Riot Response & Civil Disturbance Course

Focus:  Tactical Team Members, Officers, Supervisors

Length:  8-16 hours

      Our "Riot Response and Civil Disturbance" course gives your agency most effective training for reasonably dealing with any level of civil disturbance or rioting in your jurisdiction.  This is the most rational and sensible method for dealing with rioting, civil disturbance, and mass arrest method yet developed for agencies and officers faced with policing these dangerous and high liability events.  How your officers respond to the initial stages of any civil disturbance will set the tone for the eventual outcome.  History has shown that a weak response generally leads to greater proper damage and individual injuries.  The recognition and appropriate response better serve to limit the threat to your community's safety and peace.

      Crowd control isn't simply lining up and "pushing a crowd."  There are dynamics within any group, especially those being led, having a political motivation, or crowds that have achieved anonymity with resulting mob-mindset.  This course provides the understanding of how to read a crowd and how best to respond and nullify its group-think mentality to effectively disperse it.

      This course can be presented in either an 8-hour or 16-hour format.  We offer maximum flexibility to your agency by essentially providing training options allowing you to customize your training to your needs.  Need to bring all of your officers up to speed on basic riot control training?  No problem.  The eight hour course will handle this.  Want your officers to have a thorough understanding of riot control and mass arrest?  The sixteen hour course will give it to your officers. 

Courses offered during the typical 8-hour course:

  • Principles of Riot Control

  • Riot Control Defensive Tactics and Baton Employment

  • Individual Riot Equipment Wear and Maintenance

  • Case Study Analysis/Lesson Learned

  • Squad Formation and Movement

  • Civil Disturbance Response

Additional courses offered in the typical 16-hour course:

  • Mobile Field Force Principles

  • Mass Arrest

      Each day's training features practical application skills training.  The physical skills training is the heart of this course.  All of the physical skills necessary for effective response are trained.
