The Hicks Police Training System teaches law enforcement personnel how to use the appropriate level of controlled, articulated force necessary to respond to and effectively handle any type of physically dynamic situation. The system does not teach the use of impact weapons or the creation of space between officer and suspect. Instead, it provides law enforcement personnel with a full-range system of graduated physical control movements that are based on physics, physiology, kinesiology and geometric structure. The overall objective of The Hicks Police Training System is to train police officers to work in any environment or situation that arises, with the ability to adapt and meet changing circumstances and apply the correct response, use of force, control, or restraint that is necessary. In essence, it provides the link between weaponless tactics and effective community  patrol and policing.

This web page has been developed to share information with you about The Hicks Police Training System, the Hicks Training philosophy, and our growing base of Police, Cadet, and Tactical Training courses, products and programs. In the future, we will be continually updating this website with upcoming events and additional information. We welcome your feedback on this site and our programs as we endeavor to remain on the cutting edge of Police and Tactical Training.
