In this DAAT refresher course, students will revisit techniques from their academy but in a different context than they may have seen previously. Specifically, students will review fundamental techniques that police commonly employ, such as strikes, baton draw, jab & strike, weapon control, retention and transition. Each of these core skills will be practiced in a variety of settings to ensure proficiency. Moreover, students will more fully understand how to integrate the above techniques and tactics from multiple positions and situations. Instruction will focus primarily on low level physical exercises such as movement and striking drills. As such, officers should wear loose fitting clothing suitable for defensive tactics instruction. Duty belts and ballistic vests are also required.
