Less Than Lethal Devices
(Baton, Taser, Chemical Spray)
As an Unarmed/Armed Guard or responsible Civilian, it's important to understand that not every situation requires the use of deadly force.
The cost of the course is $200.00, and it lasts for 8 hours or 1 day.
It's your responsibility to use the minimum amount of force necessary to handle a situation. The use of Less Than Lethal options has been shown to reduce injuries for both suspects and guards, while also decreasing liability and maintaining control.
​
This comprehensive class offers students an array of de-escalation techniques and tools to handle various situations. Along with verbal communication, students will learn how to identify warning signs and prevent Sudden In-Custody Death Syndrome, properly handcuff suspects, use a collapsible Baton, and effectively use Electronic Control Devices (TASER) and Chemical Sprays, while understanding the science behind them.
​
The course is regulated by the Department of Commerce and Insurance and qualifies Security guards to carry a Baton, Chemical Spray, and TASER while on duty.
​
Topics covered include Sudden In-Custody Death Syndrome/Excited Delirium, Handcuffing, Impact Weapon, Electronic Control Devices, and Defensive Spray.
​
To participate, students are required to bring an extra shirt for spray contamination, eye drops of their choice, and a pen and paper for note-taking.
