Tactical Baton and Handcuff Certification Course

The program is simple to learn and easy to understand. It provides efficient training and tactics for security industry professionals, developed by security professionals, without long hours of training. The techniques are designed to work effectively for all individuals, male and female, large and small.

This one day course is taught on a practical base through hands-on training. Topics to be covered include the safest approach and positioning for handcuffing, handcuffing non-compliant subjects, prone handcuffing, removing handcuffs, etc. In using handcuffs, the safety of the security personnel, the public and the safety and security of the subject being restrained are the foremost considerations.

Women’s Street Safe Professional Self-Protection

WHAT?

A non-martial arts system of instilling a natural and instinctive physical ability to disengage and/or control dangerous situations

The U.R.C Tactical “IRIS System” approach to self –protection, is a “Use of Force” based “tactile” system which uses no punching or striking, but techniques which trigger deeply embedded “Nervous System Defensive Responses”. We achieve this through manipulation of sensory input systems in the subject, which causes them to immediately cease their actions or back down into U.O.F. friendly postures or positions.By using deeply embedded “natural and instinctive” offensive actions the system can be taught and retained in a short period of time, be flexible in its application and be used immediately under stress without hesitation.

• The “Predator” mindset
• 3 things a predator doesn’t want
• Types of violence
• 360 degree No-Vision escape from holds or traps
• High speed “tactile” dis-engagement/takedowns
• How martial arts or combat systems are not the answer

Why…
The “IRIS System”, is a system that is natural and instinctive. A system that is immediately reproducible outside of the training arena. A system that can be learned and mastered within hours, not weeks or months or years. A system that does not need weekly training in order to be effectively retained by the user. A system that helps women manipulate a more often than not, larger attacker no matter what size, fitness level or skill set the woman has.

U.R.C Tactical “IRIS System” approach to self-protection, is a “Use of Force” based “tactile” system which uses no punching or striking, but techniques which trigger deeply embedded “Nervous System Defensive Responses”. We achieve this through manipulation of sensory input systems in the subject, which causes them to immediately cease their actions or back down into dis-engagement friendly postures or positions.
By using deeply embedded “natural and instinctive” offensive actions, this system can be taught and retained in a short period of time, be flexible in its application and be used immediately under stress without hesitation.

Upon completion of the core system, officers will be able to produce under stress:
• High speed/organic de-escalation techniques
• Adrenal stress condition awareness and self-control
• 360 degree No-Vision disengagement from non-telegraphic engagement
• 360 degree No-Vision U.O.F retention
• 360 degree No-Vision escape from holds or traps
• Ability to affect low-level defense or controls, upon passive or active resistive subjects, without sacrificing the readiness of U.O.F options.
• High speed tactile takedowns

The core system becomes a universal engagement/dis-engagement tactical ability which, in turn, increases the ability to integrate other U.O.F options such as strong Covert Improvised Defensive Tactics or Ground Extraction Techniques. The system is unique in technique and ease of use for users of both genders and from all backgrounds regardless of age or physical abilities. Skills that are functional, practical and instinctive are paramount to a successful outcome in today’s real and organic L.E or security situations.

• Decreased Liability
• Increased user safety and skill set
• Decreased training timeframes
• Results in spending less and increasing the internal training system.

Covert Improvised Defensive Techniques
Accelerated UC/CP Officer and Armed Detail/In-Flight Security, Defensive Tactics Platform

U.R.C. Tactical “IDT” System is a covert system of self-protection utilizing the most common of daily implements. This system is extremely low-visual, non-telegraphic in its application and, as such, maintains the low stature of the UC/CP officer and heightens the psychological trauma to the aggressor. As a result, the risk of creating “relationships” with bystanders or the general public is minimized and preserves the integrity of the UC officer and his/her objective, as well as minimizing the level of public impact surrounding the CP principal or In-Flight security personnel.

What are the concerns?
From the personal experiences and field work of its training staff, U.R.C. Tactical found that there was always something missing from the defensive tactics training of field UC/CP personnel: what to use when you are unable to access your U.O.F. option, you were legally/operationally unable to carry a U.O.F option or you have exhausted your available U.O.F. options.

From UC to in-flight security, the amount of public recognition is always a threat to the safety of the team and those surrounding the officers. Too much interest from the general public can lead to early detection of the identity of the UC operator/CP principal, or an unjust amount of stress inside the “tube” when transporting a deportee.All of which leads to an extreme amount of attention when a threat has been registered and use of force has to be accessed. The general public may already have a negative perception of the personnel or team before this point if they have been detected. At this point, current U.O.F options are extremely high visible and may lead to increased liability to the security officer or the company, as the general public has an unrealistic assessment of who the UC/CP officer or in-flight security are and what level of “force to threat” was used. As well as the increased liability of video evidence due to the number of data capturing devices on every cell-phone currently available.

What is the answer?
To develop a DT platform that is low visual, non-telegraphic and can be applied with a common daily use implement. U.R.C. Tactical “IDT” is just such a system. Using a common implement, the UC/CP operator or in-flight security will be able to move freely through and between environments, (including airport security) without having to worry about being detected or creating “relationships” as a result of the U.O.F. option they are carrying. When they are called upon to access the U.O.F. option, the psychological impact is just as strong as the physical impact. Threat compliance will be administered quietly, swiftly and effectively by what will seem like an empty hand by both “bystander” as well as “aggressor”

Bill C-45: The Westray Bill and Bill 168
In July of 2003, Bill C-45 was put forth as an act to amend the Criminal Code
of Canada as it pertains to the Criminal Liability of Organizations. The act saw changes to legislation putting greater onus on the part of those with responsibility for directing the work of others, requiring such individuals to take reasonable steps to prevent bodily harm arising from related work. Employers directing staff to work in environments which pose a real physical threat to the employee, now face much greater consequences should they fail to provide appropriate training to address such concerns.

Bill 168 has legislation regarding responsibilities for employers to ensure added safety and training for staff against intimidation, bullying and physical aggression in the workplace.
Teaching the “IDT System” as an option for low-visual, non-telegraphic compliance, direction and takedown will have a positive effect on the confidence and skill set of the operator. The “System” can be taught effectively in a short duration and can be accessed under extreme duress. It will also bolster a positive effect on engagement/dis-engagement strategies
