Course Takeaways
• Train like your life depends on it—it does.
• A life-or-death encounter is not the first place you should have experienced pain. Experience and train pain tolerance, and work on your limitations.
• There is no excuse worthy of telling your next of kin why you did not wear your vest. Wear it!
• When preparing yourself, practice—not until you get it right; practice until you do not get it wrong.
• Never, ever give up.
Angela Sands, Prevailing Mind-set—Surviving and Winning a Lethal-force Encounter
In November 2015, Officer Sands was shot while on duty and credits wearing her bullet-resistant vest with saving her life. Since that time, she has provided local and national presentations and instruction in prevailing mind-set—surviving and winning a lethal-force encounter; post-traumatic stress disorder; and emotional health for law enforcement.
