This TRICOM LE Instructor Certification course is hosted by the Westchester County Police Department and in this 3-day training event, we'll be focusing on closing the gap to control a resistant and non-compliant individual using the Tactical Clinch. The Tactical Clinch exploits the various options more appropriate to real-world environments, weapon-based environments for Law Enforcement, military and security personnel.
