Defensive Tactics Workshop
This course will be modified to the level of expertise in the audience and
can be adapted in the classroom for multiple levels of experience and
understanding.
Training Goals and Objectives
The goal of the training program is to prepare and condition the individual
officer to safely apply subject control, containment and threat
neutralization techniques in both the patrol and tactical environments.
Additionally, the course will concentrate on the application of alternative
force application tools (less lethal) and impact weapons. Further, the
program will focus on developing an understanding of use of force,
techniques to gain subject compliance, and to safely control individuals.
Training Audience, Format and Content
This is an advanced skill development course designed for the first
responder or first line supervisor, currently involved in public safety
activities
This course is most successful when taught and received with audiences of 30
officers or fewer, but has been given in groups of 100 or more with
successful reviews. The smaller groups enable officers to have more direct
dialog & contact with the instructors and the other students.
The course is designed in 3 day sessions with each day involving the
exploration of a different topic and the reinforcement of previous learned
material. The course is generally designed to run from 0800 to 1600 hours
daily, but can be manipulated for evenings and extended days as needed.
