Dave Smith and Roy Bedard discuss police use of neck restraints. While this technique begins to gain in popularity after several decades of non-use, there is still a lot to consider when drafting policy and providing professional training. Several points are discussed in this 10 minute video designed as a primer for police trainers and administrators.Neck Restraints Video

Developed exclusively for personnel in public safety, the PROTECTORS program used a job task analysis in its program design. Built for police, firefighters, military, EMS and corrections personnel the program includes physical fitness skills, nutrition, mental fitness and coach development. The PROTECTORS program seeks to change the culture of public safety workers through evidenced based skills and fitness development designed to build greater efficiency and reduce work related injuries.

PROTECTORS Performance

In today’s PoliceOne video tip, trainer Roy Bedard demonstrates techniques for taking front and rear falls in a tactically sound fashion.

In addition to showing you how to protect your head, abdomen and body “sharp points,” he demonstrates how to protect both a handgun and a long gun you may be holding in a way that prepares you to quickly get back on target.

Tactical Falls

The Rapid Rotation Baton (RRB) System is an injection molded nylon baton that is held firmly to the users backside with a Kydex security holster. Developed by police tactics expert Roy Bedard, the weapon’s effectiveness is in the unique design, which makes the RRB easy to learn and easy to use. The RRB Systems USA device, unlike other intermediate weapons, addresses virtually all personal protection possibilities. Because it can be rapidly rotated in the hand, it can be used in the close quarters, at a distance, on the ground, or against grips, grabs and body holds. With all of the possibilities, it represents a complete defensive system which is not dependent on an officer’s size and strength.
