The goal is to provide police officers with an understanding of the principles of Hard Empty Hand Control techniques. Hard Empty Hand Control techniques are defined as striking techniques. These techniques are used to control active aggression, with empty hands and feet, when the intermediate use of weapons is justified, but are not tactically available. The term hard is descriptive of the nature of the technique. Hard empty hand strikes are always defensive not offensive. These techniques are taught to protect lives from immediate danger. All hard empty hand control techniques are basic in nature; however, they address non-lethal use of force situations, and are generally reliable and effective when properly utilized. Police officers should learn and demonstrate knowledge of the striking areas as well as methods of striking. When these techniques become necessary, loud, clear, repetitive verbal commands are an important aspect of the control process. The subject needs to know what the officer desires him/her to do. In addition verbal and physical de-escalation is always preferred and should be attempted, if applicable. In training, safety is paramount. Perfect practice makes perfect. Proper technique is more important than the speed of technique application. Proficiency will increase the speed proportionally. Topics and techniques presented in this book will be of both great interest and great value to trainers and students of law enforcement.
