Question: Are you trained to shoot in the leg to neutralize a threat?

Chief McClelland: Police officers are not trained to shoot to kill. They are trained to shoot for the largest portion of a body. You should try the simulator outside. If we shot to kill we would aim for the head. We are trained to shoot to stop the threat which means shooting for the largest portion of the body.

You should follow commands when an officer tells you to do something.
