UOF/CDT Advanced Control Tactics Instructor Course will incorporate Lock Flows, Team Tactics and Flow Drills. Standing Wrist, Elbow, Shoulder and Head Lock Flows will teach the student to a desired control hold when presented with a level of resistance. Flow drills from various systems will teach the student to use muscle memory, tactile touch and dynamic movement to apply a technique without thinking before applying. All lock flows and dynamic flow drills will end with controlled takedowns and arrest.
Team Tactics were developed to maximize control during physical interactions of suspects/subjects while enhancing safety for officers and suspects/subjects with establishing predetermined roles. By utilizing clear communication and coordinated movements, the suspect/subject is psychologically and physiologically overwhelmed during an encounter. Team Tactics are utilized during compliant and non-compliant engagements. Based on the suspect/subject’s actions, aggressive or eggressive (resistive), police officers will respond with a variety of options acting as a team to rapidly control the situation with the goal of making the encounter safer for all parties potentially involved.
