Over the past two years, we have seen several violent ambush attacks on police officers, patrol vehicles and stationhouses.
In September 2020, two Los Angeles deputies were shot and critically wounded after a gunman approached their patrol vehicle and started firing at the officers. In October 2020, two officers were ambushed in New Orleans by a man in a pedicab, one officer was shot in the face. And in February 2021, a gunman used a doorbell camera to ambush and kill two FBI agents.
In this on-demand webinar, sponsored by Leonardo, you will learn about:
- Recent trends in ambush attacks
- Ambush prevention and response strategies, and
- How to recognize factors involved in ambush attacks.
The speaker also answers questions relating to minimizing the risk of being ambushed during foot pursuits, target hardening best practices for police stations and addressing ambush risks during barricaded suspect calls.
