Two day basic handcuffing course.

With the upward trend by all levels of society to resist any form of authority, the use of handcuffs by security officers is becoming more wide spread.  Again there is no national standard to work with. SOS Protection & Surveillance have been working hand in hand with Freeway Training Solutions Ltd and compiled a course using our many years of experience which teaches the concept of handcuffs rather than a set course. We believe that security officers should have the skills needed to restrain a violent subject safely until police can attend however long that may take. We also believe the speed or quick-cuff should not be used by security officers as there is no strict supervision on their use as in government organizations. We currently have this course being examined by a major player within the security industry with a view to obtaining accreditation.

We provide three course levels.

• Basic
• In-house training supervisor
• Trainer

ONLY COURSE IN THE UK ACCREDITED BY THE I.P.S.A
