This is not an instructor
development course. Those participating must be recognized and approved
by their agencies to provide training independent of this block of instruction.

Frequently Asked Questions:
-
Am I safe in presuming that
a Taser Master Instructor will teach this course and we will
maintain our “Instructor” status with Taser International?
ANSWER:
NO-though the instructor is a master instructor, this
course is specifically separated from TASER INT-not
because because of any personal issue, but because the
focus of this block by design is to be manufacturer
independent--as such, the instructor rating is
appropriately not recognized by TASER INT.
- What ECD tools will we be
certified to teach and certify our personnel on?
ANSWER:
This course is primarily geared
towards real world (read-force on force scenarios in addition to
the most up to date resistance control/policy/liability
management) ECD use, and as such is focused on the most common
device in use--the Taser X26
- Does
this designation have an expiration like the Taser certification?
ANSWER:
This course will
also certify the participant through Strategos International to train
line personnel in the safe and effective use of (ECD) electronic control
devices. The instructor certification is valid for a 2 year period
from the date of issuance.
In conclusion, this course is not designed to take the place of
foundational manufacturer training, for those agencies that want
manufacturer training. It is designed to take Strategos proven
"force on force" training process to the ECW world.
