International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Assn. (ILEETA) NO-COST REFRESHER ARREST and SELF-DEFENSE TRAINING Aug. 2010
We are pleased to announce the continued availability of police self-defense training through ILEETA. FOP and FLEOA member, 30 year police veteran, Bruce Jones teaches at the Reston, VA YMCA, about 5 miles from Dulles International Airport. Please feel welcome to visit the website at: www.budoshinjujitsu.org for the schedule; or, e-mail: B2jones@comcast.net with your questions. Decentralized travel training is also available on a specific written request basis in the various regions.
This Federal Law Enforcement Trng. Center (FLETC) and Police Officer Standards and Trng. (POST) advanced certified defensive tactics instruction may be useful to: police cadets, active and retired members, and/or their spouses. We find this concrete benefit to be useful for very practical reasons with budget constraints, and as an ILEETA membership recruitment tool. Furthermore, this Reston YMCA generously permits federal, state, and local police to stop in and try a 2 hour class for free, as a public service. In furtherance of this effort, the internationally recognized not-for-profit American Jujitsu Assn. also has formally voted a resolution of support designating this master teacher 7th degree black belt as their national representative for this purpose.
Priority subject matter areas include: use-of-force, testifying, strategies and tactics, weapon retention, expandable baton, OC spray, handcuffing, searching and restraining, effective close striking, blocking and trapping, wall and ground restraints, TASER, and 48 inch crowd control/riot baton. Our ILEETA active members working counterterrorism, organized crime, extremists, witness protection, executive protection, or violent gangs; also sometimes feel vulnerable to retaliatory threats against their homes or families. This police-sensitive issue is also addressed.
Many of our more senior officers/agents find it difficult to get good, safe, “police-friendly” refresher practice. Retired agents working contract investigations in bad areas can use this support and help. Retired couples find it useful traveling more safely together in retirement. For all of these reasons and more, you are cordially invited to participate in this program that prides itself on professional standards, and NO injuries; based upon your agency training policy.
In closing, for those active, and retired personnel with LEOSA firearms requalifications concerns, former Special Agent Jones has also identified Washington DC Metro area professional resources on his own, as a firearms instructor. The Virginia State Police have also been very supportive to work with in this regard.
Please be safe. Be happy. And be retired that way someday- if we take good care of ourselves. Let ILEETA help you.
