CONGRATULATIONS to the new L.O.C.K.U.P. CT Triple Instructor Certification – Handcuffing – OC Spray and Police Baton! This program was written, developed and facilitated by Nationally recognized Use of Force Expert Lt. Kevin Dillon (ret) for the CT Police Academy in 2010. This is the ONLY class of its kind as it was a custom built by Lt. Dillon and instructed as the ONLY Triple Certification program in the County! Lt. Mike Creter has been spearheading instruction in the completely integrated and interleaved program.
This team of officers throughout CT and RI participated actively throughout the physically and mentally challenging week. Proud to have them all wear the L.O.C.K.U.P. Instructor Shirt! They earned it!
TEAM FEEDBACK!
Very well presented
Contain many relevant topics relevant to work assignment, all which were realistic in application. In my opinion this training is necessary and should be the standard.
By far the most in depth in explanatory course out there. The training aids are good but it is the instruction that makes this program.
Excellent. Size of class was helpful to be involved provide scenarios and options in our ever changing careers.
The stories of real-life experiences truly make it all come together. I teach other judicial Marshalls and every time I come to a Kevin Dillon training, I always go back with new insights in a higher level of instruction.

An intensive 5-day training program to develop instructors in Handcuffing, Oleoresin Spray, and the Expandable Baton. This is a law enforcement instructor course developing integration concepts within the less lethal options used by law enforcement and correctional operations.

Comments

  • The importance of a baton and different uses.
  • Handcuffing portion
  • Best baton training I have ever received, incorporating all three programs in the same class.
  • LOCKUP position, tactical handcuffing, OC spray moving offline after spray deployments.
  • We use them often and this course has taught me various options and how to use them.
  • ASP and striking combined, fighting through the OC spray.
  • Baton portion, utilizing it as a takedown tool more than just striking.
  • Baton training and tactics.
  • The integration parts were useful, if time allows would be nice to integrate use of spray, baton and handcuffing into one scenario to show weapon failure in the transition of other weapons.
  • Instructions, demonstration as to when techniques will and could be used.
  • All the hands on training with detailed explanation and teaching.
  • Team LOCKUP takedown, baton usage, punching with baton in hand and then extending it.
  • The handcuffing brought a new light into handcuffing.
