program as a critical component. The defensive tactics program provides
the trainees with realistic self-defense skills, incorporating proper
arrest and control procedures, fighting skills, mental conditioning,
and development of physical stamina through exercise, to prepare the
student to overcome both armed and unarmed attacks. Further, all Basic
Agent trainees receive instruction in the appropriate techniques an
strategies for conducting arrest and search warrants, along with felony
vehicle stops and vehicle-involved arrests. In addition, in-service
Special Agents and Group Supervisors are trained in planning, organizing,
and executing drug-oriented raids.
The Tactical Safety
and Survival Unit is also responsible for conducting critical incident
management
and operational planning for DEA Group Supervisors
during the agency’s Group Supervisor Institute. A comprehensive
review of all DEA-related critical incidents provides Group Supervisors
with relevant and up-to-date instruction in risk management and risk
avoidance.
