SOB Law Enforcement Training
About this video
McPhee describes his training approach for law enforcement agencies, including his video diagnostic method for firearms instruction and his specialized house-clearing and tactical training for SWAT teams. He argues that his extensive combat experience in Iraq provides law enforcement with accelerated skill development that would take years to achieve through conventional training methods.
Key takeaways
- McPhee’s video diagnostic training method allows him to correct shooter mistakes and provide feedback within 50 rounds, which he argues surpasses police academy training
- McPhee teaches that grip should be finalized early in the draw to create a ‘buffer zone’ for corrections before firing
- McPhee contends that his combat experience in Iraq—which he equates to roughly 100 years of SWAT team callouts—enables him to teach advanced tactical and human behavior concepts that police SWAT teams rarely encounter
- McPhee uses the analogy of learning from a Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt to explain why agencies hire him: to compress years of skill development into shorter timeframes
