In this comprehensive 5-day Missouri 40-Hour P.O.S.T. approved Instructor Program, we have designed a new program that will allow an Officer to seamlessly transition from Standing Techniques to Ground Techniques, with an emphasis on Officer Survival.
This seminar will award the participant with Defensive Tactics Instructor Certification that covers the following subjects:
-
Officer Entry Techniques – Closing the gap and taking control. We have found that closing the gap in a non-compliant arrest situation is a large part of the battle that Officers face. We teach DT Instructors real world techniques that close the gap quickly, and effectively seize control of an offender’s body from a variety of situations, whether it is simple passive non-compliant person, or a person that is actively attacking an Officer.
-
Physics Based Wrist, Arm and Shoulder Locks (locks that WORK!)
-
Standing Escort Techniques
-
Defenses against common attacks including punches, charges and grabs.
-
Gross Motor skill takedowns such as Single Leg, Double Leg & Body-fold takedowns as examples.
-
Manipulating a subject on the ground into a handcuffing position once a takedown has been achieved.
-
Ground Survival which will include emergency ground techniques that will allow an Officer to defend himself against an attack designed to take the Officer to the Ground. This block of instruction is designed to give a Defensive Tactics Instructor the confidence to deliver a 4-hour block of training on emergency ground survival to their Officers. This Program will also lay the foundation to the DT Instructor that wants to progress and take our advanced Master Ground Instructor Program. This is a NEW program that is designed to give the DT Instructor practical EMERGENCY SURVIVAL SKILLS FOR THE GROUND.
-
Power Handcuffing, and Handgun/Long gun Retention (including ground handgun retention)
Note: There is an additional $50 charge to change electives less than 48 hours before the specific class.
