Restraint, Control, and Come-Along Techniques
Effective Arrest and Control Techniques for Law Enforcement and Security Professionals
Gain practical, proven control tactics designed to help you safely restrain, escort, and control resistant subjects while reducing unnecessary injury and excessive force risks.
This complete online training course from Alain Burrese combines classic instructional material from two highly respected training DVDs with additional lessons, live seminar footage, and professional bonus resources created specifically for law enforcement, security professionals, bouncers, and anyone responsible for handling difficult people in the real world.
Whether you're dealing with aggressive subjects, escort situations, intoxicated patrons, non-compliant individuals, or physical confrontations that don't justify higher levels of force, this course gives you practical tools you can actually use on the job.
Learn Practical Control Skills That Work in the Real World
Too many defensive tactics programs jump straight to striking or pain compliance without teaching officers and security professionals how to properly control and move a subject.
This course focuses on practical restraint and control methods designed to help you:
- Control resistant individuals
- Escort subjects safely
- Apply leverage instead of brute strength
- Transition between techniques smoothly
- Improve officer and staff safety
- Reduce injury potential
- Maintain better positional control
- Improve confidence during hands-on encounters
- Understand important safety and legal considerations
These are the types of techniques that can help bridge the gap between verbal control and higher-force responses.
