The attacker must attempt to make contact with the victims' body or clothing. For an unarmed attack to be accomplished the attacker must extend his arm or leg towards the victim. The attacker must retract his arm or leg after an attack. Once the arm or leg is trapped, it can only be twisted in two directions. Twisting the arm or leg in either direction will take the attacker to the ground, while maintaining the leverage and control necessary for apprehension.
Distance is an important factor in the application of ANY technique.
The Tactical Restraint Baton will provide its user with the leverage and control to take a subject into a handcuffing position. Unlike chemical irritants and electric stun devices, the TR-22 maintains control over the suspect. When used properly, the subject will be placed in a joint-locking control position. In the event of a suspect obtaining control of a TR-22 it is nearly impossible that he will be able to properly utilize the device thus ensuring Officer safety. The TR-22 aids in the capture and control of combative subjects.
