Mindset is Your First Line of Defense
Tactical, physiological, and psychological responses to life-threatening situations are discussed, in an effort, to maximize an Animal Control officer’s potential of surviving and prevailing such encounters. We analyze human reactions under such circumstances and how to prepare for such encounters.
