Annotation
THIS POLICE TRAINING FILM ILLUSTRATES BOTH CORRECT AND INCORRECT HANDLING OF SINGLE SHOT AND RAPID FIRE SHOTGUNS, INCLUDING LOADING AND UNLOADING AND SAFETY PRECAUTIONS.
Abstract
EMPHASIZED IS THE FACT THAT PATROL OFFICERS SHOULD KNOW AND RESPECT THEIR SHOTGUN, KNOW WHEN THEY HAVE THE LEGAL AND MORAL RIGHT TO SHOOT, KNOW WHAT AMMUNITION CAN AND CANNOT DO, KNOW THE PSYCHOLOGY OF THE SHOTGUN, AND KNOW AND PRACTICE SHOTGUN SAFETY. THE USE AND EFFECT OF DIFFERENT TYPES OF SHOTGUN AMMUNITION IS ALSO DEMONSTRATED. IN ADDITION, THIS FILM SHOWS THE POSSIBLE CONSEQUENCES OF CARELESS HANDLING OF POLICE SHOTGUNS AND AMMUNITION. AN INSTRUCTOR'S GUIDE ACCOMPANIES THE FILM.
