Training Staff Development
CUTTING EDGE TRAINING's expert trainers provide world-class mentoring and instruction to your agency's training staff in all knowledge, tactical, and force domains. Our staff provides low-key, high-impact training and mentorship to your staff to dramatically increase the quality of instruction for your officers. Far from a standard "instructor development" course, each consultation is specifically tailored to your training staff's needs. We maximize your training dollars by maximizing your agency's instructors' ability to provide higher quality training.
For example, our staff trainers are intimately familiar with the laws of force. More importantly, they are able to transmit this knowledge to your agency instructors in a manner that is instantly useable and practical for the officer on the street. Our civil risk management practices and knowledge are second-to-none. Whether it is classroom instruction, range or mat skills, officer safety and the tactical resolution of critical incidents, our trainers make a serious impact on your training program.

Force Incident Risk Management in Specific Incidents
CUTTING EDGE TRAINING has been called upon in many instances to assist agencies and officers with key risk management advice and consultations in the midst of high-profile, high liability exposure cases. Our staff of specialists stand ready at a moment's notice to focus its considerable risk management expertise on your force issue.
Policy Analysis, Comparison, Critique, and Development
Our staff provides you with competent, up-to-the-minute civil liability protection analyzing, comparing, and critiquing your high-liability policies to ensure you have the strongest, most defensible policies available. CUTTING EDGE TRAINING has provided this service to literally hundreds of agencies throughout the United States of America.
Force Studies and Trends Within an Agency
We provide expert analysis of your officers’ force response, comparing their force employment against national, state, and local norms. We can provide the police manager the ability to maximize control over policy and training, to better reflect the needs of the agency in the force response. This is a vital tool—-knowing how and when your officers respond with force allows you, the police manager, to better answer questions at any level of inquiry.
Training Needs and Enhancement of the Training Function
The training of police officers is not a discretionary task. Rather, the courts have consistently mandated that the training of officers is one of the most important functions of a modern police agency. CUTTING EDGE TRAINING can provide a court-defensible analysis of your training program that is second-to-none.
Peace Officer Murders and Assaulted
In order to understand the physical threat to our officers, it is helpful to understand the actual manner in which officers are feloniously assaulted and murdered. A comprehensive study of the case helps to reveal these facts. As a result, a comparative analysis is conducted to determine the commonality between the murders and to make suggestions affecting the training of peace officers in your agency, your region, and the nation. CUTTING EDGE TRAINING stands ready to perform this Officer Murdered and Assaulted study at no charge to any agency, jurisdiction, state, or territory. This investigation and analysis determines how your officers are at risk, and what can be done through relevant training to prevent and mitigate these deadly assaults.
