Animal Control Officers encounter similar threats that patrol officers encounter throughout their workday. This course will make them aware of threat indicators and give them a basic introduction to the concept of officer safety. They will also learn how situational awareness and maintaining a safe interview stance can translate to defending yourself if the situation should arise.
This course will cover Texas Penal Code Ch.46 Weapons- 46.15(g) Nonapplicability and how it applies to Animal Control Officers. Hands on training for use of a bite stick will include how to safely handle a collapsible baton to include opening and closing as well as defensive stances to safely access the bite stick. This course will also cover defensive posturing with a fixed and collapsible baton in order to deter an attack from an animal.
*This course does not include self-defense from the ground*
