They displayed high levels of enthusiasm, dedication and professionalism throughout the week. Congratulations L.O.C.K.U.P.® instructors!

This is what the students had to say:

Excellent course. I have attended in three different arrest and control / defensive tactics programs. This is by far and clearly the best. L.O.C.K.U.P. has the best techniques for street cops and is instructed in verifiable effective ways to improve our officers and their performance on the street.	Det. Sgt – 17 years
L.O.C.K.U.P. is the best defensive tactics training I have attended in my 20 years of law enforcement. I like it because it is easy to train rookie officers and those with many years.	Sgt. – 20 years
This course was very informational and provided useful tools that can be used in everyday patrol. The techniques and skills once learned can be effective if used properly in the field. Overall good class and will be coming back for recertification.	Patrol – 9 years
This course provided me with excellent techniques and maneuvers that will greatly benefit myself and officers. The instructors were very knowledgeable and took the time to breakdown the program in a way that was easy to understand. This course should be taught more often to improve confidence professionalism throughout our profession.	Patrol – 11 Years
Very good course. One of the best I have attended. Well organized and the instructors were very knowledgeable. I learned a lot.	Patrol / DT 14-years
Overall, a very good class. A high enough intensity level that would help eliminate people who are not mentally interested in investing into being an instructor. A very realistic use of force school that can be taught at many levels.	Patrol – 5 years
L.O.C.K.U.P. was a great program that incorporates both officers’ survival and control techniques for real world applications. The system is easily retained which allows it to be utilized.	Capt.Admin 26-years
Very useful and well thought-out presented course. Greatly increased my confidence for hands on encounters and my ability to further train my agency. I will be pursuing and recommending to officers all L.O.C.K.U.P. trainings available in the future.	Patrol – 1.5 years
Very informative. Techniques can be used by almost anyone. I took the class to help with size differential, I learned size doesn’t always matter.	Jail Admin 2 years
I found this course very informative, well-run and full of content that will be very valuable to my job.	Patrol 6-years
Class was very informative and covered material realistic to law enforcement instructors were very knowledgeable on material.	Academy Instructor 10-years

The L.O.C.K.UP. training differentiated itself from other Defensive tactics programs being instructed throughout the country. Not a technique-based training system but the emphasis is on the actual collection of data on the use of force incidents, and detailed reporting to  determine the effectiveness and needs assessments of the officers on the street.
