I've been listening to Scott Reitz's podcasts this weekend:

https://internationaltactical.com/podcast.html

I recommend episodes 3 and 4. Even though the subject's LE training, the discussion often moves into things the armed citizen should know.

EPISODE 3: In this episode we interview LAPD Sgt. Andy Markel, who spent 30+ years on LAPD and held numerous roles including being a pistol, shotgun and carbine instructor, Use of Force Expert Witness, and concluded his career as the OIC (Officer in Charge) of the LAPD Tactics Training Unit. Topics Discussed Include: Teaching tactics to officers, Connecting with and motivating young officers, Changing trends in Use of Force methods deployed by LAPD, Getting a team of instructors on the same page, The importance of understanding your department's policy, Tips for success in a Use of Force trial, Understanding depositions... what NOT to do, What is expected of an expert witness, Details about Use of Force cases Sgt. Markel has worked.

EPISODE 4: In this episode we interview LAPD Lt. II Kevin Burke, who has been with the LAPD for 21 years. During his tenure he has worked patrol, gangs, gang detectives and robbery as a Sergeant and Lieutenant. For the past year, Lt. Burke has been assigned as the Bureau Gang Coordinator for Operations-South Bureau (OSB), overseeing the Gang and Narcotics Details for four LAPD Areas and approximately 150 officers and detectives. Over the previous 10 years, Lt. Burke was assigned to Force Investigation Division (FID), where he was a supervisor of one of the investigative teams. He has been involved in or supervised over 100 cases during his time at FID. He and his team had the responsibility to respond to all categorical use of force incidents. He was responsible for overseeing the investigation of crime scenes, interviewing involved officers, suspects and witnesses, analyzing and interpreting the evidence, summarizing the statements of all involved officers and percipient witnesses and producing a thorough, complete and unbiased report. In addition, he presented his findings to the Chief of Police, the Use of Force Review Board and the Board of Police Commissioners for final adjudication.
