In this video I share ten tactical tips for the everyday police officer that will make you more efficient, improve your life, and help you have a better shift. Here’s what we’ll cover:
0:00 - Intro
0:48 - Bulletproof Coffee
A quick and easy morning brew that will give you sustained energy and keep you from getting hungry. It’s perfect for the early morning SWAT operation, workout, run, or hike.
Ingredients:
- 1 Tbsp unsalted grass-fed butter
- 1 Tbsp coconut oil
- 16-20 oz. of coffee
Put it all in a blender and let ‘er rip!
2:33 - Tactical (Overnight) Oats
Here’s another option for making your mornings easier. Tactical oats have become a staple of mine and I share my recipe with you and show you how to make it.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of oats (use quick cooking oats if you are short on time)
- 2 Tbsp of chia seeds
- 1 to 2 Tbsp of natural peanut butter
- 1 cup of milk (almond milk works great too)
- Maple syrup to taste
Put it all in a mason jar, shake it up, and leave it in the fridge overnight. If you dodn’t make it the night before, keep in mind that both chia seeds and quick cooking oats take about 15 minutes to soften.
4:11 - How To Tie Your Shoes Like A Tactical Athlete
So you think you know how to tie your shoes? Think again! Maybe you’re sick of your shoes constantly coming untied or having unsightly, gigantic double knots that look wicked dumb, especially with dress shoes. I’ll show you how to tie a knot that is not big and bulky, will stay tied all day long, and is easy to untie.
5:49 - Tactical Badge Lanyard
If you’ve ever had your neck or chest hairs pulled by the chain that comes with your neck-badge, you know how shocking and painful that can be. I’ll show you a simple trick to stop that from happening. Your neck hairs will thank you!
9:15 - Tactical Breathing
We all get adrenaline dumps before we go operational, it’s totally normal. With that adrenaline comes an elevated heart rate and elevated breathing. To help calm yourself down and slow your heart rate you should try tactical breathing, also known as combat breathing. I walk you through the process and give you the tools you need to use it on the fly. You don’t need a yoga studio or a waterfall to reap the benefits.
10:53 - Keeper Savers
Having stubborn snaps on your keepers or pouches that you can’t open or close is really frustrating, and in some cases, even dangerous. I’ll show you how to get those snaps to finally behave themselves with this simple hack.
12:23 - Say Goodbye To Droopy Brass
Nothing says ‘soup sandwich’ like droopy, crooked brass on your uniform. Look sharper and make uniform transitions easier with this cheap and easy DIY solution.
15:25 - A Tactical Way To Carry Your Knife
You have less than a 1% chance of using your knife as a weapon instead of a tool while on duty. Plus, I can almost guarantee that when you were trained in weapon retention, it was only to protect your pistol and not a secondary weapon like a knife. For those reasons I show you how to carry your knife out of sight and out of mind so the only person who gets their hands on it is you, not a bad guy.
17:45 - How To Stage A Tourniquet & How To Carry A Tourniquet
Tourniquets have become the norm nowadays and every officer should carry one. Maybe you’ve been trained in Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) but you weren’t shown how to properly stage your tourniquet or how to carry one while in uniform. I will show you one method for staging your tourniquet so it doesn’t bind up and so that it’s easy to deploy. I will also give you some carrying options to increase the likelihood that you’ll have one with you at all times.
23:56 - Ten Things You Need In Your Kit
There’s a million things we could carry in our kit, on our vest, or in our go-bag or cruiser bag. I’ll share with you ten things I think are non-negotiable that will get you through the unexpected call for service or an extended SWAT operation. They don’t take up much space but will have a big impact on your readiness and effectiveness.
26:39 - BONUS TIP!
Stick around for the bonus tip to level-up your tactical game!
27:27 - BLOOPERS!
As if you didn’t have enough ammunition already to make fun of me, make sure you stay for the blooper reel at the end for a good laugh at my expense.
