Impact Weapons Instructor:  Train-the-Trainer

Sonoma Co., CA, SO IWI class

Focus:  All peace officers serving as agency trainers

Length:  32 hours 

Cutting Edge Training’s "Impact Weapons Instructor: TRAIN-THE-TRAINER" is unique in all of law enforcement. This course provides instruction for those officers and trainers tasked with training other officers in impact weapons to defend against physical assault as well as controlling suspects.  In-depth explanations of why the Universal Rules and Principles of Defense© are the basis of all successful impact weapons employment are offered.  Additionally, instructor-candidates are presented and expected to practice the latest in physical skills training theory and lesson plan documentation. Documentation of force training, in combination with all of the skills and mastery of the course topics, sets this training apart from all others of its type.

Our baton response employment philosophy is simple:  if a suspect's behavior and actions are so out of control that he forces an officer to resort to a baton, the officer's reasonable response is to strike that subject as few times as possible in order to stop the fight as early as possible.  There is no reliance upon some mysterious "fluid shock" theory that benefits only the suspect and baton manufacturers, resulting in a greater number of increasingly difficult to justify strikes.  Instead, that means an effective force response to effective, reasonable targets to get the situation resolved quickly with the fewest number of injuries. Throughout this baton training, every strike is predicated upon articulating the reasonableness of that strike in the context of the employment.  Our instructor-candidates hear and repeat the law regarding the use of force constantly within the class.  We employ the simplest yet most effective training program in existence, while maintaining strict liability exposure mitigation.

Mr. Williams striking bagWe take less time to provide more to the instructor-candidate than other instructor courses do in 80-hours over two weeks.  The Impact Weapons Instructor training is an integrated force philosophy that is the most effective method of employing this level of force by police.  The instructor-candidate is trained in how to train methods designed to increase the effectiveness of the officer in any threatening situation that calls for the use of an impact weapon.

 

Let us teach your instructors how to increase the effectiveness and reasonable employment of impact weapons by your officers!

 

The Highest Evolution
of Law Enforcement Instructor/
TRAIN-THE-TRAINER Training

CUTTING EDGE TRAINING provides the highest evolution of instructor training yet to be devised.  We can say this boldly because we have devoted years to the evolution of how we train the trainers of law enforcement.  We were perplexed that all instructor classes seem to be simply advanced user classes where the participant was expected to fully master the material, teach for five to fifteen minutes, and then receive an instructor certificate.  We have worked and changed and fine-tuned our train-the-trainer process until we have what is now the finest method of teaching your trainers to be coaches and leaders in the classroom, mat room, and live-fire range.

This completely different process of bringing ordinary officers into the category of "competent police trainer" is something you'd expect from CUTTING EDGE TRAINING.  We are the original, and, so far, the only police trainers to bring you training that is:

  • Outcome-based:  There are no techniques trained in our system...only "Effective Combatives Problem-Solving"© featuring the "Universal Rules and Principles of Defense."©  The only determination of whether the officer's method of defense and control was "correct" is that the officer was not injured and survived, and his/her force response was legally reasonable and within policy.

  • Gross-motor skills dependent:  We are the only system that depends solely upon gross-motor skills in our combatives problem-solving efforts.

  • Non-Technical:  "Techniques" are fine-motor skills that routinely fail in the street.  We teach no techniques because techniques only work against willing police officers on the mat and small children.  Instead, we teach you to solve your combatives problems using naturally hard-wired solutions that are easy for every officer, regardless of level of ability.

This Train-The-Trainer course is the premier "instructor-certification" program for your agency trainers to learn how to train your officers in the reasonable and effective impact weapon force response and suspect control.

Recertification Program for Instructors

If any individual who has been certified as an instructor wishes to attend the course again to become aware of the many changes and updates to the Universal Defense Systems program, we offer a significant tuition discount.  Contact us for the current discount rate.  We look forward to seeing you again! 

NOTE:  There are NO recertification requirements by CUTTING EDGE TRAINING for instructors.  We believe recertification requirements by other systems are simply an income-generating scheme designed to separate officers and their agencies from their training dollars.  "Recertification" is and should be a voluntary training activity by those who seek to deepen their understanding of the course material offered.

Cutting Edge Training, LLC, offers its past instructors significant discounts on any instructor/Train-the-Trainer course they wish to attend in order to refresh or deepen their understanding of "Effective Combatives Problem-Solving" through the Universal Rules and Principles of Defense.©
