Correctional Courses

Train Your Officers to Survive Shank Attacks
2 Day (16 Hours)

 This three day course was developed by Peter Boatman of the Northamptonshire Police Department in England, where knife attacks are the highest in the world against officers. This incredible, realistic training system makes use of those natural responses and teaches how to survive the attack and how to establish control or disengage. Successfully used & documented in the field, this system has proven to reduce officer injuries, increase awareness levels and more appropriately respond with action during the encounter. It has been evaluated as the most progressive edged weapon defense system in the world today.

COURSE PROFILE: An unarmed response by a correctional officer to an edged weapon assault occurs virtually every day throughout the United States in today's correctional facilities. The dynamics of almost all edged weapon assaults means that drawing of a baton or other weapon in response. Within corrections this is not usually possible. And often it is not possible to disengage. In such circumstances we are forced to use what nature has given us in terms of physiological responses.

Topics Covered in the Program Include:

• Real life information of edged weapon attacks, dangers, injuries & death.
• Video clips & slides of assaults with edged weapons.
• Policy & strategy with edged weapons.
• Protective vest design and equipment to prevent injuries.
