Benefits and Effectiveness of Producing a Police Dog Training Video

There’s always a lot of discussion in the media about budget cuts and reducing expenses among law enforcement on the local and the national level. One of the ways that many agencies seek to scale back budgets and save money is to cut out vital law enforcement training or to minimize the training programs that officers engage in. Sadly, this doesn’t help anyone! But what if law enforcement training could still take place with your agency and it didn’t have to be overly expensive? Producing a police dog training video represents one way to reduce training costs without reducing training effectiveness.

Police department training is something that is consistently discussed — in-house, at home, and in-between. The amount of budget, time, and equipment that goes into police dog training and that are allocated to other forms of law enforcement training is constantly under the radar. Here’s where the use of police dog training videos can improve the bottom line & the training effectiveness of law enforcement officers.

Consistent Training from the Best

Officer training is not nationally standardized, and in many ways, it’s not standardized on a local level either. Rather, traditional training of law enforcement to work with their police dog partner takes place in a mix of a classroom setting and individual study. Classroom training leaves the opportunity for officers to learn from different teachers and the potential for certain subjects or topics to be more widely covered than others. However, the use of a police dog training video to teach officers provides a consistency that cannot otherwise be found with traditional classroom training.

Pooled Training Resources

With budget cuts and logistics being cut short, officer training, including police dog training, is being cut short and scaled back in many ways. Agencies rarely have the ability to pool resources together to get the maximum training value from their budget and their resources. A police dog training video has the power to reduce training costs while pooling training resources between agencies. Specialized training can be shared, via video, between multiple forces or agencies for maximum training without maximizing the cost. What if training videos were shared on a state level to agencies statewide? Imagine the savings!

Blending Learning Opportunities

Finally, the use of a police dog training video offers law enforcement a more blended learning opportunity that will result in significantly higher engagement and improved retention of the content that they learn. Rather than spending hours in a classroom or similar training setting, police dog training video content can reproduce scenarios between officers that will work alongside appropriate lessons and subjects to help the officer better engage. Further, lessons can be broken down into several digestible chunks that are easier to engage in and to retain.
