"And the better trained we are the less likely we are to shoot people." The FA.T.S. simulator , which goes into action with the Halton force this month (September) is part of an overall twoâ€"day training package which encourages the officer to utilize a variety of solutions,including verbal communication with the offender and taking cover instead of confronting the suspect. "The simulator conditions the offiâ€" cer to react before getting into a real situation.," says Barss. " And it‘s through lack of training or exposure to the confrontation where the officer gets into problems." With FEA.T.S. the instructor can program different outcomes into the computer and even replay the offiâ€" cer‘s reactions in order to correct them. The computer is also portable, allowing police to temporarily pull patrol officers off the job for a quick test, often within their work shift. Barss,an officer with the Halifax police who was brought to Halton to train police on FA.T.S., says the sysâ€" tem is compulsory training for all Nova Scotia police forces. FA.T.S. replaces the old range type training and upgrades skills in an oft neglected area of policing â€"the 10 per cent of times police are faced with violent confrontation. The training should heighten offiâ€" cers‘ ability to expect violence in even the most placid of tasks such as disâ€" pensing traffic tickets. More Canadian police are murdered in situations involving the occupants of vehicles than in any other country on a per capita basis, says Barss. "The question is do we keep offiâ€" cers ignorant or do we condition them to assess and use appropriate judgeâ€" ments in these situations," says Barss. Halton Police Deputy Chief John Barratt says funding for the system was included in the police capital budâ€" get submission "a long time ago." Barratt says he was sold on the idea after trying the system when it was demonstrated at a police chiefs‘ conference several years ago. "I can see the value of it.It is coming at a time when officers are being held accountable more than ever in the use of force," he says. GIVE A DOG A BONE?
