Week 2: Public Safety Officers Practice De-Escalation

Instructor Chris Matson guides Linn-Benton Campus Security through defensive strategies in Public Safety's De-Escalation Class, which meets monthly on Albany Campus in the Aerobics Room.  During the class, public safety officers work on defensive strategies that protect others and themselves from violence without the use of weapons.

Marcene Olsen and Sam vanTeijn practice counter blocking.  The De-Escalation training was on Tuesday, April 11, 2017.

Adam Weaver and Sam vanTeijn practice defensive strategies to keep someone safely restrained without causing damage to either person.
