A key component of officer safety is always keeping your head up and working all your tools without looking at them (ie. reloading our fire arm, firing your taser, using your spray, etc.). I know for a fact the majority of Canadian departments focus on the fact that you should be able to close your eyes and use all your tools...I know it may seem like common sense to look and I have no idea on these guys training, but there is a reason they wouldn't.
