  1. Training Videos Provide Scenarios-Based Training for Fast Thinking

Strategic thinking is absolutely essential for police officers, and they’re expected to think this way on their toes with seconds or even milliseconds to spare in many instances. A split second decision can result in dire consequences for the officer, or for the public, depending on the nature of the scenario.  

With scenarios-based interactive police mediation training videos, you can provide your officers with the training they need to make split second decisions under pressure. These types of videos make it possible for officers to become fully immersed in the training while path-based options allow the officer to make decisions and immediately see the impacts of the decision. 

  1. Training Videos Provide Story-Based Scenarios that Officers Can Resonate With

Providing police mediation training videos that utilize storytelling and characters that resemble people within the community which an officer may come into contact with can create a training scenario that your officers can relate with. For example, providing training on the cultures that officers might come into contact with and the ways that they can respect those cultures and work with civilians to provide support that takes into consideration the importance of respecting members of society with different cultures can prepared officers for de-escalation of civilian issues.

By making characters and the stories that they are incorporated into directly relative to the cases and situations that officers will deal with on a day-to-day basis, police mediation training videos are more likely to stick with your officers in a way that they’ll recall during times of need so that they can best put that training to use.

  1. Training Videos are Safe

Rather than place police officers into a scenario in which they are unsafe and must think fast, providing police mediation training videos ahead of time to help them learn the various skills that they may need to while on the job. Training videos make learning the various communication processes and behaviors that are essential to police mediation safe for officers to learn and engage with.

Teaching everything from safety in social interactions to etiquette and the values of diversity and sensitivity are all vital topics to cover with mediation training videos. Each of these topics, as well as many others can make officers more comfortable when they experience public situations or civilian situations where they must engage and mediate to alleviate disputes.

  1. Training Videos Provide Visual References for Officers

The use of training videos to provide police mediation training is essential because video gives officers a visual connection to the training that is being provided. Rather than read about things like active listening and body language which can be difficult to understand with written word, training videos provide key visual cues that will help officers to understand exactly what is expected of them during the training as well as to be able to directly relate with the details that are being taught as part of the training program.

  1. Training Videos are Easier to Follow Along With

Finally, police mediation training videos are incredibly easy to follow along with and allow officers to train and learn at their own pace. With short, topic based training that officers can engage with on their own time and from virtually anywhere that is comfortable to them, training videos provide the ideal training experience. Because video is easy to see and hear, officers gain significantly more out of video based training than they will if they were to read a training manual, sit in a classroom training program, or otherwise engage in training activities that are delivered through other means.
