Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Abstract: Meaningful attention to firearms proficiency and the use of deadly force was absent during the first half century of US police history. The training introduced rather casually during the next half century was sporadic, as well as typically quite removed from the practical needs of police officers. As a result, the first century of US policing reflects a negligible connection between formal approaches to firearms and deadly force training, and the conditions under which officers needed to defend themselves and others from dangerous persons. Beginning in the 1960s, a number of entities emerged to presumably influence a variety of perceived shortcomings in police capabilities, methods and field performance. These took form in state police officer standards and training commissions, accreditation organizations, professional associations of training executives as well as trainers, and several US Supreme Court cases. One purpose behind their combined efforts was raising minimum standards, while another was standardization within training domains that some researchers had called for as early as the late 1960s. With regard to firearms and deadly force training, however, empirical research over the past decade indicates that individual departments exercise a great deal of latitude in both the nature and extent of their training and qualification programs. These findings raise questions about whether contemporary programs produce comparable skills, experiences or capabilities among police officers. This has potentially serious consequences for both police officers and the public.
