In the State of Connecticut, instructor certifications for OC Spray, Baton, and Handcuffing are all separate disciplines.

While many states combine these topics into defensive tactics or arrest & control, Connecticut requires individual certification in each area.

Due to continued demand, we are once again offering our Triple Certification Instructor Course covering all three disciplines in one comprehensive program.

This course is CT POSTC certified and reflects the same curriculum taught to new recruits at the Connecticut Police Academy fully aligned with the Officer Survival Series: De-escalation Through Confidence system.

In addition, this course includes Team Arrest Procedures, focusing on coordinated, multi-officer approaches to safely and effectively take subjects into custody.

📅 October 26-30th 2026
🕘 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM

📍 Hartford, CT

This course is open to all law enforcement, corrections, parole, probation, and school security officers.
