Cops train for what they need to know, apparently.

Critical Thinking is a perishable skill needed to manage high-stress situations. Part of Wilshire's Roll-Call Training focuses on "staying in the moment" & not letting adrenaline/emotions control your actions. This morning our 8 probationary officers were peppered with questions that tested their knowledge on Uses of Force, Biased Policing, & Procedural Justice. For every wrong answer/pause/stutter they had to hit the bag 5x. The questions got tougher as the heart rate increased. We're proud at how they handled themselves during this.
