One of the biggest problems is the training equipment. Different equipment for different training, and the officers can easily spot it.
I’ve moved away from a lot of the protective equipment, in lieu of good training instructors that just requires eye protection more realistic, and you cant see the facial expressions.
Using quiet or silenced blanks to cycle the weapons so you can see if they jam or certain pistols that’ll allow you to see where they’re hitting. Gives a lot more value to the scenario and saves 50% of the set up time as long as you do good safety check checks.
We broke down the silos in the early 2000s and the CIT force options training program.
We also use what you call now ecological training back in 1990s.
Brilliant stuff on the cold start performance metric. Most training evals look at endpoint fluency which totally misses wether skills actually transfer when oficers are under real time pressure. I've seen this in simulations where people who aced blocked drills fell apart the moment we introduced decision branching or even just simple enviromental changes.
Building Shooters has been writing about this since 2016 and practicing if for much longer. Except for a few enlightened trainers, still having trouble getting LE and civilians to move beyond unrealistic pre-programmed drills. Keep pushing.

Fantastic! Will be employing this model going forward. Thank you!
