Led by federal law enforcement instructor - Chris Mandigma and former US Navy SEAL - Kenny Bigbee Jr., this 2-day intensive seminar delivers a modern approach to arrest and control grounded in constraints-led learning, and real-world police violence patterns. Officers will move beyond rote technique repetition and develop adaptable, pressure-tested solutions for managing resistant and assaultive subjects.

Training emphasizes high-percentage control tactics, efficient transitions, and decision-making under stress. Participants will work through progressive drills and live scenarios that replicate the unpredictability of actual encounters—tight spaces, rapid escalation, non-compliant subjects, and weapon-access risk.

The end state: officers who can solve problems in motion, not just perform techniques in isolation.
