Police Procedures And Defensive Tactics Training Manual

Devoted primarily to illustrating basic officer survival techniques, this police training manual also outlines the elements of a basic training course and selected training issues, such as riot control and search and seizure. Divided into three sections, the text begins with a police department training program guide outlining the topics that must be covered in preparing an officer for the field. Police-community relations, field situation inquiries, and patrol pointers, methods and skills are suggested training topics, along with court appearances, water safety and rescue methods, the care and use of firearms, methods of unarmed self-defense, and the theory, methods, and techniques of traffic accident investigation. The second section deals with ongoing concerns and situations which the law enforcement officer must be prepared to confront daily. These range from such basic considerations as the Miranda requirements to such special concerns as riot control, bomb threats, searches and seizures, and dealing with drunks. The final and longest section illustrates and discusses basic self-defense tactics and exercises designed to better equip officers for survival in the field. Stressing the overriding importance of avoiding over-control and acts of brutality, the text makes substantial use of sequence photographs to demonstrate blocking and counterattack exercises, kicking techniques, free fighting tactics, and defenses against common types of suspect resistance or attack. Come-along holds, control holds for handcuffing suspects, and baton and strangulation techniques are also illustrated, as are defensive approaches to suspects in automobiles. References and an index are provided.

This ground breaking book is the first law enforcement defensive tactics publication that realistically addresses the limited training that law enforcement officers currently receive. This book concentrates on avoiding the initial attack, moving to safety, deploying a secondary weapon, and surviving the attack. Concepts are based upon extensive research, a landmark study by the International Association of Chiefs of Police, and street experience. The book stresses core concepts, proper body mechanics, and proven survival principles. Each chapter ends with drills to increase mental awareness, physical skills, and survivability tips.

This is a manual will be of interest to not only all Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics Instructors, but to anyone in the law enforcement field who is concerned about the facts and fallacies floating around this field. The following are just a sample of the questions this basic guide will answer: - Is law enforcement defensive tactics a science - Do the techniques and tactics you were taught always work on the street - What is reality based training as it applies to defensive tactics - Is there any formal martial art which is perfect for police officers - Should officers be taught striking techniques - Is the PR-24 Police Baton just a Tonfa - Is training once a year sufficient to remain competent in defensive tactics

The dramatic increase in the popularity and practice of the martial arts and their use against law enforcement personnel has given rise to a new and disturbing problem between police and certain segments of the public. Therefore the Michigan Law Enforcement Officers' Training Council has developed an advanced police training course to provide participating police officers with functional and operational knowledge of karate, kung-fu, and the other martial arts. The course covers these techniques, warning signs that will assist the officer in identifying individuals skilled in the martial arts, and information as to what the officer should be prepared for in confrontation situations with these individuals. The five-day, 40 hour training course curriculum reviews the use and potential of the human body; stances, targets, and techniques; and offensive and defensive techniques for use against armed and unarmed opponents. Other defensive tactics outlined and illustrated include baton techniques for use against armed and unarmed opponents and last resort techniques. This instructor's manual lists course training objectives, provides a class outline and schedule, and presents procedures for conducting the actual program and evaluating and grading students.
