Great Basin Tactical

G.B.T. Arrest and Control Program

 

Great Basin Tactical programs are designed for public safety officers who deal with conflict or
potential violence. This includes corporate security, federal, state and local law enforcement
organizations, contract security companies, academic or healthcare law-enforcement and
security, corrections, military police, probation and parole, bail enforcement, and executive
protection.

G.B.T. Arrest and Control Tactics provide customized training programs for Law Enforcement,
security, healthcare, and other public service industries. Our programs emphasize injury
prevention, effective teamwork in a crisis, employee morale, and industry standard legal
obligations.

As a law enforcement officer, you will come in contact with people in a wide variety of
contexts. Some encounters are much like ordinary social or business contacts. In some
situations, however, your duties may require you to exert control over people by giving them
orders, directing their movement, or even taking them into custody. Your goal always is to get
subjects to comply voluntarily. If they do, you will have achieved your objective without
making the encounter unnecessarily adversarial and without any risk of injury to officer or
subject.

Unfortunately, even the best efforts of the most skilled officer to gain voluntary compliance do
not always work. Sometimes you will have to use physical force to achieve control and
accomplish your legitimate law enforcement objective. with G.B.T Arrest and Control Tactics,
you will learn when and how to use and to teach officers how to use physical force to control
people. Arrest and Control techniques are psychomotor skills, which mean that they involve
both the brain and the muscles. For that reason, you will spend much of your time in Arrest
and Control Instructor Training actually practicing the techniques—learning the skills first in
isolation, and then eventually applying them in simulations.
