Law Enforcement defensive tactics (LEDT) are onlyself-defense. The role of defensive tactics existtoday for both law enforcement and civilianinstallations to assist arrest and restraint, and toincrease the margin of safety for both the frontlinepersonnel and the suspect. Defensive tacticscertification provides the legal liability and moral highground against complaints and legal proceedings.The definition of "defend" as used here is neitherpunitive nor passive, but instead "to repel danger orharm while serving and protecting." Meanwhile, self-defense encompasses any and all means ofprotecting oneself. Self-defense techniques are notmeant to apprehend an assailant. Defensive tacticsare not martial arts from a particular country or usedby a particular law enforcement agency. A wellrounded defensive tactics certification and trainingconsiders best practices worldwide, customised toostandard operating procedures and local statutes.www.vleoa.org www.ciiscm.org www.iacspsea.com
