Weapon retention. Nothing about this phrase provides a glimpse of the terror, the
effort, the panic, and the heart needed to survive when a prepared
offender, or even an opportunistic suspect attempts to take your
weapon from you. We know this.
Weapon retention is not, and should not be about the type of holster you carry. It
is not about keeping people away from you at all times, because you will always have to be
in proximity to people in order to talk to them, search detainees,
and arrest offenders by handcuffing them. It is not about
martial arts solutions that almost never work on the street in a
real-life fight for your weapon. It is not about maintaining
"constant awareness," because no police officer can maintain perfect
awareness with no distractions. We know that weapon retention in
the real world is We also know this from the real world:
- If an offender takes your weapon from you, he will attempt to
murder you with it
80% of the time.
- If an offender makes a second
attempt to take your weapon, you will be murdered
80% of the time.
Every officer deserves and requires the finest weapon retention
training there is. Between 13 and 20% of all officers murdered every year
die after being shot to death with their own weapon. We provide
that training that will make the difference between surviving and not.
Cutting Edge Training has conducted research into
the real-world
attacks on officers for over 20 years.
We
conducted research into the actual circumstances of officers being
murdered with their own weapons by interviewing to the lead homicide
investigators of those murders. We have interviewed hundreds of
police survivors of weapon retention attacks. Through this
research, Cutting Edge Training has compiled a real-world
understanding of what you will likely experience when someone tries to
murder you with your own weapon.
We also know that what
officers are commonly taught to expect in their academy classes does
not reflect the real-world attacks they will face. Consequently,
what you have been taught in common weapon retention courses is not
realistic and cannot prepare you for the violence involved in a
weapon retention incident. Your academy training, and the
martial arts, twist the wrist, attack the elbow weapon retention has
not prepared you for the fight of and for your life, and the grit it will take to keep
possession of your firearm once it is attacked by a desperate offender.
Cutting Edge
Training, LLC, is recognized as the leader in the training of peace officers
in effective and defensible control skills involving outcome-based,
simple to learn, gross-motor skill dependent, non-technical defense methods designed for
your average and/or least able officers. It is based upon
"Effective Combatives Problem-Solving,"©
permitting your officer to realistically problem solve defense
situations successfully. This training philosophy represents
over 30 years of development, refinement, and training to officers who
have successfully and repeatedly used the skills and lessons learned
to save their lives.
Our training seminar depends not upon nice little techniques that
look good on the academy floor and work only with a willing partner who
cooperates with straight arms and bending at the waist.
Instead, we provide the only truly outcome-based, gross-motor defense skills
training for police. No wristy-twisties that work every time on
compliant subjects here. Instead, you
get real-world training bringing you into the real-world where
someone, some day, may try to murder you with your weapon. We
provide that real-world training that really applies to your
real-world defense needs--training that will best work for you when
you are desperate,
adrenalized, scared, and when you truly believe that you are about to
die.
