Course Overview

This three-day instructor certification program provides comprehensive, product-neutral training that equips instructors with the knowledge and skills to teach others proficiency in three essential less-lethal control techniques: handcuffing, oleoresin spray (OC spray), and expandable batons. The course is structured to help law enforcement professionals master the tactical and instructional aspects of these critical tools, which play an important role in managing challenging situations while reducing reliance on deadly force. A key focus throughout the program is teaching officers how to smoothly transition between these three methods based on the specific circumstances they encounter.

Core Curriculum Topics

Beyond hands-on skill development, participants will explore essential professional and legal dimensions including:

  • Use of Force decision-making aligned with departmental policies
  • Legal framework including relevant constitutional amendments and applicable case law
  • Ethics and professional conduct standards
  • Risk management and safety protocols
  • Proper documentation and report writing procedures
  • De-escalation tactics and environmental awareness

Handcuffing Module

This segment covers equipment identification, proper restraint application, procedures for both cooperative and resistant subjects, instructor development, control takedowns, and safe removal techniques.

Expandable Baton Module

This section includes equipment nomenclature, tactical applications, carrying methods, retention practices, drawing procedures, blocking techniques, and disruption strategies.

OC Spray Module

Training in this area addresses spray types and effects (physical, psychological, and physiological), appropriate use scenarios, deployment methods, practical exposure (waivable with documented prior exposure), and decontamination procedures.

Enrollment Options and Pricing

Participants may select individual modules at $399 each or enroll in all three components together for $999, representing substantial savings versus separate registration.
