Our Favorite Police Blogs and 80 Others

Police Websites

Police Driving International: Created by Capt. Travis Yates, a writer at Police One and a leader in police driving issues and training.

Police Training

Calibre Press Street Survival Seminar:  The best street officer school in the industry.

Combat Shooting and Tactics (CSAT):   Founded by Paul Howe, a Delta Force team leader who is best known in the book and movie, Blackhawk Down.  He is on the cutting edge of practical tactics and techniques for patrol officers and SWAT.

Tactical Life Saver: Founded by Sgt. Glenn French, who we regularly link to in our recommended police use of force articles. We have not seen his training because it’s across the country from us but he writes great articles and has great credentials so we believe his training will probably fit the same pattern. Sgt. French also wrote the book, The Police Tactical Lifesaver.

Institute for Law Enforcement Administration (ILEA):  Their Management College is their flagship program and considered prestigious on your resume.  Both of us went through it and endorse it.  The Use of Force Conference they host every two years is excellent.  Click on the link to order DVDs from the 2008 Use of Force Conference. The next conference is in Oct 2010.
