Use of Force: Surviving the Streets- O'Fallon
Advertisement
Training Force USA is proud to partner with the O'Fallon Police Department to bring this high-impact use of force training to the region.
Over 85,700 law enforcement officers were assaulted in the line of duty in 2024, a 10-year high. Sixty-four did not go home.
Surviving those encounters takes more than physical skill. It takes legal knowledge, tactical decision-making, a prepared mindset, and the ability to act decisively under extreme stress while remaining accountable to policy, law, and the public watching.
Use of Force: Surviving the Streets and Beyond is a full-day course built around the ARMs Use of Force model, developed by instructor Don Moore after decades of research into what actually reduces the severity and frequency of force incidents. The ARMs model places the officer at the center of the continuum, providing a range of strategic options to counter aggression rather than locking officers into a rigid response ladder. The result is better outcomes, stronger accountability, and fewer "lawful but awful" incidents that destroy careers and community trust.
This course is Missouri POST Certified for 4 hours of credit: 1 hour interpersonal perspectives, 2 hours technical studies, and 1 hour legal studies.
