Riot Control Training

Riot-control training teaches officers how to manage large, agitated crowds while minimizing harm and maintaining order. This category includes instruction on crowd psychology, team formations, less-lethal options, and the communication strategies that influence how demonstrations evolve. Officers learn how to respond proportionally, professionally, and within policy.

Courses explore line movement, protective equipment, arrest teams, dispersal orders, and the tactical considerations for escalating or de-escalating force. Instructors emphasize discipline and coordination, as crowd events can shift rapidly based on both officer actions and external factors. Students also learn how to document decisions clearly for review.

Departments that train effectively for riot conditions reduce injuries, prevent property damage, and maintain public trust even during high-tension events. This category supports those responsibilities.
