Compliance and Control Techniques Refresher
Officers need to be trained in effective methods of preventing and controlling physical attacks upon their person with techniques that will produce confidence, as well as minimize injury to the officer and subject. To avoid excessive force and minimize possible liability for the officer and their department, officers must use sound judgment in determining when and to what extent force is necessary. With the implementation of BLET 2025, new methods and best practices have been studied and approved to ensure officer safety as well as suspect safety.
In this refresher you will review best practices for:
 control techniques for various levels of assaultive and resistive behavior;
 basic pressure point control techniques;
 safe weapon retention and weapon disarming techniques;
 best practices for handcuffing, frisking for weapons, and searching an individual after arrest
Compliance and control tactics integrate de-escalation, lawful force application, and safe physical control to manage resistance while meeting legal and safety standards. Mastery of these skills is essential for effective and lawful law enforcement.
