Mayor de Blasio and Police Commissioner Bratton gave details on the NYPD's new three-day training that all officers will attend.
The three day training will cover different topics ranging from using discretion, effective communication techniques to de-escalate situations, and tactical skills.
Approximately 20 thousand patrol officers will be trained first and then the remaining members of the Department will receive the training. The NYPD members being trained includes police officers as well as supervisors and police executives. Officers from the same commands will be training together to help them work as a team while performing patrol in the communities they serve.
