Tactical Handcuffing

 

This is one of the Police Charter's most popular 5 courses along with the Tactical Communications and Close Protection (Bodyguarding courses, etc.)  The Police Charter’s Tactical Handcuffing programme is based upon extensive theoretical research and years of applied practical application.  It is highly effective and very straightfrward to learn.

 

Two of the key points in handcuffing areeffective verbal and physical control of a subject in preparation to apply handcuffs and subsequent, effective application.  We cover this in detail. We also try to alway minimise the risk of escalation or violence.

 

There are also two methods of handcuff application: passive and active. Both are covered in this programme along with search methods (subsequent to arrest) and release of your subject.  We also cover use of force reporting.  We have provided this training in many countries although are based in Canada.
