Course Description:
Setcan is proud to introduce the Principle Based Subject Control System. After spending years analyzing, researching and refining, Setcan has developed a new system of subject control that is quickly revolutionizing how trainers approach this area of instruction.

The explosion of video recording of police actions, along with the ability to share the videos online, has allowed trainers to see how officers actually behave during real encounters. Advanced innovation in the area of dynamic scenario based training has also allowed trainers to safely test their officers performance in a true to life stressful environment.

When Setcan tested subject control skills from a random selection of officers within a large municipal police agency, a commonality of response was observed. What was most telling was that the techniques most commonly observed were not the techniques taught by the agency.

As a result of these observations, Setcan began to research and identify the most common responses by officers along with developing flexible solutions to these dynamic encounters. The result is a program based on principles that can be applied in an unlimited manner, while still falling within operating guidelines of justified force. This 5 day course (evening work required) will cover the full spectrum of Empty Hand Tactics.

This will be achieved by evaluating each officer over a five day period where the following techniques and strategies will be performed. Topics covered will be :

  • Tactical Communication
  • Balance and Stance
  • Proper and Effective Handcuffing
  • Personal Weapons
  • Pressure Points
  • Ground Control
  • Take Downs
  • One vs Two Office Tactics
  • Weapon Retention
  • Less Injurious Targets
  • Principle Based Joint Lock System
  • Vascular Neck Restraint (if required) and Shoulder Lock Techniques
  • O C Sprays
  • Expandable Baton
  • Searching
  • Extraction/Interventions
  • Officer Safety Issues
