Re: durban flying squad
we have to go shooting min once a year. We go about once every 6 months these days. I think most Will be surprised at the shooting skills of the average sap member.

Re: durban flying squad
Just by quiclky looking at the one video clip, I can not help to be amazed that not more Police members are killed every year, I feel for them as their training are lacking so badly, lucky it seems to me that there are a lot of Angels pulling heavy overtime to keep our members in Blue safe, to compensate for the "bad" skills and training they receive.

Re: durban flying squad
Is it policy to approach a vehicle with your pistol drawn BUT at your side? Is there a legal reason they are not at least at 45% ?
Seems strange to me.

Re: durban flying squad
Don't SAP officers have take a street survival course now that replaced the old COIN training they recieved in the 80's and early 90's? A friend of mine who is a law enforcement officer in the US did a ride along with a dog unit in jo'berg and was surprised how squared away the guys were. Very good shooters, although this may have been because the guys he was with were gun buffs. This guy had worked in the worst US city in the country and couldn't believe how much SAPS guys see.

Re: durban flying squad
Francis, I have seen the development of the street survival course, and had the pleasure of seeing it being taught, needles to say it is still stuck somewhere in the 80's very alarming and bad to say the least!
