“Overcoming Size Differences” for Female Enforcers

September 9 -10 , 2015
This two day course is designed for female officers to address violent encounters dealing with suspects of larger stature.

“This course saved my life! It taught not only about fighting but how the brain works under stress” Dep. S. E St Johns FL PD

“I saw a 6’0, 210 lbs male choking another male and punching him in the stomach. I approached and performed a LOCKUP takedown. I maintained control until my backup arrived. If there’s anyone who doesn’t think L.O.C.K.U.P. works. It does! Thank you! ” Officer Jen Garcia: 5’7 95 lbs
