CTC Restraint Training

Field applications

A complete system, shown in use.

These public films show de-escalation, the lateral position, the descent, a switch, and handcuffing from the side.

Two officers hold a person on his side on the grass. His face is visible.
Lateral control outside the training room. The face stays visible.

De-Escalation

Public field video. SafeWrap is used to hold and de-escalate, then finish with lateral handcuffing.

SafeWrap

Public field video. Officers transition a resisting person into SafeWrap and handcuff on the side.

SafeDown

Public system film covering SafeDown, the lateral position, entries, and solo survival.

SafeSwitch

Public training film from a juvenile setting, including a SafeSwitch while control stays in place.

Lateral Handcuffing

Public demonstration of why handcuffing does not have to start with a prone finish.

In the field

Public field video. SafeWrap used during an arrest. No serious injuries reported in the account of the incident.

Also taught in certification

Additional entries and restraints, tailored to your requirements. The core stays the same. What gets added is matched to the rooms you work in and the people you have to hold.

  • Prone Entry

    When someone is already face-down, the entry rotates them into the supine position instead of stacking weight on the back.

  • Turtle Entry

    When the person is curled and protecting, this entry flips the turtle on its shell to the supine position.

  • Intervention Entry

    Safely step into a fight or entanglement that is already underway, separate, de-escalate, and move it toward lateral control.

  • Seated Entry

    Start from a chair or a seated person and still finish in the lateral system.

  • 4-Point Restraints

    When more restraint is required, add it with enough people to do it safely. Not a pile-on.

  • Restraint Chair

    Move to a chair while the position, the face, and the airway stay accounted for.

  • WrapStrap

    Leg control for movement and transport, without giving the upper body back.

  • Solo Survival

    One person holds distance and early control until a second person arrives.

If these applications match the encounters your people actually have, request a conversation and we will map the certification path.
