ASP / Expandable Baton

Back to course listing:

This course will be modified to the level of expertise in the audience and can be adapted in the classroom for multiple levels of experience and understanding. However, the basis for this program is for operator certification, therefore attendees should have a general understanding of the principles of personal defense as well as a reasonable level of physical fitness.

Training Goals and Objectives

The goal of the training program is to prepare and condition the attendee to safely apply an intermediate weapon to neutralize aggressive /physical behavior, subject control, containment, and threat neutralization techniques in both the patrol and tactical environments and certify them in the application of these skills. Additionally, the course will concentrate on the application of alternative force application tools (less lethal) and impact weapons. Further, the program will focus on establishing an understanding of use of force, techniques to gain subject compliance, and to safely control individuals.

Training Audience, Format and Content

This course is most successful when taught and received with audiences of 30 officers or fewer, but has been given in groups of 100 or more with successful reviews. The smaller groups enable officers to have more direct dialog & contact with the instructors and the other students.

The course is designed in a 1-day format with each day involving the exploration of the expandable baton, and its use in “subject control”. The course is designed to run from 0800 to 1600 hours.
