Law enforcement has had many high- profile cases of excessive force. The SPEAR system will help reduce an officer’s fear and restore rational cognitive behavior after a violent assault has begun. SPEAR is not a martial art but rather a bridge to your agency’s arrest and control techniques. It recognizes that an ambush will place officer's at a disadvantage, and higher- level reasoning will be hijacked by primitive brain responses to protect the head and neck. Specific interview positions called nonviolent postures help protect the officer. This system will permit the officer to weather the ambush and employ higher-level brain functioning skills. Agencies that have adopted this program have seen a reduction in force complaints and have reduced injuries when using body weight for training.
