The Dayton Police Department rolled out the red carpet<br />
providing an opportunity for officers representing federal,<br />
state and local agencies to explore training in the areas of<br />
leadership, teamwork, warrior mindset and professional<br />
courage. Dayton City Police Chief Richard Biehl said it<br />
best: "We live in a Nation where we need warrior energy. It is<br />
crucial to our survival."<br />
Attendees left inspired and with a healthier, empowered<br />
warrior mindset and a greater knowledge base of leadership,<br />
teamwork and super-vision!<br />
Of course we brought what we do best; training in the "hard<br />
to kill skills" areas including weapons training, functional<br />
fitness for females, combatives and power<br />
development/delivery, officer down-self help and buddy<br />
rescue as well as providing networking opportunities each<br />
evening.<br />
Lt. Kim Hill: "I had no idea women like you existed." Yes<br />
Lieutenant, and we're building more every day!<br />
<strong>LouKa</strong> <strong>Tactical</strong> was well represented bringing seven<br />
instructors. An outstanding learning environment was enjoyed<br />
by all....so looking forward to the next one!
