This episode of SecurED features Joe Morris, who sheds light on the innovative training programs provided by Condition One Combat Center to law enforcement agencies, including the Montgomery County Sheriff's Department and the Montgomery County Council's Office. Here are the key insights:
- Beyond Lethal Force: Condition One Combat Center specializes in teaching law enforcement officers a range of tactics beyond weapons retention. This includes using body mechanics, locks, and holds to control combative subjects while minimizing the use of lethal force.
- Building Confidence: The training programs are designed to instill confidence in officers' physical abilities to subdue suspects. By enhancing their skills in areas like jujitsu, wrestling, and grappling, officers can be more effective in non-lethal takedowns and restraints.
- Improving Optics and Safety: Enhanced training not only boosts officer confidence but also improves the public optics for law enforcement agencies. It demonstrates their commitment to safer, more effective policing practices, potentially reducing risks and costly legal issues.
