This innovative one day end-user course formerly known as "New Techniques for Effective
Tactical Police Baton" provides a "stand on its own" baton system and promises to provide
effective techniques that can be easily incorporated into current straight baton and ground
fighting systems.
The use of the police baton continues to be a mainstay of officer survival, crowd control, and
officer defense and control. Unfortunately, many officers are not able to engage in
confrontations with effective quick strikes and blocks.
This course introduces techniques for overcoming long slow moves and is effectively suited
to responding to multiple offender attacks. These innovations will be presented utilizing the
simple and effective Modern Warrior System as pioneered by Modern Warrior.
Topics to be addressed include:
- Use of Force guidelines
- Kinetic principles and interruption of assault techniques
- Multiple assailant defenses
- Blocking, striking and trapping techniques
- Weak and strong hand use
- Takedowns and what to do when knocked to the ground
- Weapon Retention techniques
This course will be taught by retired Sgt. Bernie Hogancamp (Retired), and Officer Craig
Sline, both of the Homewood Police Department.
First responders must know what actions need to be taken for the most effective and safe
response. Any bombing incident may involve a secondary explosive attack. It may also
include taking action to rescue and recover victims.
Those attending will learn basic actions that must be accomplished for an effective response
and recovery. This includes rescue and recovery of victims, evidence recovery, and
restoration of essential community operations and services.
This course will teach any first responder how to plan for a bomb incident. Those attending
will learn how to identify and take appropriate actions in the event of a Weapon of Mass
Destruction involving energetic materials ie. explosives and incendiaries.
Classroom presentations will familiarize participants with commercial and military grade
explosives, improvised explosive devices (I.E.D.’s) and the appropriate protocols for these
types of incidents. Emphasis will be on identifying explosives, never handling or attempting
to move or dismantle suspected items. Only EOD specialists and bomb technicians are
capable of that task. First responders should never move, touch or handle explosives.
Topics Include:
- Examining the current Terrorist Threat –Terrorist groups and potential targets
- Recognition and Identification of Energetic Materials – commercial, military and
components of explosive devices and improvised explosives
- Responding to Pre-Detonation Situations Guidelines for officer safety and principles of
awareness and response for suspicious items and bombs.
- Decision factors for facility searches and evacuation considerations including factors of
time, distance, shielding.
- Responding to Post-Detonation – Establishing priorities, critical response actions (rescue,
scene control and evidence collections) with case studies from past incidents
This class is sponsored by the Illinois Terrorism Task Force, the Illinois State Board of
Education, and the Illinois Law Enforcement Alarm System.
This class will be taught by Mr. Ron Ellis, and Mr. John Merola, Senior Technician, Cook
County Sheriff's Police Bomb Squad.
