Virtually all contact professionals are tasked with duties that place them in situations where the safe and effective management of subjects in and around vehicles is required. Interacting with subjects in and around vehicles presents a higher risk than other events due to the reduced ability to perceive threat cues from occupants and the possibility of the vehicle itself being used as a weapon (intentionally or unintentionally). This session is designed to address several tactical options and consideration to maximize personal safety. It incorporates classroom presentation, static vehicle training and scenario-based training. At the end of this 4-hour session students will be able to:
- Explain the threat areas of vehicle approaches.
- Explain the various danger zones of different types of vehicles.
- Describe various methods of concealing contraband and weapons in vehicles.
- Demonstrate proper vehicle positioning.
- Demonstrate safe approach and management of vehicles with tinted windows or vehicles in darkness.
- Demonstrate various tactical approaches of vehicles with multiple occupants.
- Demonstrate effective contact/cover roles.
- Demonstrate safe and effective removal of occupants from vehicles.
