Polis has been directed by BJA to work closely with selected police agencies and academies across the U.S. to pilot new, evidence-based training content and methods. Building on extensive research on high-risk decision-making, ADAPT modules are based on the premise that defensive training should focus on situations, not techniques. Training officers to recognize and quickly adapt to unpredictable, dynamic situations is far superior to teaching isolated techniques. Due to the situation-based nature of the ADAPT curriculum, each module is developed in a flexible template format that allows agencies to customize key areas related to law, policies, procedures, and tactics. To better assess the functionality of ADAPT Basic Skills Module 1, a focus group was established to introduce the module and situation-based model and to elicit feedback from our ADAPT partners.
