PPCT Programs

 

	Defensive Tactics This 40 hour PPCT Defensive Tactics course is the first subject control system developed through tactical, legal, and medical research. Tactically, the system addresses the most common types of resistance officers encounter, allowing the instructor to maximize training on job related techniques. Legally, the PPCT System teaches a simple use of force continuum, which clarifies the appropriate force level for every level of resistance. Medical research was conducted on every PPCT technique to refine technique efficiency and to ensure the medical implications were proportional to the level of resistance.

The second phase of training will focus on the PPCT Knife Defense techniques, based upon a realistic, yet highly aggressive check and stun philosophy. This system has evolved to the simplest form, where all of skills are gross motor skills that are compatible to the affects of survival stress. This simplicity in design allows for quicker learning and retention under the stress of a knife assault.

	Sharpening the Warrior's Edge Sharpening the Warrior's Edge is the first 8 hour course to examine survival and combat performance from a scientific perspective. This course examines how survival stress affects three components of officer survival; survival reaction time, survival skill performance, and courtroom testimony. The focus of this course presents research explaining the relationship between survival stress, deteriorating survival skill performance, and why perceptual narrowing (tunnel vision, auditory exclusion, critical incident amnesia) occurs. Besides analyzing how stress affects all aspects of performance, Sharpening the Warrior's Edge provides students with strategies and techniques designed to lower the heart rate before subject confrontation, which in turn enhances the officers' perceptual skills, reaction time, and survival skill performance.
