What is it to be a part of the 5%?

It’s an exceptional officer who is committed to outstanding performance on the job…and in life.

It’s an officer who is motivated, proactive and dedicated to peak performance through a steady regime of training and education.

It’s an officer who constantly pursues professional and personal improvement and proudly stands as a representation of the ideal in law enforcement.

It’s the kind of officer Calibre Press is dedicated to building and supporting.

During our Street Survival Seminar, we distribute wallet-sized laminated cards that have become very popular over the years. Each card contains twelve core commitments you can make to yourself that will help you be in the 5%.

Keep these in mind:

– I will understand stress and control it during critical incidents.

– I will seek out realistic training and remain committed to learning my craft.

– I will learn from my mistakes and the mistakes of others.

– I will know that more officers are killed in and around their vehicles than by gunfire.

– I will wear my seatbelt and body armor at all times.

– I will be well-versed in body language, pre-attack indicators, and deception.

– I will improvise, adapt and overcome adversity.

– I will assume nothing and adhere to the one-plus-one rule.

– I will use appropriate force when necessary.

– I will commit to maintaining balance and emotional health.

– I will keep myself in good physical shape.

– I will survive this career.
