Image Based Decisional Drills

April 24, 2024

DEFINITION OF SUCCESS: To quickly make ONE good FIRST decision based on visual stimuli and instantly act on it. Be confident, decisive, efficient and explosive.

Image Based Decisional Drills (IBDD) is a dry fire or live fire exercise with a deck of image cards providing visual stimuli to assist students in quickly recognizing danger and making smart decisions prior to an actual life-threatening event. IBDD teaches students to assess the situation via a simulated scenario and react with a plausible course of action, allowing evaluation of strengths and weaknesses of the strategies in the context of the scenario.

Image Based Decisional Drills fill in the learning gap – before an emergency event – through use of images requiring students to make decisions, provoke a response, decide which tool(s) to use, then physically act on that decision, and store the most effective solution for quicker retrieval by the brain at a later time. IBDD supplies an avenue to learn good decision with simple, yet very effective techniques.

Topics include:

  • Proxemics
  • Altered perceptions
  • Proactive mindset
  • Criminal mindset
  • Cognitive stacking
  • Pre-assualt cues
  • The use of non-lethal, less than lethal and lethal tools
