Brazilian Jiu Jitsu (BJJ) fosters the concept that a smaller, weaker person can effectively defend against a bigger, stronger assailant by using proper technique, leverage, and have the ability to take the fight to the ground, and then apply joint-locks or choke-holds to submit a combatant. Being taught these techniques, by a certified practitioner, will bestow upon a Patrol Officer (P.O.) the knowledge and confidence to apply certain techniques without harming themselves or the individual being apprehended. The use of deadly force against an unarmed attacker should not be the first choice of action. By allowing a P.O. to engage in BJJ will give them the discipline and mindset to think clearly in the most uncompromising situations they may face. To Serve and Protect. To preserve Life.
