PROELIA Defense and Arrest Tactics is a complete system for all law enforcement, loss prevention and security personnel developed by working cops and based on the needs of the end users; the officers and deputies on the job who use it. It has been taught to law enforcement recruits and in-service personnel with great success for several years.

PROELIA Defense and Arrest Tactics is a constantly evolving and adapting system based on Human Performance Science, how the body reacts and performs under real world conditions. It is not an overly complicated system of multiple techniques dependent on fine motor skills. Rather, it was designed to facilitate the application of gross motor skills and is based upon reoccurring principles that can be applied to a wide variety of situations. It has been proven effective with officers regardless of size, strength, gender and level of training.

Use of Force Supervisor Liability Prevention (8-hour)

Law enforcement supervisors have a tremendous responsibility to ensure that when an officer uses force that the event is completely and thoroughly documented in order to preserve the integrity of the event.

This course gives supervisors the training and tools to better evaluate a force response incident and report. The course is intended for FTOs, supervisors and trainers of law enforcement personnel. It is designed and taught by law enforcement supervisors with several years of field experience. Each instructor has extensive experience teaching use of force reporting and has provided expert testimony in many cases where excessive use of force was alleged.

This course covers the current national and state standards for use of force as well as current information on many force options including electronic weapons usage. Participating supervisors will evaluate multiple uses of force in both video and written form.
