Course detail: Instinctive Hand-to-Hand Combat

This course is a hands-on approach to real-world combatives, emphasizing officer survival and proper use of force. Footwork, striking, takedowns and control holds, and ground fighting are just some of what we cover. The course teaches training drills to lay a foundation for future in-house training. We emphasize the basics because they will never let you down. 

By chaining the basics together, the system becomes very advanced. We intend to push students physically to show them they can keep going and never give up. It is also our intention for students to ENJOY this type of training, not dread it, so that they will continue practicing what they learn. Attendees work at their own skill level, so all are encouraged to attend. Students will finish the day exhausted but having gained confidence in their own skills as well as their co-workers' abilities. This USDSA course includes a discussion on ethics, professionalism, proper use of force, and duty to intervene.

Notice of Availability of the KLETC Annual Security and Fire Safety Report

 

The University of Kansas has determined that the Kansas Law Enforcement Training Center (KLETC) main campus in Hutchinson and its regional sites in Dodge City, Hays, and Parsons are separate campuses. This determination was made in consultation with the Department of Education. The report is available online at: https://civilrights.ku.edu/clery.

 

The report contains information regarding campus safety and security including topics such as: campus law enforcement authority; crime reporting policies; campus alerts (Timely Warnings and Emergency Notifications); fire safety policies and procedures; programs to prevent sexual assault, domestic violence, dating violence, and stalking; the procedures the institution will follow when one of these crimes is reported; and other matters of importance related to security on campus. The report also contains information about crime statistics for the three most recent calendar years concerning reported crimes that occurred On-Campus; in On-Campus Student Housing Facilities; in Non-Campus buildings or property owned or controlled by the institution or a recognized student organization; and on Public Property within, or immediately adjacent to and accessible from, the campus. The report also contains fire statistics for any fires occurring in an On-Campus Student Housing Facility during the three most recent calendar years.
