Defensive
Tactics / Subject Control
Gary Sikorski has the privilege of being the Use of Force
Coordinator and Primary
Defensive Tactics Instructor since the inception of the Schoolcraft Police Academy
at Schoolcraft College in May of 1989. The Defensive Tactics program has
gone through many changes over the years and has evolved into one of the
most realistic, cutting edge, reality based training programs in the state.
Defensive Tactics and Subject Control Training at Wayne County Regional
is a combination of mental and physical discipline, proper decision making,
and academic excellence.
Recruit
Officers learn practical and effective techniques to control subjects
from the lowest level of resistance to the highest level of aggression.
Schoolcraft Police Academy (Wayne County Regional Police Training Center) has moved away from what Sikorski calls "Choreographed"
Defensive Tactics Training into Full Force, Outcome Based Training. By
the time the recruit completes the D.T. Program, they will have successfully defended themselves against numerous violent all-out assaults,
in many cases physically bringing the subject into a position of control without ever having had to strike the subject to
gain compliance and control. The current Use of Force program being taught
at Wayne County Regional fulfills the MCOLES Defensive Tactics training objectives and performance outcomes like no
other police academy.
If You Fail to Prepare... Prepare to FAIL!
Wayne County Regional Takes
Training Out of the Classroom and into the Real World!
Throughout
the course of the Academy, D.T. training is conducted in a number of real
world settings. Handcuffing, arrest, and control tactics are completed
in parking lots, in and around vehicles, and in other real world settings. Conducting the training scenarios in these realistic settings
provide environmental anchors and cues, to better prepare officers for
the reality of their work environment.
