Abstract

Abstract Police are sometimes required to conduct searches for hostile suspects or clear a building when an alarm sounds. These searches often times occur in low light conditions. Police will routinely use a flashlight to help with the search. This study evaluates three of the most commonly taught flashlight tactics to assess if any can reduce the likelihood of a police officer being shot by a hostile suspect. The study utilized a randomized controlled trial (n = 236) with random assignment to three test conditions. Ultimately, the study found the Dagger technique reduced the likelihood that participants playing the role of a hostile suspect would successfully shoot the officer in a controlled setting. This finding can directly impact how police officers are trained to operate in low light settings.

微光环境下光定位对嫌疑犯精度的影响
当警报响起时,警察有时需要对有敌意的嫌疑人进行搜查或清理建筑物。这些搜索通常发生在弱光条件下。警方将照例使用手电筒协助搜查。这项研究评估了三种最常用的手电筒战术,以评估是否有任何战术可以减少警察被敌对嫌疑人击中的可能性。该研究采用随机对照试验(n = 236),随机分配到三个测试条件。最终,研究发现,匕首技术降低了在受控环境下扮演敌对嫌疑人的参与者成功射杀警官的可能性。这一发现可以直接影响警察在低光环境下的操作训练。
