The CAPCOG Regional Law Enforcement Academy is conducting two certification courses and one recertification course for law enforcement officers seeking to train fellow officers and the public on self-defense tactics. The courses will take place at CAPCOG, 6800 Burleson Road building 310 suite 165 with a Threat Pattern Recognition Instructor course from July 18 through 22, its recertification course on July 14 and 15, and a Sexual Harassment and Rape Prevention Instructor course from August 1 through 3.
The Threat Pattern Recognition Instructor course provides attendees with 12 different teaching certifications related to self-defense tactics used by peace officers to minimize risk of injury to officers and assailants to include methods for tactically handcuffing, using pressure points to control suspects, threat recognition and more. The Sexual Harassment and Rape Prevention course trains officers how to educate women to resist and combat assailants, prevent assaults, and recognize potentially harmful risk factors. Besides hands-on lessons, it covers prevention psychology topics as well as managing social and professional harassment. Peace officers can register for the courses at training.capcog.org/by-topic/law-enforcement.
