I met this woman and her family at one of the shelters in our community five years ago. Occasionally we get the cynical comments about outreach related activities like “What does serving dinner (or #skateboarding, playing #basketball, #baseball #jiujitsu etc) have to do with police work?” I asked her what the dinners meant to her, and this was what she said they meant to her and her family ?????Posted @withrepost • @bellevuewapolicerecruiting #bellevue #police #outreach #aloha #makeadifference #policeweek2019 #wearehiring #protectbellevuedotcom

I don’t think I’ll ever try throwing someone as big as my friend Adam, but I’m very grateful that he allowed me to experience how that would feel with all the gear on. What takedowns would be most transferable and effective to our line of work?

#entertheburrito ?????Posted @withrepost • @bellevuewapolicerecruiting We are very fortunate to have some of the most talented #martialarts practitioners in the world teach at our station. When @10thplanetseattle black belt @nateorch10p stopped by he showed us a control /entry hold that he called the “burrito grip.” Nathan then demonstrated how this grip configuration can lead into several takedowns and clinch entries. We enjoyed it so much that it is now officially part of our #defensivetactics curriculum. Nathan is one of the best active Jiu-Jitsu competitors in the world and he teaches day and evening classes here in Bellevue. We are very lucky to have him in our #community.

Posted @withrepost • @bellevuewapolicerecruiting This week our community academy participants got treated to a fantastic PowerPoint presentation on use of force by our training coordinator officer Park. He discussed the rules of engagement for officers that are built on landmark cases like Graham v. Connor and Tennessee v. Garner. The group then got to check out our #defensivetactics room where Aurelio graciously volunteered to attack ofc Hanaumi in a unscripted demonstration. The only rules were that he had to keep moving forward with his assault. If he got on top of ofc Hanaumi, he was instructed to continue and not run away. Aurelio is about 20lbs heavier and 22 years younger than Ofc Hanaumi. What would an officer be justified in doing if he/she were attacked like this? Presuming that an officer was stuck on the bottom of a fight could he/she justify using a tool (taser, OC spray, knife, baton, firearm) to protect themself? If the answer is yes, how would that tool be safely accessed and retained from the bottom of the fight? How important is training? Is training available on-duty?

Lateral officers and new hires working hard today! @larryperreira and I having a blast sharing the effectiveness of the gentle art. Give him the Oscar for his acting ?????Posted @withrepost • @bellevuewapolicerecruiting The Vascular Neck Restraint (or 裸絞 in Japanese) is a grappling technique that has been used for several centuries. When properly applied, it is an effective and safe technique that will render a combative or potentially assaultive person unconscious in 4-7 seconds. There are millions of applications of this technique and several variations of carotid artery occlusion by #jiujitsu and #judo practitioners all over the world each year without any injury. Practitioners of those arts are often surprised to find out that many police departments place this technique at the same level of force as using a firearm. The bilateral compression of the carotid arteries allow a smaller person a realistic chance to survive and control someone who is much bigger and stronger.

The #graciesurvivaltactics level 1 course taught at @gracieuniversityhq is coming to Washington in June! Aside from incredible and potentially life-saving techniques, the course also covers how to effectively reteach what we learned to our coworkers. The instructor development piece is so good it could be a standalone course by itself! The best part however, was getting to connect with brothers and sisters in blue from other agencies all over the world like Officer Tran from Tukwila PD, who I met during a level 2 course. Super cool guy and an awesome #jiujitsu practitioner too! #Blessed to roll and learn from coworkers, instructors and peers who I consider friends. The GST was the beginning of my Jiu-Jitsu journey back in 2008, and think it it is still the best DT course out there ???⚫️?⚫️?? @kindredjiujitsu #bellevue #police #selfdefense #graciesurvivaltactics #jiujitsu #oahugrown #aiea #fitness #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

@uof.bpd with the ???! Monday motivation Posted @withrepost • @bellevuewapolicerecruiting How do you stay in shape? In theory, the Physical Abilites Test (PAT) is the easiest portion of the hiring process for entry level applicants because you know exactly what to expect before you take it. Aerobic and anaerobic fitness is often neglected in our line of work and it can sometimes be the difference between life and death. Officer Park (our department’s training coordinator)  shares why he believes it is an expectation in our line of work to periodically give everything you’ve got in training so your mind and body will be prepared to go there in real life. We are proud to say that we have never had a police recruit fail the PAT test, and that is in no small part due to ofc Park’s commitment to preparing our new hires for the academy. He discusses how our output in reality will be a reflection of our output in training, and how we should strive to do our very best not just for ourselves, but for our coworkers and for our #community! If what ofc Park said resonates with you, we’d love to have you on our #team! Our entry level hiring portal is open and lateral applicants are eligible for a limited time, 16k signing bonus!

Gi or nogi? I think it depends on what your goals in training are. If you’re training for #Fitness, do both. For #selfdefense? Do both. #MMA? nogi. For Fun? Do whichever one you find #fun! What do you think? I’ve never been good at using the lapels and sleeves for control or sweeps, but I LOVE the collar! A typical roll for me against someone who is bigger, stronger, younger, and a better overall grappler is just surviving from the bottom almost the entire time. But if you forget about your collar for a few seconds, I have a chance. Attack everything (with your instructor’s/training partner’s permission of course). Defend everything. Heel hooks should not be prohibited because you’re wearing gi pants. Day by day ????#tbt #bellevue #police #jiujitsu #tecnica #trainweeklyorfightweakly #protectbellevuedotcom

@mjracle_beastbyday2x is one of the best 8th grade #basketball players in #Washington. I have gotten to know her and her mom Tameek not through basketball, but through their service to our #community by helping us serve dinner each month at the Salvation Army. I got to see Mjracle play for the first time last summer and saw her hold her own against high school players at @jewellloyd’s camp. Mjracle has big hoop dreams this spring and summer that include traveling to several states to showcase her amazing gift. Unbelievably talented, and just a kind, good hearted human being. Go to the link in her bio if you would like to support her! ????⚫️?⚫️ #bellevue #police #outreach #aloha #ballinbynature #makeadifference #protectbellevuedotcom
