Congratulations to the FLA Female officers who attended and successfully completed this 3-day customized training program on Overcoming Size Differences for Female Enforcers. The three days were physically and mentally challenging and all officers actively participated throughout the three days.

100% of attending students rated this course as at the highest level 5 – very good.

See what the students had to say

Fantastic class, I learned a lot, great demonstrations before attempting.
All instructors were amazing and new every technique well. Very nice and attentive to each student.
I can feel more confidence grow while taking this course. I would recommend this course to every law enforcement officer. These techniques we learned actually worked,  I struggled with the techniques my department teaches.
Best defensive class I have ever taken or been involved in as a female officer! This class/course is a must.
I can’t say enough about this class period. I feel more confident and secure with my abilities. Loved this class!
Amazing class. I was surprised by all the techniques that I was able to perform.
I wish to take the instructor’s class!
Great training, amazing instructors. All techniques covered were practical in realistic. I would love to see an advanced class and counter combat techniques too.
Everything was extremely relevant and will be useful for the rest of my career.
I wish more of my coworkers would take this class everything was hands-on and I learned better that way.
I would add more report writing material, ie what is good and bad verbiage to use in our reports.
Amazing! Loved it! Bring more K.D. !!!  (K.D. – Lt. Kevin Dillon)
Amazing class. Much needed for all levels of law enforcement. As a detective, I am often alone and this gives me more techniques to have an advantage. As an instructor to bring back to the students.
I would like to see more common mistakes smaller officers make when encountering a large opponent.
More video clips help for us visual learners

This three-day course is designed to address violent encounters dealing with suspects of larger stature. When attempting to 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 a vest, gun belt, and long pants because anything else makes no sense.
