TRAINING BULLETIN

Practical And Tactical Handcuffing (PATH) Instructor’s Course July 14, 2008
Handcuffs are among the most often used tool by officers, yet training is severely lacking. Studies show that over 67% of resistance by subjects occurs after the first handcuff has been applied. All too often the result is injury and/or death to either the officer or subject.
This eight hour instructor course is the most complete and innovative handcuffing course in the country. The techniques presented are practical and effective. Topics to be covered include the safest approach and positioning for handcuffing, handcuffing resistive subjects, removing handcuffs, and the use of various types of cuffs, among others.
Oleoresin Capsicum Aerosol Training (OCAT) Instructor’s Course July 15, 2008

Today, baton training must be appropriate and reasonable as defined by contemporary community and law enforcement standards. In a phrase, training must be court defensible. The Council's certification programs are appropriate, reasonable, and court defensible.
All classes lead to a 4-year instructor’s certification.
