Safeley Deployed Tactics Sequence (SADTACS)

• Historically LEOs have been educated in Use of Force Tactics. DEP Tactical looks at these traditional styles of these tactics nevertheless, we also helps the officers build a skill set that they can Safely Deploy a Tactic Sequence (SADTACS) that must be considered when dealing with subjects and the public. Law Enforcement is ever changing, and we would like to help you understand that change. We examine these different factors that the LEO must consider in order to minimize damage to self and subject. We then teach officers how to safely deploy those tactics and considerations. These steps, once learned and practiced, will be come subconscious, almost a fusion thought. Lawful control is the endgame, but safety for both officer and subject must be at the forethought of every officer. This course also examines excessive force and impractical modes of control on a subject. We also can teach proper categorization and report writing options in order to document any event that may have happened.

Injury Prevention Techniques (IPT)

• Learn how minimize possible injuries and mitigate the damage to oneself if involved in a fight or if you get knocked to the ground, or against any other object. Here we also discuss how to diminish an impact and protect other vital areas of the body and internal organs.

Assailer Suppression Techniques (AST)

• Here we learn how to defend ourselves from unwanted contact in multiple forms. The student learns non-complex techniques that are key in fending off or escaping from an attacks.

Persons Opposing Defiantly and Person Resisting Force (P.O.D. & P.E.R.F. Techniques)

• In this block of instruction is typically where most time is spent in defensive tactics training for law enforcement officers. Here students learn how to overcome resistance from a POD & PERF under lawful direction and basic control techniques. These individuals are broken into two sub-categories, Passive Defiance, PODs and Active Resistance, PERFs. Techniques are learned on how to successfully navigate this within the respective SADTACS model. This block of instruction utilizes basic body mechanics through joint manipulation, arm bars and immobilizing techniques. Lastly, we can also implement the utilization of a hobble and/or a collapsible baton for extreme resistance if your agency is authorized.

Cooperative and Verbally Controlled Subjects (CVS)

• In this course, the student learns techniques to establish and lawfully detain subjects with the use of tactical handcuffing. Students also learn how to handcuff in different environments.

Strike Weapons/Aid of Control Instruments (SW/ACI)

• If your agency utilizes collapsible batons, this is the course for you. Considered an all-around necessary tool of any agency, we will show you ways to use the weapon system, within a related use of force continuum, effectively against assailants and resisters.

Weapon Retention and Disarming (WRD)

• Much like our continuing education classes under our firearms page, we look a specific way to successfully retain a firearm and also how to disarm someone else. Retention techniques are considered one of the most important things to learn when you carry a firearm, especially on duty. We also look at how to disarm/retain someone with a long-gun.

Pepper Spray or Oleoresin Capsicum (LEO-OC)

In this block of SADTACS, we instruct the officer in simple tactics to have effective spray contact with the subject. To often this tactical option is overlooked due to the effectiveness of the weapon system, but it can be a great resource for any agency and is a cost effective one as well.

Law Enforcement Taser Certification/Re-Certification (LEO Taser)

We also give you the tools to properly document your ranges and lesson plans.

Red-Dot Sight for Pistols and LEOs (RDS-P/LEO)

• Much like our course designed for civilians, this class prepares the duty officer for transitioning to an RDS platform for service. Time is spent reviewing different RDS options (mounting, holster, sight acquisition techniques) along with advanced operational skills. Our course is intended to relieve the stress of moving to such an option within your agency. Research shows an increase in shot placement and overall accuracy. If your agency is considering a move to an RDS this is the course for you. This class is intended for the student with a firm understanding and knowledge of the operation of their duty handgun.

Law Enforcement Long Gun Operator (LEO-LG)

• Does your department/agency need to learn how to operate a long gun, AR type platform rifle? We have a specific course that not only familiarizes the end user with the weapon system, but also helps with the confidence and safe handling of the firearm. We teach multiple different stances, review optics, and shoot a course of fire at the end of the training that will verify the student’s competency with the weapon.

Law Enforcement Active Shooter Response (LEO-A.S. )

• The job and responsibility of a LEO in an active shooter event is very different than someone trying to survive one. This course allows the officer to gain the knowledge of exactly what their role is with the response to such an event. We review the differences of a response/reaction/escort teams. To often than not, your agency is not prepared for such an event. This course will change your officer’s mindset. Scenarios can also be available on request, but may alter the price/course time.
