Training for Security Professionals

OCAT® Oleoresin Capsicum Aerosol Training Course (Pepper Spray) and PATH® Practical & Tactical Handcuffing Training Course - 8 Hours Who benefits from OC training? Handcuffs are among the most often used tool by security and law enforcement, yet training is severely lacking. Studies show that over 67% of resistance by subjects occurs after the first handcuff has been applied. All too often the result is injury and/or death to either the officer or subject. This course also has been used extensively by the “Loss Prevention” Industry by officers who, in the course and scope of their employment, are confronted by the need to be properly trained in handcuffing procedures. For liability reasons, an officer who is trained in proper handcuffing techniques always looks better before the court than an officer who has affected an arrest and was never properly trained to apply the handcuffs.
