We had some pretty specific techniques in our academy defensive tactics, which went beyond 'just sling it' or 'just shoot em'. I don't think it should be released on a public forum, but if you contact Virginia Department of Criminal Justice Services, possibly on agency letterhead, they may be willing to help. |
| You'd have to include more options than simply shooting the suspect. Just like how we teach officers to defend pistol take-aways using more than just lethal force, the same holds true for teaching officer's long gun retention. I wrote a brief article on this a number of years ago when I was teaching some material up at Ft Bragg. I'll have to see if I can dig it up. |
That would be good, have my own idea's but any help is appreciated |
| Look into Jim Lindell's handgun/longgun retention techniques. You could also check out the NLETC National Law Enforcement Training Center in Kansas City, MO for more information. There are specific techniques applied for keeping control of your rifle and disarming a suspect. And they hurt. |
