POLICE TRAINING FILM WHICH DEMONSTRATES HOW PROPERLY PREPARED AND TRAINED OFFICERS CAN KEEP PEACEFUL DEMONSTRATIONS FROM ESCALATING INTO VIOLENCE.
Abstract
THE FILM PRESUPPOSES THAT PROFESSIONAL AGITATORS IN THE CROWD ARE TRYING TO FORCE A VIOLENT CONFRONTATION WITH THE POLICE. EMPHASIZED IS THE FACT THAT A SPECIAL POLICE TACTICAL UNIT TRAINED IN CROWD CONTROL AND A PLAN OF ACTION PREPARED IN ADVANCE ARE ESSENTIAL IN ORDER TO AVOID SITUATIONS WHICH CAN LEAD TO PHYSICAL INJURY TO DEMONSTRATORS AND/OR POLICE. DEMONSTRATED ARE THE DIFFERENT POLICE FORMATIONS USEFUL FOR CROWD CONTROL AND THE USE OF THE POLICE BATON TO CONTROL AND DISPERSE CROWDS. MODEL ARREST AND CROWD DISPERSAL PROCEDURES ARE ALSO DEPICTED.
