    Do you think that's down to the lack of training they receive ?

    Yes - that plus LEO is a general position, so whilst they have broad exposure to situations that are confrontational in nature they are not de facto specialists in dealing with them.

    I had to be recognised as an expert for court purposes and state my qualifications to be considered as such. In order to be a UoF expert you have to take specific training courses and modules, and in my case my external training facilitated that too.

    In the UK many - if not all - SCT and associated roles are now filled by non-sworn staff so the instructors are not always LEO anyway

    Though it is a bit of a red flag to me that she doesn't give any indication of her "law enforcement background"... presumably that means she may have had a volunteer or civilian role that doesn't require much training.

    Yeah that is marketing hype - anytime it is unqualified with either position or area of expertise i am instantly on guard

    I saw this on the same Facebook page and entered cringe mode.

    I reminded me of the pictures I had seen to remind people not to wear rings to BJJ/Wrestling.

    It's selling to the cheap "quick" option, and into people's fears.
