Endorsed by the Michigan Sheriff's Association
| What is it? |
|
This

| Why is This Course Good For My Department's Officers? |
 |
The
majority of the edged weapon DT courses for Law Enforcement Officers teach that the minimum safe distance is 15-21 ft. The simple fact is this is unrealistic when you consider the nature of the job for almost all Corrections & Field Officers. Most edged weapon assaults on officers occur either during cell extraction, inmate on inmate attack, on scene interview process, suspect searches and domestic calls. Therefore the majority of the attacks occur spontaneously and in close quarters. |
