That's all they preached in drill in the academy. It doesn't take long to figure out when you need to use it and when you don't. It's always best to start out at as low a level as possible then escalate as necessary based on the situation. Of course if the subject is armed and the situation is deadly force, the continuum is lost and you do what you gotta do to survive and protect the public.
 
Yeah, its pretty much drummed into you during your initial officer survival training that you MUST control any situation you get involved in. Command voice is the first step in the use of force wheel.
 
Not LEO. Trained in crisis intervention as part of the CPI (Crisis Prevention/Intervention) unit @ a shcool (just kidding) school for "at risk" (insert descriptive language here). Later went into elementary (and managed to see CPI implemented - really needed it here). Meanwhile trained w/ and ex FBI supervisory trainer who also worked w/ the local AG's office.
Kinda' Remember my drill seargent also; "Alright you weak little maggots! Yer gonna be runnin a bit faster today! You aint disgracing me, your momma or your country by fallin behind! Any o' yew larvae got any questions?
 
Yes. I got that training in the Air Force (Security Forces). Plus, I observe it occasionally from my wife when I upset her. ;)
 
I have learned it in the Air Force. I'm normally an extremely passive person, and let me tell you, this really put me out of my "comfort zone" but probably for the better. Working basic training and similar situations, really made me come out of my shell some. I even find myself talking louder in my normal voice than I used to.
 
Yes, LEO Academy, 2004, and it is continually stressed through our defensive tactics/ officer safety and SWAT training. I agree with pax especially when dealing w/ kids though, it can definitely lose it's power with the wee ones. And I am yet to go 'Deputy' on my son without getting that heartbreaking face and a few tears, so I reserve it for the worst of situations. Fortunately 99% of the time he is great kid but he is ALWAYS 110% little boy!
 
You betcha. Although, mine isn't much above my "normal" voice. I have had to learn to lower my voice for typical conversations. I was often mistaken for my father over the phone...at around 13 years old.

That's genetics and testosterone for ya...
