From video: What Cops Want You To Do (But Don't Tell You) After a Shooting
Published: January 31, 2026

Video Description

You’ve survived the fight for your life—now you have to survive the police arrival and the legal battle that follows. In this video, we step away from firearms training to discuss the critical moments after a self-defense incident. As a police officer, I’ve seen firsthand how chaotic these scenes are. Dispatch rarely has the full story, and when officers arrive, they aren't looking for the "good guy"—they are looking to secure the scene. If you aren't prepared for how to handle the police arrival, a tragic situation can quickly get much worse. Don’t wait until the handcuffs are on to think about your legal representation. Check out the links below to research legal defense programs that fit your needs. (Note: Do your own due diligence to find the right plan for you). These are some program options: USCCA: https://www.usconcealedcarry.com/referral?id=MDAxMGEwMDAwMWZWeWhSQUFT&tID=5bf43111b0cd6 Right to Bear Arms: https://alnk.to/5Fe1Bjr CCW Safe: https://ccwsafe.com/ref/B13853994 In this video, we cover: * The "Secure the Scene" Mindset: Why police will treat you like a suspect initially and why compliance is your best friend. * The 911 Call: The 4 critical pieces of information you must give dispatch (and why you should stop talking after that). * Hands and Weapons: How to stage your firearm and position your hands so you aren't perceived as a threat. * The Three Fights: Understanding the Physical, Legal, and Emotional battles that follow any critical incident. * Adrenaline & "Diarrhea of the Mouth": Why what you say in the heat of the moment can be used against you in court forever. Key Takeaway: You cannot take back the things you say or do when the police arrive. Be calm, be compliant, and be prepared.
