| Police Rifles and Building a Better Gunfighter. He currently serves as the Law Enforcement Firearms columnist at PoliceOne.com.
Dick was an early proponent of patrol rifles and led that movement through his writing and training activities. Following the Columbine incident, Mr. Fairburn conducted an in-depth analysis of historical active shooter incidents, which determined the first generation of Rapid Deployment/Active Shooter Response training was inadequate. Many agencies have now adapted their Rapid Deployment training to utilize smaller Contact Teams and to include Bounding Overwatch and other team movement tactics. Mr. Fairburn earned a B.S. in Law Enforcement Administration from Western Illinois University and was the Valedictorian of his recruit class at the Illinois State Police Academy. This class will focus on the role of a street-level police leader. In particular, we will discuss the leadership skills necessary to effectively lead a small team of officers into the Kill Zone of a critical incident. Learning Objectives Define the distinction between Leadership and Management and present techniques for training the leadership skills necessary for handling critical incidents. Outline the characteristics and skills necessary for a Leader to perform a risk analysis and develop a hasty plan in a dangerous environment. Emphasize the need for training Leaders in a hands-on, scenario-based atmosphere. Describe the Leader’s role in non-critical incident missions; such as training, debriefing, after-action report generation, and post-incident support and counseling.
