About PPCT Training

PPCT training has become an internationally recognized authority on research-based use-of-force and tactical team training for criminal justice agencies. The PPCT Corporation specializes in training instructors for police, corrections, security, and military academies throughout the world.

PPCT is best recognized for developing training systems based on documented tactical, legal, and medical research. This unique approach allows PPCT to design training systems that are quick and simple to learn, and easy to retain, while reducing the potential for significant injuries. This combination has become immediately popular with administrators and field officers, for they now have use-of-force training which is reliable and defensible in court.

From 1980 to 1987, PPCT concentrated on the development of nonlethal force subject control systems. By 1988, a methodology for assimilating documented tactical, legal, and medical research became the foundation of PPCT training systems.

PPCT has expanded its research to become an international authority in nonlethal force subject control, tactical firearms and officer survival training.

Today, PPCT has become one of the largest use-of-force training organizations in the world.
