Shaykhet Defensive Tactics Training (Edged Weapons Defense): October 25, 2023

This training program deals with a practical and simple way for the officer to defend against a subject with the edged weapon. The need for this training became especially clear after the events of September 11, when terrorists took over planes using box cutters, which is basically a small knife. Also the training shows the officer how the edged weapon can be used in a self defense situation as an emergency backup weapon when the primary weapon system is not available.

(TECC) Tactical Emergency Casualty Care: October 19, 2023

This 4 hour basic level Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course was developed from the military Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training.

This training increases the likelihood of survivability for casualties of significant trauma due to hostile action, particularly penetrating trauma. This course has recently been modified and shortened to concentrate on critical information and skills.  Written testing is no longer required and the amount of lecture has been reduced significantly. The majority of the course is practical application. Students will be emailed an electronic version of the military TCCC Tactical Combat Casualty Care Handbook to study prior to the course. This course will include a bandaging system as well as a tactical tourniquet that each participant can take back from the class.
