Corrections Officers Issue Law Suit on Sheriff Office

Ok, with everything that’s going on now a days, I’m not surprised that these issues are starting to surface inside the jails/institutions. This particular issue could have been avoided should they had a well trained CERT/SORT team or Corrections Tactical Operarions team of some sort. Now, I’m not familiar with Ramsey County Sheriff's Office so I don’t know if they have one or not, but it is apparent that they did not use it in this case. Individuals like this former officer should be assigned to the tactical team.

This individual should have been categorized as a high risk, high profile, high value inmate....all three! If you have a trained team, and I mean TRAINED!!!!! Then color & gender of the inmate does not matter. All movement to and from this inmates cell should be conducted by this team and this team ONLY! This would reduce any issues because should there be any issues this team should be able to handle it. “If” there is any negative issues on the part of the officers, you know where to start your investigation. But, being that these officers are well trained, there shouldn’t be any issues.

By being well trained, their professional demeanor and skills should show and the department would not have to go through any legal litigation issues nor injuries to anyone or at the very least significantly reduce it. This would also free up line staff to continue to do their daily duties.

They would not be in this legal issue right now. This is why we offer the training and courses that we do and why we train our students to the high standards and tempo that we do!

I urge all command staff in the jails, prisons and institutions to look at their tactical team and invest in professional training for their team. Hand me down training with all of what’s going on is going to put your department in a predicament of possible “cultural” dilemmas. By “cultural dilemmas” we mean, that if the CERT team has a culture of being heavy handed (for example), if you continue passing on that same style of training, nothing is going to change or improve. You have to bring in someone from the outside with updated ideas and training to ensure professional standards are kept and passed on.

Be safe everyone and we hope to see you all at any of our courses in the near future! Be safe!

In-Custody Tactical Vehicle HRT

#tbt here you have a few students finishing up some exercises while conducting an In-Custody Tactical Vehicle HRT. As difficult as it can be to conduct such an operation on a 15 passenger van, add to that: low light, crappy intel, oh....and add to that the fact that there is a cage inside of the van. Yep, this is Corrections Tactical Operarions.

This In-Custody Tactical HRT/Vehicle Ops Course is a week long class and student must first go through our basic In-Custody Tactical HRT Course.

Don’t miss out, come and train with some of the best corrections tactical operations instructors around!!

# TBT : Throwback Thursday- way back and a little of the present.

 #tbt putting a little bit of background history here on this throwback Thursday. All the way from right before high school to present day, martial arts has always been part of my life and a way to de-stress.

Two guys who have been with me on my martial arts road on and off Halim Rodriguez  and Chris Cantu and one main mentor, Edwin Rodriguez. What an interesting ride brothers!!

Danger in Corrections: Why the Corrections Tactical Operator NEEDS to evolve

VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED::::

This video shows how dangerous, volatile and explosive the world of a Corrections Officer can be. The new times that we currently live in  different times. Times where inmates having cell phone in their cells with the ability to record themselves and all the things that go on inside their cells and pods.

As you can see from this video, Pepper Spray, sting ball grenades had “0” effect on the determined inmates. They know, expect and prepare for our tactics...the majority of most corrections tactical operations teams still use 1970’s era tactics....if you don’t think they know your tactics and are ready, you’re fooling yourself. Corrections NEEDS to wake up and realize that the days of the “knuckle dragger..6’2, 300lbs, line backer with a shield” are over! Those tactics will only get the officers, Inmate hurt or worse, eventually opening up the department for legal liability issues putting thousands of not millions in the inmates bank account.

We need to change, grow and adapt just like they do. Check the video out, learn and adapt. Be safe, be smart, be vigilant, train hard!!

TOG-US: High Risk/Value/Profile Inmate Transports

This is a quick inside look at one of our Basic High Risk/Value/Profile Inmate Transports Courses. Transporting Inmates of such high caliber of liability, teams need to properly train and know all that goes into it. This is key for the safety of the public,

Our training Cadre is well versed and experienced in conducting and teaching such high liability courses. When it comes to training, you want to make sure the instructors have not just the intellectual knowledge but the field experience to complement course taught.

SOFIC 2018

SOFIC kicks off in a few hours...we’re going to be making our rounds some time this week...hopping to catch up with some good friends there, maybe make some new ones....who’s going?

See you there!! 

Corrections High Risk/Value/Profile Inmate Transport Course

In this video you see some of our past students conducting part of a series of exercises designed to mimic real world scenarios that they may encounter while conducting a high risk/Value/Profile Inmate Transport.  

They are using live ammo at this level of training. Takes lots of practice to get here...but here you see Correctional Tactical Operators putting in work!!!

Corrections Tactical Operations Mid-Level Training

High Risk/Value/Profile Inmate Transport and  Down Officer Rescue are two of our courses that requiere the Corrections Tactical Operator to have a “A-Game” mentality. Transporting such a high classification of inmates is not just “restrain them and throw them in the van and go”. If you’re to have the safety of the public, yours and the Inmate, it needs to be conducted right!! NO Shortcuts! 

For more info, jump over to our Training Calendar Page. 

One of our most sought out courses and one of the most critically needed out in our field. No substitution for real live/world experience. 

As always, when we host trainings at our training site...the training tuition includes onsite lodging.  

Corrections Basic Tactical Operations Training Course

If you’re in a Corrections Tactical Team and your team could use updated tactical training or you’re on a team and you’re just looking to enhance your skills...this is the course for you! 

This training course would be comparable to a Basic SWAT course, the only difference is that’s geared and tailored for the Corrections Tactical Operator. Jump over to our training calendar tab for more information on it!! 

Real live experience in your field matters! 

Build a good solid foundation and everything else will fall into place!! This is the responsabilility of every good tactical operator no matter if he is SWAT, Special Forces or Corrections.
