National Law Enforcement Training Center

The NLETC Baton System was created to incorporate the long standing principles of the NLETC. The program starts with the basic patterns of movement and blocks that are fundamental to the NLETC’s Control Defensive Tactics System. The NLETC Baton System also incorporates the NLETC’s Handgun/Long Gun Retention & Disarming System. The NLETC Baton System includes, blocks, parry’s, locks and provides the student with options to control, cuff or disengage. 

​

In 2022 this entire course was revamped to utilize the baton more as a leverage tool and less as an impact tool. Though impact techniques still have their purpose and are still utilized and trained, the use of this tool as a lever and a hook has become more important in the world of growing litigation.
