Practical and Tactical Handcuffing

Handcuffs are among the most often used tools by officers, yet training is severely lacking. Studies show that over 67% of resistance by subjects occurs after the first handcuff has been applied. All too often the result is injury and/or death to either the officer or subject.

The 4 hour basic course is the most complete and innovative handcuffing training in the country. The techniques presented are practical and effective. Topics covered include the safest approach and positioning for handcuffing, handcuffing resistive subjects, removing handcuffs, and the use of various type of cuffs, among others.
