Police, Security and Correctional Officers Feel The Need For Better Non-Deadly Training! (CDT)
Excessive Force causes deaths and law suits costing lives and thousands of dollars, sleepless nights and loss of jobs. So, police officers, correctional personel, security guards and even the enforcement officers for the Toronto conservation authority have certified in the "CDT system" of Justified Use of Force training!
In the last year the increase of members of the law enforcement and security
community have decided to participate in the CDT system of personal
protection.
"Last March, in Manatoba, two doormen killed patrons by using
excessive force instead of proper and safe techniques like CDT", says
Christopher Doyle (40) Canadian Representative for the CDT system.
Doyle
said the CDT system was designed after studying 600 excessive-force lawsuits
against police. The system relies on technique not strength, Doyle says he has
had a 150-pound student take down a 250-pound former football
player.
Police officers like the system because it is less than deadly
force." said Ron Yates (Police officer and Defensive Tactics Instructor for the
Hamilton Police Services)a CDT student. "It's more bi-lateral nerve centres and
buffered and braced joint manipulation."
Ron Yates (Police officer and
Defensive Tactics Instructor for the Hamilton Police Services), Paul Nowak
(Enforecment Officer for the Toronto Conservation Authority) Mike Ramble (Head
Correctional Officer for the Brantford Correctional System)and Glen Miller
(Security Guard) and others have certified in the CDT (Compliance Direction
Takedown) system of hands on justified use of force training on their own time
and with their own money because they see the necessity of the training in these
days of "Easy Sue" mentality!
"And in September 1999, in the Agincourt
Mall Loblaws, Patrick Shand died after two security guards "restraned" him."
added Doyle.
"In Ontario alone there are 50,000 security guards with NO use
of force training!" Reported Debra Black of The Toronto Sun
newspaper.
Alex Illechenko, Lawyer and CDT student adds:
"Civil
litigation is all about the search for a deep pocket, so a disproportionate or
careless use of force by you in defending yourself, can actually assist your
attacker to access your assets"
"We do not live in medieval Japan, but in
a modern litigious society, so any method used to defend ones physical
well-being, must also take into account ones future financial well
being."
"Once you make the choice to use force, you take on the legal
responsibility to use reasonable force, appropriate to the attack you are
facing."
"If you apply force disproportionate to the attack you are
facing, you may end up paying for your attackers long term medical care, despite
the fact that you were initially the person attacked"
Since receiving a
US Patent Pending in 1992 no person trained in CDT has ever been tried or listed
in a court of law anywhere in the world.
