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 same L.O.C.K.U.P. ® orientation provides the core of the instruction. The day is hands-on and mentally challenging. Officers train and drill in full gear because anything else makes no sense. Officers learn:
  • L.O.C.K.U.P. Police Training System and Principals
  • Risk Assessment and Threat Indicators
  • Understanding the Dynamics of Police Engagements
  • Fear Management and Control
  • Police Combat vs. Defensive Tactics
  • Fighting Techniques and Fatigue
  • Circle of Combat Training
  • How to Prepare Accurate Reports Documenting Incidents
  • Verbal De-escalation and Communications Skills
  • Team Approach and Strategies
  • Understanding Mass / Power and Kinetic Energy
  • Overcoming/ Understanding Size Challenges
  • Using Your Size to Your Benefit
  • Angles of Attack and Escape
  • Proper Weapon and Target Selection
  • “Flashbang” Philosophy of Movement
"I had the honor of taking your class for female and smaller stature officers in January 08. On 03.06.08, I was driving with my partner when a fight broke out a local bar. I saw a 6"0, 210 male choking another male and punching him in the stomach. I approached from his 6 (his rear) and performed a rear sentry takedown. I maintained control until my backup arrived. If there's anyone who doesn't think L.O.C.K.U.P. works. Here is your evidence. It does! Thank you! - Officer Jen Garcia 5'7 95 lbs

"I feel like you've let me in on a secret and I want to know more." - Officer Beth Leech
