Defensive Tactics Training

Defensive tactics form the physical skillset officers rely on when verbal communication is no longer enough. This category includes training in control holds, takedowns, joint manipulation, ground survival, and weapon-retention techniques. Students learn how to manage resistive subjects while maintaining officer safety and minimizing injury to everyone involved.

Courses emphasize body mechanics, timing, and the importance of conditioning. Instructors highlight the differences between training environments and real-world encounters, helping officers adapt techniques under stress. Officers also learn how defensive tactics fit within use-of-force policy and how to articulate their actions clearly in reports and court.

Proper defensive-tactics training builds confidence, reduces injuries, and reinforces responsible force application. This category supports officers in mastering the physical skills required on patrol.
