POST PLAN II
DESCRIPTION:
The course is designed to provide the law enforcement defensive tactics instructor with the technical and instructional skills necessary to instruct in the areas of weaponless defense, impact weapons and mechanics of arrest. The curriculum encompasses the various force options and force transitions relative to escalation and de-escalation. The course curriculum is structured toward the integration of use of force procedures, thereby providing the instructor the capability of training officers to appropriately address the entire use of force spectrum in law enforcement situations.
The course will also teach techniques for surviving an assault that continues after the law enforcement officer has been taken to the ground. Emphasis will be placed on falling techniques which minimize the disabling effects of impact with the ground, ground grappling responses and escapes, ground grappling control procedures, personal weapons and the carotid restraint. The procedures and techniques will be integrated with confrontation-oriented equipment to better address the ever-changing scenario of confrontation and real life work situations.
Integration of firearms and small unit tactical arrest scenarios make this course ideal for agency, tactical team and narcotics team defensive tactics instructors.
