This training is being created due to the many current law enforcement experiences with violent resistive and dangerous subjects coupled with the rising hostility towards police officers and law enforcement in general. The need for proper vehicle extraction training is invaluable. Officers are expected to be able to handle a physical confrontation quickly, efficiently and professionally as they are ultimately responsible for the safety of all involved parties.

The first response of a Law enforcement officer who gets into a verbal confrontation with a resisting occupant of a motor vehicle, should be to de-escalate and ask the suspect out of the vehicle. The Vehicle extraction training will be focused on when an officer is unable to de-escalate, and the resister refuses to get out of the vehicle. At this point, the officer must rely on force options to remove the suspect from the vehicle and place him/her under arrest. These techniques, when applied correctly, will remove the resistor from the vehicle without causing unnecessary injury to the suspect or the officer. These techniques give officers force options to effectively and safely remove a resisting suspect from a motor vehicle.

Vehicle Extraction for Law Enforcement will provide participants with functional knowledge of Vehicle Extraction techniques to subdue non-compliant occupants. Participants will be able to demonstrate proper vehicle extraction techniques for effectiveness and safety of both the officer member and the suspect. This course was developed due to the rise of non-compliant occupants in motor vehicles, failing to provide proper identification and refusing to exit the vehicle. Having a functioning knowledge of vehicle extraction gives an officer the ability to quickly control a suspect and protects the officer against the dangers presented by a non-compliant occupant, including existing traffic and the occupant’s vehicle becoming a weapon against the officer. The techniques learned in this course are designed to keep both the officer and the suspect safe and have been proven in real life situations.
