I really enjoyed the class tonight, Brian brought in the shirts for us to try on and order how many we want. We started the class by finishing off lesson 1 learning about how to defuse challenges from a citizen in policing such as Ignoring and blocking. We then finished the class by performing scenarios such as telling someone that there most precious item was destroyed. Practicing the bonding, purpose and resolution tactics. We then learned how to write and take proper statements of a witness. Each class is getting more and more interesting for myself, I could sit there all day and learn how to perform police procedures and tactics. I look forward more and more everyday to becoming a member of the RCMP or any police force.

Like Brian had us assigned to do, I have talked to 3 people since last class. All the people I talked to were friendly and very nice to interact with. I talked with 2 gentleman at the gym, and a girl from TRU. All the conversations where not long they mostly where introductions of one and other and how thier day has been going. This assignment was a good way of interacting with new people, and I hope to use these skills for the future when meeting new people.

Tonight's class was very enjoyable Brian taught the class effective verbal and non verbal ways of communication, listening, hearing and active listening. He also taught us how to apply the three tactical communication strategies which are Bonding, Purpose and resolution. At the end of the class Brian made the class adventure around campus and just talk to people who were sitting around, this was an excellent way to practice communication skill I look forward to next class. REMINDER! make sure to talk to at least three people around campus and make note of it here.

Tonight our group started the Tactical Communication skills class taught by Brian Cassell, so far he has given us a brief overview of what we will be doing in the current semester. Also he made us participate in a short activity where we introduced a fellow classmate to the entire class. I look forward to what Brian has to teach us, and the skills we will be developing that relates to police and justice.
