Biomechanics of Lethal Force Encounters - Officer Movements (2002)
Primary tabs
First parargraph from Biomechanics of Lethal Force Encounters - Officer Movements (2002):
It is my intent to investigate the dynamics and biomechanics (the mechanics of biological and muscular activity) that occur in officer-involved shootings in a series of research studies. The first of the series started with measuring subject behavior in shooting situations (The Best of the Police Marksman, Vol, II. See page 5). The next phase starts with determining and measuring the fundamentals of shooting motions that officers perform in lethal force encounters. I'm aware that officer behavior in shooting situations can be much more complex than the elementary mechanics of drawing and firing or moving and firing that are measured in this study.
