Police training isn’t what most people think. In this video, Randall Arsenault, known as Officer Arsenault, reveals the shocking truth about how little training new police officers actually receive in firearms, use-of-force, and police vehicle operations (PVO). From recruits who have never touched a firearm before police college, to officers requalifying only once a year with their firearms, the gaps in police training are raising serious safety concerns for both officers and the public.
Randall shares real stories from policing instructors and trainers about recruits dropping pistols on the range, looking for “batteries” in their firearms, and struggling behind the wheel of a police cruiser with minimal driving experience. Police training is supposed to prepare officers for life-or-death situations and high-stress driving - but are we setting them up to fail?
Officers in specialty Units such as the Emergency Task Force, K9, etc. certainly train more often. They worked hard to get into those positions and constant training is certainly part of their duties. This video mostly applies to Beat Cops - Primary Response Officers who go from call to call each shift.
If you’re a current or former police officer, we’d love to hear your perspective on firearms training, use-of-force training, and police driving programs. If you’re a civilian, does this surprise you? Do you think police training needs reform?
After 20 years in policing and a lifetime inside police culture, Randall believes officers and communities deserve better. More frequent training, better programs, and a commitment to police excellence. Watch until the end to learn about organizations pushing for real change in Canadian policing.
