Veteran law enforcement officer Keith Livingston teaches the keys to controlling a suspect during the arrest process, with a focus on subduing noncompliant subjects. Keith begins by reviewing officer safety including positioning, stance and awareness, then moves into the two officer contact and cover technique, teaching simple takedowns to subdue noncompliant suspects. The instruction wraps up with a look at taking control of a knife-wielding attacker through the use of scenario assessment, distance and the officer's use of deadly force. Keith demonstrates techniques for defusing the most common types of knife attacks based his many years of experience as a patrol officer.
