Introducing the New Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint (LVNR?) System
Jim Lindell
After years of requests from law enforcement trainers to provide more training materials in order to teach the LVNR? in a more comprehensive way, it has finally been done. There is now a new training text and a new video for the Lateral Vascular Neck Restraint System. The two formats complement each other as the digital photos in the text were taken during the video shoot.
The new programs cover the previous techniques and include another tactic, the Front Lying LVNR?, especially developed for close-quarters control, such as in the aisle of public transportation vehicles, including planes, trains and buses. This new LVNR? tactic was a part of the practical exercises for the Travel Defense System?, developed and presented for the first time at the 21st Annual National Law Enforcement Training Center Seminar in Kansas City, Missouri.
In addition, the programs include new medical descriptions provided by Fabrice Czarnecki, M.D., National Trainer and Medical Consultant, and Robert Bragg, National Trainer and Exercise Physiologist, Criminal Justice Training Center, Seattle, Washington.
Sections on post care handling of an unconscious person and resuscitation now include photos of these processes. Tactical applications of the LVNR? have been expanded to include information on using department issued equipment in conjunction with LVNR? application. Systematic LVNR? tactics from escort to standing, kneeling and back lying ? and as mentioned, front lying ? are in this new text. Defenses against assault leading into an LVNR? control are described in detail for a wide range of frontal attacks.
This new text is an enhanced resource for trainers to allow them to better teach what they have learned in the past. Basic training will be made easier for officers who do better with visual cues when training. With the new text, legal advisors, administrators, supervisors and trainers will be better able to evaluate the possibilities of LVNR? use for their reasonable use-of-force training programs.
Many may be surprised at how comprehensive the use of the LVNR? can be. Not at all a one-dimensional tactic, the LVNR? can now be seen graphically as a truly safe and versatile, total system of subject control and officer safety and survival tactics. The expertise, discipline and restraint shown by NLETC trainers certified in the LVNR? System can now be fully appreciated by those new to the ranks of LVNR? users and soon-to-be supporters.
