TEAM ARREST AND CONTROL
1-Day Course • 7 Minnesota POST credits
As law enforcement officers, we rarely respond to dangerous incidents alone—yet when controlling an aggressive suspect, we often act as individuals. This course teaches specific, easy-to-learn methods for two or more officers to safely control fully assaultive subjects. The techniques are time-tested, proven, and designed to keep officers safe while reducing the need for higher levels of force that can result in injury, stress, and liability.
These physical skills are grounded in basic human kinetics and focus on universal application. Officers learn a minimal number of techniques that can be applied in a wide variety of situations. The system integrates seamlessly with existing tactics and helps officers of all sizes and skill levels improve their ability to control dangerous suspects.
