ASP Tactical Handcuffing is a 4-hour hands-on training seminar designed to train participants in the operational use of the hinged and chain handcuffs, as well as the proprietary ASP flex-cuffs.  The program is simple to learn and easy to understand.  It provides effective mechanical restraint tactics for law enforcement and private security personnel without long hours of training.  These tactics are quickly learned, easily practiced and readily maintained long after the program is completed.    

This course acquaints Law Enforcement, Protection & Security Officers with the operational use of the ASP Tactical Baton.  The handcuff techniques in this program are designed to meet three standards of training:   1) The techniques work on the street, not just in the classroom.  2) The techniques are court defensible and are backed by the nation’s most experienced use-of-force consultants.  3) The program is administratively feasible for use in a contemporary private security or law enforcement agency. 

The program provides portation (carrying) and presentation (drawing) procedures as well as application techniques.  The techniques were designed to work effectively for all users, male and female, large and small, physically fit as well as those in less-than-peak physical condition.    

Certification acknowledges that the individual has met a competency-based standard of knowledge and performance.  This is not a "show up and pass" type course.  Full active participation, effort, and satisfactory demonstration of techniques are required.
