Sheepdog Tip of the Day, Before Combat tip 249
If a police officer makes a mistake in tactics somewhere on a training day, he will hear about that mistake hourly for the next six months or until some other officer makes another mistake that gets someone's attention. With each joke from each member, they emphasize the mistake and improve the chances that someone will repeat it the next time they use that tactic. Can you imagine the training value if everyone heard or thought about the right way of doing that tactic every hour for the next six months? Want to place a bet on the odds of this team doing that tactic right the next time they use it?
