M.A.W.P.

Responding to Violent Combatants
“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. The concepts and techniques can be utilized by any officer addressing a larger suspect. The same L.O.C.K.U.P.® orientation provides the core of the instruction. The days are hands-on and mentally challenging. Officers train and drill in full gear because anything else makes no sense.  Conference Dates:  Oct 12 - 13, 2010 - 0830 - 1630. 
Course cost: $295.00 Per Person.  Register at WWW.POLICECOMBAT.COM  Download the below file for more information.
