This book covers "Officer Survival Skills, Use of Force, Soft Empty Hand Control, Hard Empty Hand Control" issues for law enforcement officer. The most important priority of the officer is able to survive in dangerous situations. Survival techniques, if properly applied, provide the officer an opportunity to overcome the resistive behavior of subjects. These techniques also provide officers with self-confidence, which is needed to "win". The primary responsibility of the law enforcement officer is to protect life, and ensure public order. They are authorized to use a range of force options to preserve the peace, prevent crimes, maintain order, and apprehend suspects. Soft empty hand techniques are the first option of physical response used to restrain a person who is resisting. By developing a high degree of proficiency with soft empty hand techniques, the officer will be able to respond in a more effective manner, with a minimal amount of force. Hard Empty Hand Control techniques are defined as striking techniques. They are always defensive not offensive. These techniques are used to control active aggression, with empty hands and feet, when the intermediate use of weapons is justified, but are not tactically available. Topics and techniques presented in this book will be of both great interest and great value to trainers and students of law enforcement.
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 text presents techniques and information to help police officers avoid being disarmed by a suspect (take-away incidents) and then injured or killed with their own or their partner's weapon. The opening chapter on conditioning emphasizes the importance of the officer's mental as well as physical readiness. Strength, endurance, and agility requirements, an integral part of police testing and academy regimen, are necessary for the survival of active duty officers. The times within the arrest procedure when an assault is most likely to occur are identified, and ways to distinguish between passive and potentially violent subjects or situations are discussed. Fourteen case studies illustrate the errors, lack of preparation, poor training, or other deficiencies that make take-away incidents possible. Specific lessons to be learned are enumerated along with each case: search the suspects before requesting identification; never leave one officer alone with the suspect; never cuff a suspect's hand in front of his body, etc. The chapter on 'games cons play' uses photographs to illustrate the varied techniques criminals use against police officers in confrontations. Next, the Downey-Roth weapon retention technique is introduced. Its chief principle is that since action is faster than reaction, violation of the danger zone (the area within which the officer is vulnerable to a suspect's grab or kick) should be guarded against. The three factors present in weapon retention -- distance and timing, holsters that can prevent the illicit withdrawal of the weapon, and techniques that are well-rehearsed and answer countermeasures are outlined. Photographs and case studies illustrate the nine techniques, including countering approaches from the front, rear, and side to seize either holstered or drawn weapons.
Additional resources for survival reading are listed following the last chapter. Written for the law enforcement student, rookie officer, police supervisor, veteran cop, deputy or trooper, this text repeatedly emphasizes the value of common sense in mastering the threats of the job."--BOOK JACKET.
This book covers "Officer Survival Skills, Use of Force, Soft Empty Hand Control, Hard Empty Hand Control, Weapon Retention and Gun Disarming, Handcuffing, Conducting Suspect Searches, and Defensive Baton " issues for law enforcement officer. The most important priority of the officer is able to survive in dangerous situations. These techniques provide officers self-confidence, which is needed to "win". Law enforcement officers are authorized to use a range of force options to preserve the peace, prevent crimes, maintain order, and apprehend suspects. Soft empty hand techniques are the first option of physical response used to restrain a person who is resisting. Hard Empty Hand Control techniques are defined as striking techniques. In some close encounters, a suspect may try to grab the officer's sidearm. Officers must develop a defensive awareness that their weapon can be snatched. Handcuffs are temporary restraining devices designed to control the movements of a subject. Body searching is a careful, systematic examination of the suspect at the scene of a crime, or immediately after apprehension. A trained officer who is proficient in the use of the baton is better able to protect himself and is less likely to resort to the use of his firearm. Topics and techniques presented in this book will be of both great interest and great value to trainers and students of law enforcement.
Published by the F.B.I. in 1967 this booklet covers the use of the traditional police baton. The purpose of this booklet is to present material on the technique and use of the baton which meets the needs of the police officer and yet is consistent with the ethical standards of modern law enforcement.The police baton, in the hands of an officer who has been trained in its use, is a very formidable weapon for defense and counterattack. Many law enforcement officers share the opinion that the baton, under most circumstances, is a more versatile weapon than the officer's revolver. It is recognized that there are a great many situations in which a police officer would be justified in using the baton, whereas he would not be justified in using his revolver. The officer who is skilled and practiced in using the baton can adequately cope with most situations where physical force is necessary.
This book covers Officer Survival Skills issues for law enforcement officer. The goal is to develop the law enforcement officer's understanding of officer survival for the safe and efficient performance of their duty. The majority of police officers duties become routine, though the potential for danger is always present. The duties of the officer require them to enforce laws, and to control the illegal actions of certain citizens. Survival techniques, if properly applied, provide the officer an opportunity to overcome the resistive behavior of subjects. These techniques also provide officers with self-confidence, which is needed to "win". When an officer uses force, peers, the public, the media, the government and the world review that actions. If the officer applies inappropriate force, it reflects poorly on the individual and gives a non-professional appearance to the entire force. The officer is subject to legal limitations. When the officer is faced with a violent situation, it is required that he make decisions in a fraction of a second. He may have to justify his actions in court. Therefore, proper defensive tactics training provides the officer with the tools required not only to apply the proper techniques, but also to decide the proper level of force necessary to overcome resistance. This will obviously enhance officer survivability, insure proper performance during the situation, and justification in court. Topics and techniques presented in this book will be of both great interest and great value to trainers and students of law enforcement.
