​
​Ground Control Techniques
This law enforcement-based Ground Control course focuses on grappling holds and techniques that work for police and security in the field. You cannot work in this industry during our current climate and not have skills for the ground encounter. We guarantee that you will be on the ground at some point in your career, and you need to have a blueprint to control the suspect when the fight goes into that realm. This course focuses on ground control techniques that will allow officers to control a suspect until backup arrives, which includes control techniques that allow the officers to exhaust the suspect for easier handcuffing. The skills learned in this course will utilize body weight and compression learned through Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu but focuses on what we deal with on the job. This course is not taught by a civilian trainer that has never put on a uniform but is rather taught by veteran officers that understand policy and what you deal with in the field. You don’t need to be a trained martial artist to attend this class, because we’re going to teach you simple yet effective solutions. You’ll leave this course with a newfound skill for controlling individuals on the ground as well as a better understanding of defensive tactics. This course will have limited space due to mat space and demand for the training.
​
​De-Escalation Techniques
​The de-escalation course was designed for the employee dealing with chaotic issues faced by public servants. This course is not just a law enforcement or security course, but rather a course that would benefit anyone working with members of the community. This course provides a real-world approach to communicating tactfully, which will allow you to reduce liability, promote a professional image, build a rapport, and even save lives. This training is a hands-on course that gets you involved in classroom participation that provides results. The course is a necessity for any agency looking to expand on the ever-changing expectations of communication, and strategies from this course will provide you with an effective blueprint to solve situations before they erupt. These are techniques every employee should have where communication is an essential part of their daily job.

​Range Safety Officer
​The NRA Range Safety Officer (RSO) program was developed in response to the demand for a nationally recognized range safety officer certification. To become a NRA Range Safety Officer, you must pass the RSO course and demonstrate that you possess the knowledge, skills, and attitude essential to organizing, conducting, and supervising safe shooting activities and range operations.
NOTE: This course does not encompass the functions and responsibilities of a Range Officer, who conducts NRA competitive shooting events as defined by Rule 11.5 of the NRA Rule Books.
​There are two ways to become a RSO. You can take an Online Course from the NRA if you are currently an NRA Certified Firearm Instructor or you can take a course conducted by a Chief RSO, an individual certified to train NRA Range Safety Officers. The RSO course content consists of RSO's roles and responsibilities, range standard operating procedures, range inspection and range rules, firearm stoppages and malfunctions, and Range Safety Briefings which include procedures to follow in the case of an emergency. RSO's who have successfully completed the course then have the ability to become a Chief Range Safety Officer, someone essential to training and supervising NRA Range Safety Officers and developing range standard operating procedures.
