The goal is to develop the officer's understanding and awareness regarding firearms retention techniques, and to enhance Weapon Retention and Disarming abilities. Law enforcement is normally achieved without any danger to the officer or other citizens. However, police officers occasionally encounter persons who will resist violently in order to evade detection and prosecution. Officers or civilians may be killed or injured by offenders who take and use an officer's firearm. In some close encounters, a suspect may try to grab the officer's sidearm. Then the officer's equipment, stance and his/her ability to react may literally decide his/her fate. Loss of the officer's gun could mean the loss of his/her life. Officers must develop a defensive awareness that their weapon can be snatched. They should learn some basic techniques to regain control of the firearm once it has been snatched from them. In extreme cases, the officer has to deal with the threat of deadly violence, i.e. disarming a suspect pointing a firearm. Any attempt to disarm a suspect who is pointing a firearm at the officer is a last resort measure. If an officer is alert and attentive to potential dangers, this last resort will never have to be employed. This chapter will focus on weapon retention (defensive awareness, regain control) and describe some techniques for disarming which must only be used as last resort. Topics and techniques presented in this book will be of both great interest and great value to trainers and students of law enforcement.
