Advanced Arrest & Control
POST Approved
 

Officers routinely lay hands on subjects while conducting pat down searches and arrests during their shift. Standard handcuffing training does not take into account resistance efforts leading to escalation. Officers trained in conventional Defensive Tactics often resort to the use of brute strength to overcome a resisting/combative subject resulting in potential loss of weapon or serious injury to the officer and subject. An efficient and quick arrest is not only safer but appears more professional to both the public and the court. This is an important consideration in reducing litigations for excessive use of force.
