Responder Use of Force & Defensive Tactics

Responder Use of Force & Defensive Tactics is a full-day, in-person training program designed for security professionals operating in real-world environments.

This course focuses on lawful decision-making, proportional response, defensive tactics, and subject control, with a strong emphasis on responder safety and post-incident accountability.

Training combines classroom instruction with practical, hands-on scenarios to ensure participants understand not just how to act — but when, why, and how to articulate their actions.

This is professional training, not tactical role-play.

Core areas covered include:

• Use of Force principles and legal authorities
• Defensive tactics for common real-world threats
• Safe control, handcuffing, and subject movement
• Avoiding positional asphyxiation and medical risk
• Communication, judgment, and articulation under stress

This course is suitable for security professionals seeking to raise their standard of practice and operate with confidence, restraint, and professionalism.
