Sergeant Shawn Mottram Completes Defensive Tactics Instructor Course

MCC Public Safety Sergeant Shawn Mottram recently completed a two week long Division of Criminal Justice Services (DCJS) Defensive Tactics Instructor Course. 

This instructor level course focused on training defensive tactics instructors in a principle based defensive tactics system.The principle-based tactics system, which includes instruction on a simplified and reduced number of tactics, will provide instructor candidates with improved methodology and additional time to master the hands-on tactics while in the training environment. The course was developed by a panel of subject matter experts and consists of 10 days of training. It combined lectures and practical exercises with a focus on safety, equipment, training principles and techniques designed to give trainers the skills and instructor manual to develop and conduct hands on defensive tactics training.
