I just wanted to let you know how impressed
I was with the course last week. After 15 years of Japanese
Martial Arts and 9 years of Law Enforcement I thought I had
the Defensive Tactics Game figured out. Thanks for the new
perspective...
My plan is to implement the tenets of PCR
into our entire departments training program. I am also a
trainer for the multi-agency SWAT association in the county
and we run an Officer Survival School that has already trained
about 400 officers state wide. I now need to go back and re-examine
many of the old ways of doing business."

The PCR Course you just completed
at the Allstate Center in St.Petersburg was awesome. Wow!
It was beyond my expectations. I loved the tactics, topics
and instructors. You all did a great job putting the material
on. I can't wait to put some of the tactics to use on the
street, lookin forward for someone to resist next time.
I will also send out an email to local agencies
prior to ur next class in an attempt to bump up student count.
I can't believe anyone would pass up this type of training.
Just wanted to say thank you and lookin forward to you all
returning next year."

Ken,
I doubt that you will remember me, but I was one of the students
in the PCR instructor course that you held in Sioux City in
March of this year...
I was one of the quiet ones in the class,
as I was a little overwhelmed with the information presented.
It wasn't until after the class was over that the principles
finally clicked in. I work as a reserve police officer for
a smaller community that borders Des Moines. I spend several
hours a month working for the police department. My full time
job is as a public safety officer for a very busy hospital
in downtown Des Moines with a large psychiatric patient base.
Needless to say, I am in some sort of a physical confrontation
every week. The skills that I learned that week in March have
benefited me in more ways that I can express. I have tried
to share the principles and skills that I learned with the
members of the police department that I work with. Many times,
the other officers cannot believe how easy things are when
you just let yourself relax and breathe. I would like to thank
you and Drew for the training that I received."

 "Physical
Conflict Resolution" (PCR)
Law Enforcement Defensive Tactics - Counter Measures - Combatives
Course Length: 5-Days
Tuition: $695
Description:
All applicable strategies and techniques needed by law enforcement officers
to operate in close proximity to a wide variety of potential threats if
those threats become physically non-compliant or overtly aggressive. The
officer must resolve any situation by adhering to the appropriate Rules
of Engagement/Use of Force Policies dictated by the reasonable application
force, if and when force is required. In
today's higher threat, active-shooter situations, your job may not always
be entirely defensive in nature, regardless you must only use the minimum
amount of force required to resolve the situation. There is a Force Continuum.
It's there for a reason and we must respect the concept.
Throughout the years, we have observed the following:
- Officer need to
understand how to efficiently take no-shoot threats to the ground and
keep
them there without excessive force.
- Officers need
to understand
how to deal with non-compliant no-shoot threats while maintaining
the
ability to address higher-level threats.
- Officers must
not over-react
to combative behaviors by suspects and non-threatening bystanders
located in a high threat area. (juveniles, females, elderly)
- Officers must
know how to deal with deadly force attacks with options that precede
the use of a firearm.
- A better strategy
and set of options for keeping their own weapons (Approx 10% of officers
feloniously killed died by their own weapon - FBI 1993-2002)
- A well-thought
out, focused and properly administered program of instruction will
ensure long-lasting and repeatable
competency in these vital areas.
If you invest
100% of your energy and enthusiasm into this week
you will leave with:
- A proven strategy
- New biomechanical
tools that can be regulated at will during conflict
- Skill and confidence
at a substantially higher level that brings a calmer mind
- A better understanding
of how to evaluate and improve your current program
We are not going to presumptuously
tell you how to do your job in your area of expertise. It will be up to
you to tailor your presentations and departmental instruction to fit the
specific rules of engagement and use of force policies mandated by federal
and state law, and your departmental polices and procedures. Officer
will leave with the following:
