Safariland Training Group (STG) programs are for educational purposes only and are designed to enhance knowledge and skills used by law enforcement, corrections, military, and licensed security personnel (collectively, “law enforcement”) in their mission to protect and serve. STG does not dictate to law enforcement agencies any policies or procedures for the selection or use of any of any law enforcement products, including those manufactured or sold by Safariland LLC. The development and implementation of Policy, General Orders or Standard Operating Procedures is solely the responsibility of the law enforcement agency or department. Although an agency or department may use STG training and/or courseware in support of its internal training of officers, Safariland is not responsible for the equipping or use of Safariland products, or any other company’s products, in the course or scope of an officer’s duties. DISCLAIMER: Safariland, LLC. or Safariland Training Group (collectively, “Safariland”) does not authorize any agency personnel or trainer(s) to represent or act on behalf of Safariland. A Diploma of an STG instructor-level course does not authorize the recipient to act as an agent or representative of Safariland. Agency personnel or trainer(s) shall not represent or give the appearance of representing Safariland during any training that may or may not be provided by the agency personnel or trainer. STG courseware is subject to change without prior notice. Although, as part of the completion of an STG instructor-level course, Safariland authorizes the agency personnel or trainer to use STG courseware, STG does not authorize the reproduction or use of Safariland trademarks or any other markings identifying Safariland or Safariland Training Group. Agency personnel or trainers conducting their independent training courses shall specifically disclose that their training course is not by or on behalf of Safariland nor authorized, sanctioned or sponsored by Safariland. It is impossible to predict, discuss or plan for every circumstance or situation which might arise in the course of a law enforcement officer’s duties. Each law enforcement officer must always take into consideration his/ her experience, physical abilities, professional responsibilities, department policies and procedures and legal obligations. Agencies and law enforcement officers must evaluate the training and techniques contained in STG courseware and determine for themselves the proper action under the specific circumstances confronted. Law enforcement is a dynamic and interactive profession which requires constant use of judgment and evaluation of the situation. Accordingly, Safariland does not guarantee or warrant the information contained in STG courseware. Any implied warranties are expressly disavowed. Safety is the first rule in hands-on training. Training area should be free of structural, floor/ground and/or other types of hazards to people. It should be a place where people can come together to learn and train in unobstructed surroundings that are safe for everyone. Keeping hands-on training accident free is one objective and building psychomotor confidence in a course participant is another objective of this course. Hands-on training brings with it a certain degree of risk of personal injury. By participating in course activities, the participant assumes this risk as part of his/her participation, as well as responsibility, for following safety rules and procedures. The training intensity most likely to accomplish these two objectives within the STG course schedule would be static rather than dynamic or street simulations (scenario based).

MODULE ONE OVERVIEW

OVERVIEW MODULE ONE

COMMENTARY The PR-24 ® program is a psychomotor skill based curriculum. It is structured around periods of lectures, demonstrations and, of course, hands-on practice to build student confidence both as defensive skills and cognitive application under job stress. Consequently, there is risk of injury that must first be acknowledged and, secondly, accepted prior to beginning on the course. It is the responsibility of trainers and alike to maintain a safe training environment. Safety is everyone’s concern and primary duty to each other during PR-24 instructions, demonstrations, practice sessions and testing. The PR-24 Basic Course puts forward basic principles of self-defense and subject-control from which qualified criminal justice trainers can instruct at their agency academy, during in-service training or at roll call briefings. It must be understood from the outset, however, that the courseware provides only the necessary framework for standardizing the PR-24 program. Moreover, the PR-24 courseware cannot explain through words (or images) every subtle skill nuance or possible stylistic interpretation [a.k.a., personal preference] that may exist within each PR-24 skill or found in its practical application under realistic conditions and/or circumstances of the job. PR-24 skills by nature, interpretation and application on the job are subjective; this presentation provides an objective framework to standardize instruction and testing. It is a place from which PR-24 defensive tactics starts rather than where it ends. No two trainers are alike, nor are alike. But, through the instruction of skill principles, as those found within the PR-24 courseware, learning can be relatively consistent and be useful to officers on the job. Agency Trainers have to adapt teaching styles in order to satisfy the learning needs of their students. This may require trainers to attend a specific instructor development course that goes beyond what is found in this presentation or within the PR-24 courseware. The PR-24 courseware establishes a minimum acceptable performance standard (or MAPS) for each PR-24 skill for the purpose of conferring at a static training intensity. However, it is recognized that arresting noncompliant subjects can be a dynamic event. Agency Trainers need to consider methodologies that bring each PR-24 skill to life as a street tactic in the minds and bodies of their students. Such dynamic or simulated training intensities go beyond the goals and objectives of this presentation, the PR-24 Basic Course.

OVERVIEW

•  In 1972, Lon R. Anderson invented what has become known as the Monadnock PR-24 police baton throughout the world. -  The generic term for the PR-24 baton within the criminal justice (CJ) industry is side-handle baton -  A United States Patent was subsequently awarded for the PR-24 baton in 1974. -  The Control Device (c. 1997) is a small diameter version of the
traditional PR-24 baton, which is available in two service lengths of 21inches (53.34 cm) called the Control Device 21 or 24 inches (60.96 cm) called the Control Device 24. •  Lon R. Anderson is also responsible for developing and testing most of the techniques associated with the PR-24 baton program.

MODULE ONE

History

Lon Richard Anderson (1946 – 2007) invented the PR-24 ® police baton and was the primary force behind its worldwide popularity. He took his invention to Paul D. Starrett, President, Monadnock Lifetime Products, Inc., Fitzwilliam, New Hampshire, USA. In 1972 Lon Anderson applied for a U. S. patent for his invention and received it in 1974.

NOTES

Together they developed basic training and instructor course programs. Soon after the PR-24 police baton was invented, the New Hampshire State Police was the first agency to adopt the PR-24 baton and made it standard issue equipment and training for its officers. Not long after this adoption by the New Hampshire State Police, the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) conducted a six month field evaluation of the PR-24 police side-handle baton and related training programs. Data obtained during this [LASD] evaluation showed the PR-24 baton to be far superior to the conventional nightstick. This led them to adopt the PR-24 baton as standard issue equipment in 1974.

History •  The PR-24 Basic Course is a baton self-defense program, which includes one baton-assisted, subject control hold called an armlock, designed for use by entry level and veteran criminal justice (CJ) personnel. -  The words
Protect & Restrain symbolize core principles of the PR-24 Basic Course.

The 8-hour Basic Course remains the most popular PR-24 program.

NOTES

The 6-hour PR-24 Pre-Basic Course is popular amongst private security. The PR-24 Pre-Basic Course may be upgraded later on to the PR-24 Basic Course with only 4-hours of additional training time.

•  To teach CJ personnel about the Control Device or PR-24 sidehandle baton. •  To teach techniques which will enable CJ personnel to control a subject who is or has become a Resistant Subject, which can be either Passive or Active in terms of resistance, while using a Control Device or PR-24 side-handle baton.

OVERVIEW

•  To help criminal justice (CJ) personnel understand the use of force as it pertains to a Control Device, PR-24 baton or other side-handle batons.

MODULE ONE

Course Objectives

•  To teach CJ personnel how to minimize the possibility of a subject s injury or death while ensuring their own safety and protection in the performance of their duty.

INSTRUCTION METHODS Students will be taught how to properly use a Control Device or PR-24 side-handle baton according to either the PR-24 Basic Course curriculum (minimum of 8 hours for a first time user) or PR-24 Pre-Basic Course curriculum (minimum of 6 hours for a first time user). After the techniques are demonstrated, students will perform them under the supervision of an agency trainer, who is a trained PR-24 Instructor, until they can perform each technique to its minimum acceptable performance standard (MAPS). Students will then be encouraged to practice on their own to achieve and maintain MAPS. During the course, Students will be paired off with another student so they can take turns playing the role of an officer and a non-compliant subject (opponent). Students will be required to demonstrate their minimum competency in skill and basic knowledge of the material in order to be certified in either the PR-24 Basic Course or PR-24 Pre-Basic Course.

NOTES

Caution should be used in demonstrating and/or performing each technique to prevent possible injury.

MODULE TWO

•  We, at the Safariland Training Group (STG), believe it is essential that students be provided with guidelines for using force in an operational situation. -  Generally, such guidelines are contained in an agency/departments Use of Force policy or General Orders, which is usually broken down into procedures.

USE OF FORCE In conjunction with the PR-24 Basic Course, we, at the Safariland Training Group (STG), believe it is essential that students be provided with guidelines for using force in an operational situation. Generally, such guidelines are contained in an agency/department’s Use of Force policy, which is usually broken down into procedures, or General Orders.

NOTES

Students should be made aware of agency/department policy relative to when and when not to use physical force, whether by means of empty-hands, baton, OC, less lethal munitions, or firearm. In America, such departmental Use of Force guidelines should be developed in accordance with appropriate federal (i.e., Title 42 United States Code, Sec/ 1983), state and local statutes and applicable court decisions relative to officers using force in the performance of their duty. Such departmental Use of Force guidelines should also be developed following consultation with competent legal representative like a State Attorney General, District Attorney, City or Department Attorney to ensure legal accuracy. Regardless of the country, a Department Use of Force policy and procedures is worth developing and strongly recommended by STG, as is the periodic review of that policy and procedures, to ensure legal accuracy.

TARGET SELECTION IN A USE OF FORCE SITUATION The use of force by officers is permissible when used to effect an arrest; to overcome resistance; to prevent escape; in self-defense; or in the defense of others. The force used must be objectively reasonable based on the facts and circumstances known to the officer at the time the force is used. Officers should take into consideration: the severity of the crime involved; the actions of the subject; whether the subject poses an immediate threat to the safety of officers or others; and officer/subject factors. Officers’ decisions are often made in circumstances that are stressful and ever changing, thus officers are not required to determine the least intrusive measure of force that might resolve the situation. Officers are required to select an objectively reasonable option given the totality of the circumstances known to them at the time. Determining whether the force used is objectively reasonable requires a careful balancing of factors including, but not limited to, the probable severity of injury to officers, subjects and others as a result of the application of force. Target selection based on medical evaluations of the vulnerability of the various parts of the human body and potential injury to subjects may assist officers in reducing injuries to subjects. In the “Monadnock Baton Chart”, the potential trauma to the body has been designated by colors denoting the level of risk incurred by the application of physical force by means of the baton

14

USE OF FORCE

•  The concept of Green, Yellow and Red Target Areas was developed to assist CJ personnel (hereafter officer ) in assessing the probability of injury to subjects. -  When time allows, officers should take into consideration escalating and de-escalating options based on threat assessment, officer/subject factors and the probable severity of injury.

MODULE TWO

Monadnock Baton Chart

The STG would support an agency or instructor who finds it necessary to raise a specific target area to a higher color-code classification; for example, the collarbone from a Yellow to a Red Target Area. Any agency or instructor who elects to do so must clearly document that action. The STG WOULD NOT support any change whereby a specific Target Area’s color-code is lowered; for example, changing the collarbone from a Yellow to a Green Target Area.

THE MONADNOCK BATON CHART Green. Yellow. Red. The three colors of a traffic light! Each of those light colors has a specific meaning for guiding vehicle traffic safely through a busy intersection! In the police liability intersection, the Monadnock Color-coded Baton Chart performs a similar function. Understanding the escalation and de-escalation of trauma is as easy as recognizing Green, Yellow and Red. BACKGROUND The concept of Green, Yellow and Red Target Areas was developed to assist officers in assessing the probability of injury to subjects. When time allows, officers’ use of force should take into consideration escalating and de-escalating options based on threat assessment, officer/subject factors and the probable severity of injury.

THE CONCEPT IN ACTION Green Target Areas are for confrontations where the subject is resisting an officer or another. Yellow Target Areas are for confrontations where the subject is assaulting an officer or another, or when force applied to a Green Target fails to overcome resistance or does not correspond with the threat level. Yellow Targets are areas of the body where force is directed at a joint or an area in close proximity to a prominent Red Target Area and therefore the risk of injury increases. Red Target Areas are for confrontations where the subject is attempting to cause serious bodily injury to an officer or another; or situations where force to lower level target areas fail to overcome the resistance and end the confrontation. Physical force directed at Red Target Areas pose a greater risk of injury to the subject and in certain areas might constitute deadly force because of the probability of causing death.

USE OF FORCE

Monadnock Baton Chart

MODULE TWO

•  The Concept in Action -  Green Target Areas are for confrontations where the subject is resisting an officer and/or assaulting an officer or another person.

Other Green, Yellow and Red Target Areas not numbered or described have comparable medical evaluations to justify their color-coding within the Monadnock Baton Chart.

NOTES

While the traffic light was the inspiration for the color-coding used in the Monadnock Baton Chart, the chart colors provide officers with guidance when they applies a baton skill against the human body. Green in the chart means, “Go”. Yellow means, “Go, but with Caution” while Red means, “Go, but with the Highest Degree of Caution”. Criminal justice officers must be prepared to justify their use of force to conclude an arrest situation.

16

USE OF FORCE

•  The Concept in Action -  Green Target Areas include: -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  -  - 

Lower Abdomen (10) Shin (13) Instep (14) Shoulder Blade (17) Achilles Tendon (20) Inside of Wrist (21) Back of Hand (23) Shoulder Upper Arm Forearm Buttock Thigh Calf

Reasoning: Minimal level of resultant trauma. Injury tends to be temporary rather than long-lasting, however, exceptions can occur.

MODULE TWO

Monadnock Baton Chart

Except for the Head, Neck and Spine, the whole body is a Green Target Area for the application of baton blocking and restraint skills.

The PR-24 police baton will be a more versatile and effective less lethal tool if the structural weaknesses of the human body are understood. Therefore, carefully study the Monadnock Baton Chart, including reading the sections entitled: “Introduction,” “Background” and “The Concept in Action”.

NOTES

During training students should make it a habit to utilize the colors of the Monadnock Baton Chart: Green, Yellow and Red. The 1998 version of the Monadnock Baton Chart is based on striking the human body using a PR-24 baton. PR-24 blocking and restraint skills include the whole body, except for the head, neck and spine.

NOMENCLATURE

Nomenclature

SUPPLEMENTAL CURRICULUM INFORMATION For bike patrol officers, highway patrol officers or officers in a specialized field assignment, the Control Device 21 should be the first choice. It is the easiest side-handle baton to carry on a duty belt or to conceal under a jacket. It also performs well as a baton for patrol officers. There is a longer model available called the Control Device 24. Both batons have a “weight forward” shaft momentum design, as well as small frame and shaft diameters for greater subject-control during armlocks. Both batons fit into a special Front Draw holder and have a surprising level of effectiveness for their weight. The PR-24FX or PR-24NX is the best selections for those officers wanting the most “weight forward” shaft design in an expandable side-handle baton. A short handle is form-fitted at right angles to a round shaft, which creates the PR-24 short and long extended portions. In an expandable Control Device or PR-24 baton, the short handle is held in place with a special, hardened steel bolt, which must be kept tight at all times. In the PR-24STS (large knob) and PR-24S (small knob), the short handle and rounded shaft are of one-piece construction. Both batons are made from polycarbonate plastic. This material is very stable and therefore less affected by extremes in weather than other plastics. They are also virtually indestructible and have a “lifetime” guarantee. An accessory called a Trumbull Stop [TS] is used to increase the knob diameter of a standard [or small knob] short handle. It can also be a molded knob [STS]. It helps students’ better control the baton during skill performance such as a chop, a spin, or applying an armlock to a subject arm to aid handcuffing. United States Patents 5,160,140 and 5,320,348 were granted to Monadnock for the expandable PR24 side-handle baton. Other United States Patents on the Monadnock PR-24 baton include 230,150 and 4,203,599. The white foam composition training baton is recommended, along with the PR-24STS or PR-24S baton, for use while training. The Monadnock Foam Training Baton (FTB) and Monadnock Universal Training Bags (UTB or UTB2) are for use when teaching blocking techniques and counter-striking techniques respectively. The padded Monadnock Universal Training Baton can be used to practice all PR-24 baton blocking techniques, chopping techniques or spinning techniques. 24

MODULE THREE MAINTENANCE

MAINTENANCE

Maintenance on the Short Handle

MODULE THREE

•  A metal insert and steel bolt are used to secure the short handle to the frame. -  KEEP THE SHORT HANDLE BOLT TIGHT AT ALL TIMES.

Insert for PR-24s

Insert for Control Device

A wrench is provided so the appropriate special steel bolt can be tightened as necessary.

The short handle on the left fits 1 ¼ inch diameter expandable PR-24 side-handle batons. The short handle on the right fits Control Device batons.

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES A PR-24 baton should be cleaned periodically with warm, soapy water to remove any accumulated dirt, film or sweat residue from all surfaces, and then dried using a soft cloth. In the expandable PR-24 baton models, the shock abatement system must be inspected periodically and maintained in good working order. The shaft must also be cleaned with warm, soapy water to remove accumulated dirt or film, and then wiped dry with a soft cloth. The inside of the frame should also be cleaned in a similar manner, and then wiped dry to ensure proper function. For more maintenance information, please consult the Owner’s Manual supplied with all expandable PR-24 batons. STOPPING THAT SQUEAK: A special wrench is supplied with each Control Device or two-piece PR24 baton in the event it acquires a squeak. The squeak does not mean that the baton has in any way been weakened. It just means that use has caused the head of the bolt to seat itself into the aluminum/ plastic or that the steel bolt has loosened. To tighten, place one end of the wrench into the socket (i.e., hex for expandable or square for rigid) of the bolt. Turn the wrench clockwise, until tight.

NOTES

The one-piece PR-24STS and PR-24S batons do not have bolts that loosen. In abnormally high temperatures they will not warp and may even get stronger in extreme cold.

The training that you are about to undertake depends on your knowing the PR-24 baton nomenclature and these 6 key definitions.

Other Definitions You Need Know! •  GRIP is the method of holding the PR-24 baton in the strong hand. •  Basic Position is the carrying position from which all other positions and techniques originate.

•  On Guard Position is a verbal command that may be given in advance of performing the Basic Position and/or returning to that position during a drill.

A student hearing the command “On Guard Position” would assume one of the Basic Positions as demonstrated.

44

•  Blocking and Chopping Surface is the outside surface of the short and long portions.

•  Reverse Motion goes from the support side toward the strong side.

MODULE THREE

•  Forward Motion goes from the strong side toward the support side.

DEFINITIONS

Other Definitions You Need Know!

Segments B and E above represent the Blocking and Chopping Surface.

Definitions •  Stance

-  Your support side should be turned slightly toward the suspect. -  Your feet should be about shoulder width apart. -  Your knees should be slightly bent, and the weight of your body evenly distributed on both legs. -  Your head and neck should also be held erect. -  Your strong side should be turned away from the suspect (to shield the firearm). -  Your support side is turned toward the suspect

NOTES

When confronting a perceived threat to your safety, you may want to raise your hands to a higher position above your waist, which may provide you with greater personal protection and defensive function in that situation (as shown).

Basic Position Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. The Basic Position is the foundation from which all positions and techniques originate. 2. When Stance and a Method of Carry—In the Strong Hand are combined, you have achieved a Basic Position. 3. The Basic Positions are:

(a) VERTICAL CARRY



(b) HORIZONTAL CARRY and



(c) TWO-HANDED CARRY

NOTES

4. Your support hand, if not holding the short portion, should be held in a defensive position (above your waist). From a defensive position your support hand; for example, could fend off a blow; be used to grab, pull or push a subject; or to counter-strike, as well as help maintain your balance.

59

METHODS OF CARRY MODULE FOUR

Long Position (Zone 2 skill)

You need to remember that the PR-24 program has two positions called Basic Position and Long Position.

Long Position Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards From a Basic Position: 1. Use your strong hand to rotate the short handle in order to move the long extended portion forward, until it is directly in front of you, and then stop it. 2. With the support hand, grasp the long extended portion palm down. 3. The Long End should be pointing directly toward your opponent.

NOTES

TIP: The Long Position is the foundation for performing basic subject-restraint techniques called the Strong Side Armlock and Support Side Armlock. Students should practice going from a Basic Position to the Long Position and vice versa.

•  When Tactically Safe To Do So: -  Place the Long Portion between your subjects upper arm and body. -  Keep the Short Handle in your Strong Hand. -  Turn the Knob toward the outside of your subject’s body, -  The Short Handle is positioned above the subject’s wrist (as well as on the forearm).

Formula For Armlocks Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards Place the long portion of the PR-24 baton between your opponent’s upper arm and body. Keep the short handle in your strong hand. Turn the end of the short handle toward the outside of your opponent’s body, keeping it above his/her wrist.

NOTES

TIP: On contact with the forearm, the short handle should be positioned 3 - 5 inches (7.62 cm – 12.70 cm) above an opponent’s wrist.

Relative Positioning Diagram A right-handed officer (shown in shade/blue) who approaches a subject at position #1a would be performing a Strong Side Armlock on that subject. The other “a” labeled positions also represent a Strong Side Armlock. If this same officer were to approach at position #1b he or she would be performing a Support Side Armlock on that subject. The other “b” labeled positions represent where a Support Side Armlock could be performed too.

NOTES

For a left-handed officer, position #1a is where he or she would perform a Support Side Armlock; while position #1b would be where he or she would perform a Strong Side Armlock. The other “a” and “b” labeled positions would represent the Support Side Armlock and Strong Side Armlock, respectively.

64

ARMLOCK MODULE FIVE

Strong Side Armlock: Escort and/or Standing Partner Handcuffing (Zone 2 skill)

TACTICAL TIP: First gain the advantage over the subject…and then go for subject-control.

Strong Side Armlock Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. Assume the Long Position (including stance and balance). 2. Execute the Formula for Armlock on the opponent’s arm directly opposite your strong side. [At the same time, lower the short handle on the opponent’s forearm. This will raise the Long End behind the opponent’s upper arm.] 3. Side step to the strong side, simultaneously releasing your grip on the long extended portion with your support hand. Maintain a full strong hand grip on the short handle. 4. Reach behind your opponent’s shoulder with your support hand and again grip the baton near the Long End. Pull it toward you as your strong hand fingers grasp your opponent’s lower forearm, just above the wrist while keeping your thumb wrapped around the short handle. [This starts the leverage needed for the armlock, which will begin to move the subject’s arm behind his/her back.]

NOTES

5. Either turn your opponent or you may step behind him/her. [This should move your opponent’s arm completely behind his/her back and bring the short handle/portion up to a level equal to the small of his/her back.]

65

ARMLOCK

6. Release your support hand grip near the Long End and position it so the palm edge can maintain downward pressure on top of the long extended portion while also sliding towards the opponent’s upper arm. 7. Grip the opponent’s upper arm with your support hand while keeping your wrist above the long extended portion.

MODULE FIVE

8. For subject control, you need to maintain downward pressure with your support hand/wrist at the Long End while lifting up the short handle with your strong hand. TIP: At Step #4, there are two acceptable ways to grip the long extended portion with the support hand. They are: (1) palm in or (2) palm out. The “palm in” grip is the fastest to perform and offers good control. The “palm out” grip is nearly as fast. It does however require the support hand to change from its initial grip on the long extended portion to a palm down position as the baton goes past the subject’s shoulder, then to the completion of the armlock. It adds another point — at the back of the subject’s upper arm — for getting control first over the arm, then over the subject. Practice standing and prone subject handcuffing.

NOTES

The use of padded mats large enough to demonstrate and practice the Strong Side Armlock should be considered. The PR-24WT baton is suitable training aid for demonstrating and practicing the armlock.

66

ARMLOCK MODULE FIVE

Strong Side Armlock: Escort and/or Standing Partner Handcuffing

Re-grip either Palm In or Palm Out. Remember to also Take The Pulse as you complete the ‘Formula’ and then the Strong Side Armlock.

NOTES

The phrase “Take the Pulse” refers to the manner by which an officer may further secure the subject’s lower forearm using his/her other fingers on the strong hand. The location of these fingers on the subject’s lower forearm/wrist would be approximately the same relative position for taking his/her pulse. Thus, the phrase “Take the Pulse” has emerged as an instructional hint and, later on, when an officer applies the strong side armlock to a subject while on the job.

67

ARMLOCK MODULE FIVE

Strong Side Armlock: Escort and/or Standing Partner Handcuffing

Strong Side Armlock: From Escort to Prone Handcuffing

Hand Change

Use the Armlock to take the subject straight down to the ground.

By taking a subject “straight” to the ground, as if following a plum line to the ground, an officer can generally maintain better control over the subject throughout his/her movement to the ground because more of the subject’s own body weight is maintained over his/her feet. This could be compared to how implosion works to demolish a building. Moreover, as the prone takedown maneuver is performed, an officer may quickly turn the subject in the direction of the Long End, as the takedown begins.

68

Transition

ARMLOCK MODULE FIVE

Strong Side Armlock: Prone Handcuffing (Zone 2 skill)

In order to handcuff the subject, you will have to transition to an empty-hand wrist lock to further stabilize the subject’s arm so the first handcuff may be applied.

Strong Side Armlock: Prone Handcuffing

It is suggested that the PR-24 baton/Control Device be secure when applying handcuff in a manner that is governed by general order or department policy and/or procedures, as well as by prevailing conditions at the time of the incident.

Support Side Armlock Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. Assume the Long Position (including stance and balance).

MODULE FIVE

2. Execute the Formula for Armlock on the opponent’s arm directly opposite your SUPPORT side. 3. Step to the side of your opponent in the direction of your support side, simultaneously releasing your grip on the long extended portion with your support hand. Maintain a full strong hand grip on the short handle. 4. Reach behind your opponent’s shoulder and again grip the baton near the Long End with your support hand. Pull it toward you, while keeping your strong hand closed around the short handle. [This starts the leverage needed for the armlock, which will begin to move the subject’s arm behind his/her back.] 5. Either turn your opponent or step behind him/her. [This should move your opponent’s arm completely behind his/her back and bring the short handle/portion up to a level equal to the small of his/her back called “X” forearm position.] 6. Place your strong forearm above and parallel to the long extended portion and in contact with your opponent’s back, freeing your support hand for handcuffing. 7. For subject control, you need to maintain downward pressure with your strong elbow/armpit at the Long End while lifting up the short handle with your strong hand. TIP: There is an acceptable alternative to Step #6; it involves INSERTING the Long End into your strong armpit. At the “X-forearm” position bring the long extended portion across the top of your forearm using your support hand until the Long End can be inserted into your strong armpit, then insert and firmly pull back on the short handle toward your armpit to tighten up the armlock. Always keep your strong forearm (and elbow) above the subject’s forearm for the purpose of control. The Support Side Armlock is a useful handcuffing technique but ONLY AFTER a non-compliant subject has been moved to a stable structure/object such as a wall, or is prone on the ground prior to BEING handcuffed. Practice standing and prone subject handcuffing.

NOTES

The use of padded mats large enough to demonstrate and practice the Strong Side Armlock should be considered. The PR-24WT baton is suitable training aid for demonstrating and practicing the armlock.

ARMLOCK

Support Side Armlock: Securing the Long Extended Portion for Standing Handcuffing

MODULE FIVE

TACTICAL TIP: It is recommended that the subject is first stabilized against a structure such as, but not limited to, a wall to apply handcuffs. You may use one of two methods for securing the Long Portion.

THE INSERT METHOD: You place the Long End into your armpit to secure the armlock while handcuffs are applied.

In order for the camera to capture this technique, the skill had to be staged in a manner that is not consistent with its proper performance. In proper performance of a support side armlock, the subject’s chest is first placed against a wall or other structure to stop the subject from moving forward, which might dislodge the armlock while handcuffs are applied to the subject’s wrists.

NOTES

Using the Insert Method to secure the Long End/Portion, it is harder to dislodge the armlock should the subject move forward. However, in some cases, the officer performing the Insert Method may find it uncomfortable to use the Insert Method when the subject is wearing winter clothing or has large lower arms. It would be the officer’s discretion to continue with the Insert Method or use the Elbow Method, as an alternative, to secure the Long End/Portion long enough to apply handcuffs to the subject’ wrists.

ARMLOCK

TACTICAL TIP: It is recommended that the subject is first stabilized against a structure such as, but not limited to, a wall to apply handcuffs. You may use one of two methods for securing the Long Portion.

MODULE FIVE

Support Side Armlock: Securing the Long Extended Portion for Standing Handcuffing

THE ELBOW METHOD: You place your strong arm over the Long Portion to secure the armlock while handcuffs are applied.

In order for the camera to capture this technique, the skill had to be staged in a manner that is not consistent with its proper performance. In proper performance of a support side armlock, the subject’s chest is first placed against a wall or other structure to stop the subject from moving forward, which might dislodge the armlock while handcuffs are applied to the subject’s wrists.

NOTES

Using the Elbow Method to secure the Long End/Portion, it is easier to dislodge the armlock should the subject move forward since the long extended portion could slip under and out from the officer’s elbow control. However, in some cases, the officer performing the Elbow Method may find it more comfortable to use than the Insert Method when the subject is wearing winter clothing or has large lower arms. It would be the officer’s discretion to continue with the Elbow Method or use the Insert Method, as an alternative, to secure the Long End/Portion long enough to apply handcuffs to the subject’ wrists.

ARMLOCK MODULE FIVE

Support Side Armlock: From Escort to Prone Handcuffing (Zone 2 skill)

Use the Armlock to take the subject straight down to the ground.

NOTES

By taking a subject “straight” to the ground, as if following a plum line to the ground, an officer can generally maintain better control over the subject throughout his/her movement to the ground because more of the subject’s own body weight is maintained over his/her feet. This could be compared to how implosion works to demolish a building. Moreover, as the prone takedown maneuver is performed, an officer may quickly turn the subject in the direction of the Long End, as the takedown begins.

MODULE SIX BLOCKING

BLOCKING

PR-24 BLOCKING SKILLS The principle for blocking with a Control Device/PR-24 baton is to place the baton’s blocking surface between you and the threat, such as a punch or kick. The blocking surface is the outside surface of the short and long portions. There are five blocks, which come from your instinctive empty-hand blocking ability.

MODULE SIX

PR-24 blocks can be used to defend against a variety of attacks from many angles. They are:

(1) High [when the attack is overhead],



(2) Strong Side [when the attack is to your strong side (0° - 180°)],



(3) Support Side [when the attack is to your support side (0° - 180°)],



(4) Middle [when the attack is coming straight at you] and



(5) Low [when the attack is coming up from the ground].

The role of a PR-24 baton in these five blocks is to make each block more effective and efficient by protecting your strong hand, wrist, forearm and elbow from possible injury, which in most cases is your gun hand. It is important to remember that you may move to avoid being hit by a punch, kick or blow from a weapon. Your Patterns of Movement may help you to avoid being hit. Patterns of Movement may enhance your performance of any one of these five PR-24 blocks, as well as any PR-24 skill. There are two positions in the PR-24 Basic Course called:

(a) Basic Position and



(b) Long Position.

Therefore, you have close-in range (Zone 1) protection using Basic Position blocks. Long Position (two-handed) blocks are for intermediate range (Zone 2) protection. Your support hand, if not being used to support a PR-24 Basic Course blocking skill, should be held in a defensive position. From such a position, your support hand can play a key and independent role in protecting you from an attacker, as well as in helping maintain your balance.

NOTES

Disengage. Evaluate. Escalate. De-escalate. Go For Control. These are actions you could take after performing any one of the PR-24 blocks.

88

Empty-hand blocks are the foundation for PR-24 Basic Course blocks, such as those found in the PR-24 course program.

BLOCKING MODULE SIX

Basic Position Blocking Skills

High Block Strong Side Block Support Side Block Middle Block Low Block

Commentary As an officer, you must perform each block in this module with dynamic energy that has but one purpose - utilizing all your faculties and resources to win in a confrontation, and certainly without sacrificing your own personal safety needlessly. As you review each block depicted in this module, please keep these words in mind and, by all means, pay close attention to your instructor’s demonstrations and instructions (MAPS) on how to perform each skill in the PR-24 Basic Course. Factors such as, but not limited to, officer balance, which should always be sound; officer movement, which should not stop; officer use of other DT options or tactics besides a baton, which defines his/ her total defensive abilities in combat, and so forth are all components for winning on the job. In this module and others in this presentation, officer safety is the paramount goal behind the PR-24 program and all STG programs. Individual pictures are used to construct this module and to portray each PR-24 baton assisted block within it. They are still images framed within a camera’s field of vision. So, when taking a picture with more than one subject in the frame, it is a common phenomenon to push every one or everything together so it makes it into that picture. This explanation is why you may view the relative position between the attacker’s free hand and/or hands and the officer’s face or body in some of the pictures as being too close. Or, the proximity between the officer and attacker may appear closer than what safety might suggest in a true encounter, as you may agree. Or, the officer and/or attacker may appear to be off-balance because each image was staged before a camera so everyone had to hold still until the picture was taken, which is not as easy as it sounds to do. These are amongst the simple truths associated with taking still images of what is otherwise an ‘action’ event happening in real time. Keep this in mind as you review this module and the others that proceed and follow it. As you train in the PR-24 Basic Course program, you may encounter the PR-24 Basic Course MAPS that are used by the instructor to teach you each of those skills, as well as to access your minimum acceptable ability to perform those skills, and this presentation and each module therein. All share one common message, which is Protect & Restrain in the PR-24 Basic Course.

Front Jab (Zone 1 skill)

MODULE SEVEN

The Front Jab performed from the two-handed carry Basic Position can also be effective.

TACTICAL TIP: Don t OVEREXTEND the Front Jab because that may take you off-balance or cause the long end to strike your strong side when you recover back to the Basic Position.

Front Jab Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. Assume a Basic Position (including stance and balance). Do not let the short handle spin in your hand. 2. Execute a sharp but controlled forward thrusting motion, slightly rotating your strong hand (palm down) as the jab is performed.

NOTES

TIP: Never overextend the Front Jab. This can throw you off balance and cause you to lose control. The Long End should never be forward of your strong leg. The two other acceptable methods for performing a Front Jab are: (1) short handle upright, with no rotation as you perform the jab or (2) place your support hand on the short portion [two-handed carry], then perform the jab.

106

MODULE SEVEN

The Rear Jab may be performed either as a twohanded skills (as shown) or by using the strong arm only.

JAB, CHOP & SPIN

Long Jab Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. Assume the Long Position (including stance and balance). The knob should be upright. 2. Execute a sharp but controlled forward jab. Your support hand is palm down on the long portion. 3. The Long Jab is performed in either a FIXED or SLIDING motion.

NOTES

TIP: In the sliding Long Jab, your support hand provides stability to the long portion as the baton slides through a “circle” formed by the thumb and fingers. Your support hand also controls the direction of the Long End. Your strong hand supplies power and controls the forward thrust of the long portion. In the fixed Long Jab, your strong and support hands tightly grip the baton as you sharply thrust the Long End forward.

PRIMARY CHOPPING AREAS

MODULE SEVEN

The blocking area also represents the specific chopping area for the Flat Chop (B), Upper Chop (D) and Power Chop (E). The chopping area may be useful to you in another application called “blockthen-slide to disarm.” For example, you elect to stop a weapon (i.e., club) attack with a high block, you would first block, and then quickly and sharply slide the chopping area into the subject’s hand(s) to release the “club” from his/her grip. This “slide-to-disarm” application works as a follow on tactic for a strong side or support side block too.

Flat Chop

Upper Chop

Power Chop

Flat Chop (Zone 1 skill)

NOTES

TACTICAL TIP: The Flat Chop can be performed in either Proper Grip or Tuck position in a forward or reverse motion. It may be preformed in a downward, horizontal or diagonal motion. FOLLOW THROUGH the target for best results.

110

JAB, CHOP & SPIN MODULE SEVEN

Flat Chop (used to protect a holstered weapon) (Zone 1 skill)

TACTICAL TIP: Secure the weapon in the holster. Perform a Flat Chop with movement to enhance skill effectiveness and to create distance.

Flat Chop Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. Assume a Basic Position (including stance and balance). 2. Execute a sharp thrust, striking your opponent with the baton’s chopping surface, which is opposite the short handle.

NOTES

TIP: Flat Chop(s) may be a useful technique to protect your firearm. A Flat Chop may be performed in either “Proper Grip” or from a “Tuck” Basic Position. It can be executed as a “forward technique,” which means it moves from your strong side to your support side. Or, it can be done as “reverse technique,” which means it moves from your support side to your strong side. In a close-quarter confrontation, it is a most useful and effective defensive skill.

111

JAB, CHOP & SPIN MODULE SEVEN

Upper Chop (Zone 1 skill)

TACTICAL TIP: The Upper Chop can be performed in either Proper Grip or Tuck position in a forward or reverse motion. It may be performed in an upward, horizontal or diagonal motion. FOLLOW THROUGH the target for best results.

Upper Chop Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. Assume a Basic Position (including stance and balance). 2. Execute a sharp upward thrust, using the short portion adjacent to the short handle as the chopping surface.

NOTES

TIP: An Upper Chop may be performed either from a “Tuck” Basic Position or in a “Proper Grip” position. In a close-quarter confrontation, it is a most useful and effective defensive technique.

112

JAB, CHOP & SPIN MODULE SEVEN

Power Chop (Zone 2 skill)

TACTICAL TIP: The Power Chop can be used as an alternative defensive skill to the two-handed

Support Side Block. The Power Chop may be performed in a horizontal or downward motion. FOLLOW THROUGH the target for best results.

Power Chop Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. Assume the Long Position (including stance and balance). 2. Draw your support hand toward you. 3. Simultaneously, drive your strong hand forward. 4. The chopping surface, which is opposite the short handle, should be completely exposed to the attack.

NOTES

TIP: A Power Chop is an effective technique both as a strike and as a block. It may be used as an alternative blocking technique to the Long Extended Two-Handed Support Side Block. Whenever possible, keep your strong wrist/forearm on the long portion at the moment of impact.

113

Your strong arm is fully extended when the Forward Spin makes contact with the target, and then FOLLOW THROUGH the target to Reverse Spin position for best results.

JAB, CHOP & SPIN MODULE SEVEN

Forward Spin (Zone 3 skill)

TACTICAL TIP: When performing a Forward Spin, it is very important that approximately the last 4 inches (10.16 cm) of the long portion, as measured down from the long end, strike the target for greater effectiveness than any other segment on the long portion.

Forward Spin Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. Assume a Basic Position (including stance and balance). 2. The long portion should be horizontal. 3. Your support side arm should be raised to keep it out of the path of the baton, to add balance, and to protect your support side. 4. Slightly loosen the grip of your strong hand. 5. To create centrifugal force, vigorously sweep the PR-24 baton horizontally from your strong side to your support side [a forward technique] until your strong arm is against your support side.

NOTES

TIP: Keep your strong arm completely extended during the sweeping motion of the baton. The long portion of the baton will make contact with your opponent’s body approximately 4 inches below the imaginary plane of your strong index finger. It is very important that approximately the last 4 or 6 inches of the long portion, as measured down from the Long End, be used as a striking surface for greater effectiveness. Check your grip on the short handle and, if necessary, use your Support side to re-grip.

For best results, FOLLOW THROUGH the target, as you return to the Basic Position.

