Peacekeepers Training

Well a nice surprise was in the mailbox today.

05/20/2026

After meticulously viewing 1000s of OIS here’s what we continue to document:

We generally don’t see:

Braced kneeling, of any kind.
Shoulder transitions on rifle.
Slug select on 12ga.
Rifle to handgun transitions.
Multiple lethal threats.
Patrol rifle magnifiers being utilized.
Reloads with retention.
Shooting on the move, towards a threat.
Patrol rifle dot to iron sight transition.
Proactive prone engagement.
Shooting to trigger reset.
Transitions from handheld light to handgun WML.
Braced barricade work.
Patrol rifles / handguns being used through loopholes.
Auditory lethal cues.
Failure drills being needed.

We usually see:

Draw stroke under rapid reactive movement.
Muzzle orientations in confined spaces (door procedures, vehicles, mobile homes, arrest cover etc).
One handed shooting (handheld light, radio in hand, entangled with someone, less lethal tool etc).
Proactive movement to sudden stop and engagement.
Rapid transitions from LL to lethal.
Handgun crush grip with aggressive trigger pressing.
Reactive prone engagement.
Decision observation in compressed timelines.
Visual lethal cues.

This is not comprehensive by any means and the lists for both could go on and on…

There are always going to be exceptions to the above and I’m not saying don’t train the first list ever. I am highlighting from a program management standpoint; when examining the limited amount of training time & logistics available of academy / in-service a bulk of our attention should be on high probability needs / solutions.

When the Clock Starts Ticking

🎙️ KEYNOTE SPEAKER: David Dixon

In a critical incident, every second matters. Decisions made in the first moments of chaos often determine outcomes—and preparation before the crisis is what makes the difference when the clock starts ticking.

David Dixon brings nearly four decades of ministry leadership and more than 35 years in law enforcement to this powerful keynote on readiness, response, and leadership under pressure. As Executive Director of Operations for Second Baptist Church, David has spent nearly 40 years helping lead and protect one of the nation’s largest church environments. Simultaneously serving as a Texas police officer for over three decades, he currently holds the position of sworn Police Commissioner for the City of Spring Valley.

A former Special Response Team member, active shooter instructor, and nationally respected church security expert, David has trained countless leaders and security teams to respond decisively when emergencies unfold without warning.

In “When the Clock Starts Ticking,” David will address:

• The reality of time-compressed decision-making during violent incidents
• How churches can prepare before a crisis occurs
• Leadership principles that matter during emergencies
• Training, coordination, and response strategies for ministry teams
• Lessons learned from decades in both ministry operations and law enforcement

Blending practical experience, operational insight, and a deep understanding of ministry culture, David delivers a compelling message on what it truly takes to protect people when every moment counts.
