“After fifteen years of law enforcement training (military and civilian) this was the first course that incorporated self-defense and weapon defense together. The concept is right on track. Fantastic- This is the best school I have ever attended. With no doubt, these techniques will make cops better and save their lives."

“This kind of training should be included in the first week or two of the police academy to give a full expectation of the dangers of police work. I've had no other training that simulates stress like this.”

"Once again, this is the best training that I have experienced. Very job oriented and personally oriented. I would like to continue with the training to advance with further skills."

Email Request for approval.
Here's a letter requesting close quarters defense training certifications with three solid points of justification and a request for approval:

[Chief's/Sherrif's Name]
[Chief of Police/Sheriff]
[Department Name] [Address]
Dear [Chief's/Sherrif's Name],
I hope this letter finds you in good health and high spirits. I am writing to formally request approval for the opportunity to attend Close Quarters Defense Training, [Insert Course name and P# Here] which can greatly enhance my skills and effectiveness as a law enforcement officer.
I have identified three key justifications for this training:
-
Enhanced Officer Safety: Close quarters defense training is designed to equip law enforcement officers with the necessary skills to effectively and safely manage high-risk situations in confined spaces. Given the nature of our work, encounters in close quarters are not uncommon. By attending this training, I aim to minimize risks to both myself and the public, ensuring that I can respond confidently and competently in these challenging situations.
-
Improved Community Relations: Effective close quarters defense techniques can help de-escalate confrontations and reduce the use of force when necessary. This, in turn, can lead to better community relations and increased trust between law enforcement and the community we serve. Attending this training will allow me to employ non-lethal methods of defense when appropriate, fostering a safer and more harmonious environment for all.
-
Professional Development: As a dedicated law enforcement officer, I am committed to continuous improvement and professional development. Close Quarters Defense training is recognized as a valuable asset in the skill set of modern law enforcement officers. By participating in this training, I aim to enhance my expertise and contribute positively to our department's mission.
I understand that the time and resources required for such training are significant. Therefore, I am open to options ranging from one to three days or one to three weeks, depending on what aligns best with the department's schedule and budget. The Governor's Office of Crime Prevention, Youth, and Victim Services funded this project under subaward number BJAG-2009-9000.
I kindly request your approval for me to attend this training program and assure you that I will bring back the knowledge and skills gained to benefit our department and community. I look forward to discussing this request further at your convenience.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
[Your Name]
[Your Badge/ID Number]
