Last month during the annual International Law Enforcement Educators & Trainers Association (ILEETA) Conference, I attended a seminar entitled, “Shoot the Bad Guy, While You Dodge The Bullet” presented by Lee Shaykhet. You can find out more about Lee here at:www.shaykhettraining.com
Lee focused on effectively neutralizing the moving subject, while maintaining officer safety. I was thinking about this very effective training when I read about a threat to an NYPD officer which occurred on May 15 around midnight.
A Manhattan plainclothes officer was struck by a vehicle allegedly driven by a man who had stalked the officer and his partner because of an earlier conviction for a drug offense.
Officers ordered Joseph Dellutri to step back. Instead, he entered his minivan and pinned one officer against an iron fence. Dellutri backed his minivan up and drove forward to strike the officer again. The officer’s first move was to dive behind a tree. As a result, Joseph Dellutri missed the officer and drove away. He was apprehended shortly thereafter.
This officer is standing today due to his movements. He neutralized the threat. Had the officer held his position to draw his weapon that would not be the case.
