New Paradigm of Police Firearms Training

The "Reality-Based New Paradigm of Police Firearms Training" is a police-specific firearms training program developed in 2000 by Michael E. Conti. Conti was serving as the Director of the Massachusetts State Police Firearms Training Unit at the time of its development.
This program was an anomaly of its type, as Conti didn't build the New Paradigm Training Program in the way that most police firearms training programs were built. He approached it from the perspective of "what do police officers actually do with their pistols when compelled by circumstances to use them in the real world?" Once that was established, he then built the program to better prepare them for those circumstances and events.
The history of the development of the New Paradigm Police Firearms Training Program is included in the text, Police Pistolcraft. This book was written by Conti and published by Saber Press in 2006.
