MindSighting  - Dr. Michael Asken

Those who place themselves in harm’s way are consistently told to focus, concentrate and utilize the survival mindset. However, rarely are they trained HOW to accomplish this. It is often assumed that mental toughness will automatically result from physical and tactical training. This is not always true, but mental toughness skills can be trained directly.

MindSighting presents psychological techniques and training to develop Mental Toughness, the Survival Mindset and a hardened focus. The goal is to integrate the psychological with physical and tactical training to add a dimension that is often overlooked, but necessary to achieve maximal performance excellence. If you only talk about mental toughness but don’t actively train it, you haven’t developed the complete warrior.

Force Science Institute Articles

The use of deadly force by law enforcement officers is one of the most controversial and socially disruptive issues embroiling modern law enforcement. The intent of the Force Science Research Center (FSRC) is to pioneer approaches to thoroughly dissect the dynamics of these encounters and illuminate the shadowy and often mystifying circumstances that so often surround them. This unique center focuses on and researches many heretofore unaddressed questions to help shed light on the varied aspects of extreme encounters. The undertakings of the FSRC will have profound legal, moral and social implications.

The MMRMA Deadly Force Project

Structured to pursue quantification of the Graham v. Connor, “reasonable officer” standard, this study examined micro‐behavioral components of the deadly force decision‐making process. In doing so it also encompassed consideration of specific officer and suspect traits in an effort to determine their degree of correlation in the decision‐making process. The study concludes that the age, assignment, experience and gender of the officer had little significance in the apparent propensity to use deadly force under the circumstances observed. The age, ethnicity, gender and attire of suspects shot by officers did suggest significant correlation, but in ways that might radically alter the manner in which the police use of deadly force is examined in the future.
