Overcoming Size Differences  for Female Enforcers
May 21 – 23, 2024

This three day course is designed  to address violent encounters dealing with suspects of larger stature. When attempting control larger suspects, size and strength differentials  necessitate combat strategies less reliant on pure upper body strength. The concepts and techniques can be utilized by any officer addressing a larger suspect. The days are hands-on and mentally challenging.  Officers train and drill wearing vest, gun belt and long pants because anything else makes no sense.
