While most police actions are suspect-based, tactical thinking is
officer based. Suspect-based actions occur when we become too
overwhelmed with the quick capture of the offender and forget
about everything else going on around us. In this situation, things
can get out of control quickly. This result in cross fires, improper
handcuffing techniques and total convergence on the offender by all
officers. It leaves no one to provide cover. Ideally, an officer should
not focus solely on the suspect The officer should focus on his/her
own actions, rather than what the suspect is doing. By maintaining
this focus, you become more effective in controlling your own
emotions. You make stronger tactical decisions ad only escalate the
force, if necessary. This internal focus protect you and allows you to
make sound decisions. This is the officer-based approach to solving
any difficult situation.
