South County Command,
The Chikaming Township Police Department is hosting a use of force training. The training will be put on by Amir Khillah of Centurion Modern Law Enforcement Subject Control. Centurion is a MCOLES registered subject control school. Amir previously worked for Kalamazoo Department of Public Safety as a Police Officer, with 7 years of experience working as a subject control instructor for KVCC Police Academy. In addition Amir is a retired professional MMA fighter in the UFC. Amir holds a Masters degree in Human Performance from Western Michigan University and a Bachelors Degree in Exercise Physiology.
The majority of the time, each of our departments has 1-2 Officers working. We rely on each other as backup. It will be beneficial for our Departments to attend use of force training together. In almost every major use of force incident there were multiple departments involved. If we don't train together, we will be setting ourselves up for failure.
This training will cover the following areas:
-Knife defense
-Gun retention
-Ground sweeps/escapes
-Take downs
-Falls
Cost: $300 per certified Police Officer, $150 per Reserve Officer
