You'd think with all the training on firearms they'd at least get that right.
Police academies spend about 110 hours training their recruits on firearms skills and self-defense — but just eight hours on conflict management and mediation.
This is according to a 2006 report from the Department of Justice, which looked at the median time state and local academies spent on various law enforcement skills.
The report is a decade old, but it’s the most recent data we have on how much time is usually spent training police officers to diffuse tense situations.