JAB, CHOP & SPIN

Reverse Spin (Zone 3 skill)

TACTICAL TIP: When performing a Reverse Spin, it is very important that approximately the last 4 inches (10.16 cm) of the long portion, as measured down from the long end, strike the target for greater effectiveness than any other segment on the long portion.

REVERSE SPIN Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards Assume the terminating position of the Forward Spin (including stance and balance). To create centrifugal force, vigorously sweep the PR-24 baton from your support side to your strong side [a reverse technique] until the long portion comes to rest in a BASIC POSITION. To decrease the velocity of the returning baton or to stop it, tighten your grip on the short handle.

NOTES

TIP: Keep your strong arm completely extended during the sweeping motion of the baton. The long portion of the baton will make contact with your opponent’s body approximately 4 inches below the imaginary plane of your strong index finger. It is very important that approximately the last 4 or 6 inches of the long portion, as measured down from the long extended end, be used as a striking surface for greater effectiveness. In step #2, it is acceptable: (1) to stop the long extended portion on the outside of your upper arm, and then assume a Basic Position or (2) to lift your strong side elbow [like a “chicken wing”] at the right time to allow the baton to stop in the “tuck position.” RE-GRIP USING EITHER YOUR BODY OR YOUR SUPPORT HAND, IF NECESSARY.

Power Spin Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. Assume a Basic Position (including stance and balance). 2. Grasp the short portion with the support hand, palm down (Method of Carry—Two-Handed Carry). 3. Pull the short portion toward you with your support hand and simultaneously push forward with your strong hand. 4. The Power Spin is performed in either a SWEEPING or SNAPPING motion.

NOTES

TIP: At the completion of a Power Spin, return to a Basic Position [outside of the upper arm]. Remember to maintain a two finger gap in your Two-Handed Carry. This helps you perform the Power Spin. The long portion of the baton will make contact with your opponent’s body approximately 4 inches below the imaginary plane of your strong index finger. It is very important that approximately the last 4 or 6 inches of the long portion, as measured down from the Long End, be used as a striking surface for greater effectiveness.

JAB, CHOP & SPIN

Power Spin (sweeping performance method)

MODULE SEVEN

(Zone 2 skill)

Your strong arm is fully extended when the Power Spin makes contact with the target on both the forward and reverse motion and, of course, FOLLOW THROUGH the target on both contacts for best results.

Power Spin (snapping performance method) (Zone 2 skill)

Your strong arm is fully extended when the Power Spin makes contact with the target, and then snapping back to the Basic Position.

NOTES

TACTICAL TIP: When performing a Power Spin, it is very important that approximately the last 4 inches (10.16 cm) of the long portion, as measured down from the long end, strike the target for greater effectiveness than any other segment on the long portion. FOLLOW THROUGH the target for best results.

MODULE EIGHT DRAW

DRAW

Cross Draw (with reverse spin)

MODULE EIGHT

(Zone 1 skill)

You may first have to create distance prior to drawing your baton using the Cross Draw.

TACTICAL TIP: It is suggested that you extend the long portion of an expandable PR-24 baton/Control Device while it is in the holder before performing the Cross Draw. Your support hand may aid the Cross Draw (as shown).

Assume either a Basic Position or the Long Position based on the circumstances.

Cross Draw Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. Start with a PR-24 baton in its Front Draw holder (or special ring) on your Support side. 2. With the support hand, grasp the long portion and lift it slightly in the ring/holder.

NOTES

3. With the strong hand, reach across the body and grasp the short handle. Use a reverse spin without full extension of the strong arm and/or draw the baton across in front of your body without USING a reverse spin to achieve a Basic Position.

DRAW MODULE EIGHT

Power Draw (Zone 3 skill)

You may first have to create distance prior TACTICAL TIP: It is suggested that you extend the long to drawing your baton portion of an expandable PR-24 baton/Control Device using the while it is in the holder before performing the Power Power Draw. Draw. Your support hand may aid the Power Draw.

Assume either a Basic Position or the Long Position based on the circumstances.

Power Draw Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. This is similar to the cross draw [using a reverse spin] except that the strong arm is fully extended at the midpoint of the reverse spin. This increases momentum at the Long End. 2. Complete the draw to achieve a Basic Position.

NOTES

TIP: When carrying a Control Device or PR-24 in a holder, it is recommended that the shaft is pulled opened and locked in position while in the holder before attempting to perform the Power Draw. The Power Draw should be demonstrated and performed using a pattern of movement rather than only as a static draw.

124

MODULE NINE PR-24 RETENTION SKILLS

PR-24 RETENTION SKILLS

Baton Retention Short Portion Grab from the Front (Zone 1 skill)

MODULE NINE

TACTICAL TIP: EDGED FIST STRIKE, REAR JAB AND MOVE. As the subject’s hand or hands are coming off the short portion, you need to create distance, evaluate the situation, and then take appropriate follow-up action.

PR-24 RETENTION SKILLS If an opponent should get his/her hands on your PR-24 baton, remember that you would still have a substantial advantage over him/her. Whenever the PR-24 baton is in your hand, you have the advantage of a grip on the short handle. When in the Long Position, you would have immediate access to your weapon with your strong hand since your support hand would be holding onto the baton.

GRAB FROM THE FRONT - SHORT PORTION Minimum Acceptable Performance Standards 1. As soon as a subject grabs the short portion, you should quickly yank the baton back toward you while firmly striking the subject’s wrist/hand(s) with your support hand (fist) to free the short portion from his/her grip. 2. Create distance between yourself and the subject.

NOTES

TIP: There are other alternatives to free the baton from a subject’s grip. For example, as soon as a subject grabs the long portion, grab the Long End with your support hand and yank it toward your support side, then (Power) chop your opponent with the leading edge of the short portion. But, the two techniques featured above are fast and simple to perform. When necessary, use a Power Chop, a Reverse Spin or Flat Chop as a possible follow-up tactic.
