A Nationally Accredited Law Enforcement Training Academy

The student will learn the importance of creating distance and seeking cover when confronted by a subject armed with an edged weapon or blunt force weapon. The student will also learn officer safety techniques that can be employed to possibly disarm a subject armed with an edged weapon or blunt force weapon.

The class includes practical hands-on exercises which help students to practice and refine the learned techniques. Students, therefore, need to bring their leather duty gear and personal protection (mouth piece & groin).

The following topics will be covered:

- The class includes a Control Tactics Refresher block
- The importance of creating distance when confronted by a subject armed with an edged weapon or blunt force weapon
- The importance of seeking “cover” when confronted by a subject armed with an edged weapon or blunt force weapon
- Officer safety techniques that can be employed to possibly disarm a subject that is armed with an edged weapon or blunt force weapon.
