TESTIMONIALS
|
"The DVD, Basic CQC, was excellent ... you are significantly improving the skill and knowledge level of all the officers who watch these video's, as well as improve the base line level of training throughout the state. The information and techniques presented will without doubt save officer's lives and careers and you nailed many of the gaps and weakness I see in most firearm training programs."

“I’ve discovered POSA’s website a few months ago through PoliceOne.com which I’m a member. I’ve rapidly started learning [POSA’s techniques] on Empty Hand Knife Defence and Close Quarter Combat Techniques. It proved me right because two months ago an inmate assaulted me with a shank and stabbed me 3 times. I got out of the incident with only minor injuries. I reacted fast and efficiently—POSA’s video training are very useful and effective.”
