Meet Officers Lewis and Clark-Exploring Situational Awareness
Submitted by Fred on Sat, 03/19/2011 - 11:49am.What if the famous explorers Lewis and Clark were police officers? How would they look at the multitude of situations that cops handle from their viewpoint as explorers? Back in their day they did not have two-way radios, cell phones, GPS,computers, and 6 inch policy and procedure books, but had to depend on their natural instincts and look at each exploration from a new and unique perspective observing their surroundings and trying to make sense of every situation. How much better would we be? How much safer on the street?

It was his way of grasping and understanding the concept of non-verbal communication as it relates to fine tuning his abilities of, pattern recognition and in understanding the subtle signs and signals of danger otherwise known as dangerous body language.
