I wish there was more research like the MPD study available when I was going through LCC at LEMIT. I wanted to do my white paper on BJJ for police. Unfortunately, there was limited research outside of anecdotal articles. My belief is the training needs to start in the academy. Not to go down the rabbit hole that academies are not long enough, but the way we train in the academy I think needs to be changed. In the case of physical techniques and tactics, it is my belief, should be trained multiple days a week. It can be included in the PT portion of the academy. I believe it should be applied to firearms training as well. I do not believe the one week inoculation training is conducive for long term retention. If these practices are started in the academy I believe that more officers will continue the practice once they leave the academy. It will not be 100%, but I think there will be a shift in how department's train.
Paul Sipe's dissertation is another good source of data . https://keep.lib.asu.edu/system/files/c7/Sipe_asu_0010E_23768.pdf
There is also another BJJ study that was published in a peer reviewed journal that I will review here in the next couple of weeks.
