Dillon (ret) - Survival
From The Strenuous Life Podcast
I really enjoyed talking to Lieutenant Kevin Dillon (ret) who served for 25 years as a police officer, SWAT team member, and detective commander before moving on to become a full time trainer for police departments.
In this episode we talk about his closest calls on the street, how police departments train their officers to fight, degrees of force and escalation in combatives, how to talk somebody down, strategies and tactics that anyone can employ to keep themselves safe, and much more.
Regardless of whether you're a LEO (law enforcement officer) or a civilian I think you'll find this useful!
