We have a capacity problem when it comes to training that many people. Discussions up to this point have focused on a train the trainer approach.
You have to be careful. It's not an issue of training on the use of firearms; it's training on the use of force. The use of a firearm is only one element in the force continuum. When you talk about an intervention with an individual, you have to start first with dialogue. The use of force is an escalating process, the final stage being the use of a firearm. So it's quite a comprehensive thing to undertake. In this particular case we just don't have the capacity to take that on. The training of 7,000 officers is a significant job.
We are, however, working with the border agency in order to provide their trainers with the training that they would then deliver within their own agency.
