“Overcoming Size Differences” for Female / Smaller Stature Officers
This two-day course is designed for female and smaller stature officers because size and strength differentials necessitate combat strategies less reliant on pure upper body strength. Go to our Conference and training page http://mnwomenpolice.org/?page_id=11 for more information.
