Description:





Annotation
This book presents sophisticated
defensive tactics and techniques for dealing with confrontations when
police use of guns cannot be legally justified.








Abstract
Defensive tactics must work on
the street, be defensible in court, and be administratively feasible.
The 21 chapters in this volume present a broad range of nonlethal
defensive tactics. Topics discussed include physical fitness, the
psychology of confrontation, the continuum of force, body language, oral
control, and verbal tactics. The use of restraints is examined, with
techniques illustrated for blanket hold, escort position, pressure-point
control, touch pressure points, the wrist lock come along, and three
quick penetration points. Active countermeasures, such as the stunning
technique and diffused strike, are detailed. A review of neck restraints
discusses the carotid restraint technique, danger of the bar arm hold,
safety, and medical and legal concerns. Additional techniques described
include short stick techniques (the Kubotan); use of the Yawara; proper
use of the flashlight, impact weapons, and handcuffing techniques. Also
highlighted are the use of appropriate and deadly force, knife threats,
'humane' devices, legal concerns, and training issues involving women.
