Course Description

The Team Arrest and Control Tactics course teaches specific, easy-to-learn methods for two or more officers to safely control fully assaultive suspects.

This is a 1-day course approved for 7 Minnesota POST credits.

Law enforcement officers rarely respond to dangerous incidents alone, yet too often operate as individuals when controlling aggressive suspects. This course provides proven techniques that emphasize teamwork, officer safety, and effective subject control while reducing the need for higher levels of force.

The system is designed to integrate easily with other tactics and is grounded in basic human kinetics. Officers will learn a minimal number of techniques that can be universally applied to a wide range of circumstances. Regardless of existing skill level, participants will leave with improved ability to control resistant and assaultive subjects.

Course Objectives

• Enhance subject compliance through verbal de-escalation and soft empty-hand techniques

• React effectively to assaultive subjects at close quarters

• Develop skills in handcuffing and controlling resistant subjects

• Perform multiple-officer takedowns on resistant subjects

What to Bring

• BDU-style pants

• Duty belt/duty vest

• Training weapon
