Episode Summary: 

Ever contemplated the complexity of decision-making in high-stress, life-changing moments? In this compelling episode, we delve deep into the multifaceted realm of human factors in law enforcement, shedding light on how they directly shape the perceptions and responses of officers amidst life-altering, high-pressure situations. Join us as we unpack the importance of specialized training, the significance of networking in use of force investigations, and venture into the groundbreaking research conducted by Dr. Taylor.

Our discussion covers topics such as dispatch priming, muzzle position, and the seamless transition between tools used by officers in the field. From developing automatic response tactics to recognizing environmental stimuli, this episode will make you rethink how we perceive law enforcement, especially as it relates to use of force.
