Advanced Defensive Tactics & Handcuffing Course

The Defensive Tactics and Handcuffing course is designed to assist the Security Officer with defensive tactics in conjunction with handcuffing. This course picks up where our regular handcuffing class leaves off. Research has indicated that security officers can reduce the risk of injury to themselves and persons they are apprehending with proper training.

The class is part lecture and part physical training with students using mats to conduct training. Students are required to wear loose, comfortable clothing and are required to wear a tennis or sneaker type shoe. The benefits to this training program are the reduction in officer/suspect injuries, reduced exposure to civil/criminal liability and the increase in security officer safety.
