Much of the training is focused on teaching officers to communicate clearly and deal with stressful situations, Glennon said. "We actually tell the officers, they are not hired mercenaries, they are civilian peace officers given an honorable position of trust and responsibility." "The training we offer and the expertise that we have is the type of training that the people worried about law enforcement in this country would want their people trained in," Glennon said. Illinois-based Calibre Press runs the training, and its owner Jim Glennon said those depictions of the company are "nonsense" and that BulletProof is being mischaracterized. "We don't think it's at all appropriate for police officers in Minnesota to be taking this training." "This training is an extremely dangerous, violent training that teaches police officers to really shoot first and ask questions later," Gross said. Michelle Gross of Communities United Against Police Brutality said the BulletProof training sets police officers up to be fearful of dealing with the public.
