More often than not, Security/Police officers are expected to react quickly and seamlessly in order to de-escalate situations and gain control while maintaining the highest level of public safety when arresting individuals. These expectations are extremely challenging
with the increasing rates of violent crime recently noted by Statistics Canada.
At Warrior our Modern Arrest & Restrain System (MARS) is specifically designed for Security and Police Officers or Individuals aspiring to those careers. The MARS Course has been designed to fill the immense gap between co-operative subject restraints/arrests and assaultive violent/volatile subject restraints/arrests.
The MARS teaches comprehensive hands-on safety preparedness training, designed to elevate the learners’ ability to quickly navigate their way through complex dangerous situations, while in the line of duty.

Course Content:
This course addresses the complex challenges Officers & Security face every day by teaching the necessary skills to aid them in effectively gaining control of a situation with less force where possible. We strive to move an officer's understanding and safety preparedness to a new level with tactics and skills that are effective and reasonable. We provide training on how to confidently de-escalate, control and maintain physical safety when encountered with confrontational or violent situations that they may encounter as an officer or security personnel.
Our de-escalation strategies are taught in conjunction with hands-on practices that teach how to restrain and escort regardless of the subject’s level of compliance. While learning conflict prevention and deescalation strategies, students will learn the ideal way to restrain a cooperative subject. Students will learn how to put themselves in a position that they can safely react should the subject become more aggressive or violent while continuously keeping both public and officer safety in mind.
Our System of Best Practices Establishes
“Safety Zones”
Our System of Best Practices establishes a number of “Safety Zones” in the Stand Up position (clinch) & Ground position should the struggle take you there. The MARS teaches an organized structure that continually allows officers to flow from one "Safety Zone" to another seamlessly, until compliance has been met or the subject has been restrained successfully.
We Specifically Cover Strategy For Unarmed Situations:
- How to Handcuff and Escort a Cooperative Subject
- How to Handcuff and Escort an active Resistant Subject, that can occur during the arrest / detention phase, most notably while handcuffing
- Learn the 4 Main Areas of Safety and Restraint Effectiveness during a potential assaultive situation:
- Learn Safety in Approach, Initial Control and Clinch, followed by
- Effective Leverage Takedowns (regardless of size differences)
- Complete Ground Control Hold System while maintaining the
ability to access radio & use of weapons - Preparation for 1 Person and 2 Person Cuffing
- Contingency Strategies for Stand Up or Ground Escapes when needed (how to safely disengage from a subject and situation). We make sure each Officer confidently knows how to limit their personal safety risks and personal liability, through a better understanding of their occupational responsibilities, legal requirements and effective humane physical control in these difficult situations.
Course Outcome:
Learn Total Control, without excessive force, with always Officer & Subject safety in mind, for today's societal expectations. Learners will receive a Certificate of Completion after demonstrating their ability to utilize the in-depth knowledge of tactics and strategies they have learned throughout the course, in multiple interactive scenarios.

I have worked with Jason Andrew and Terry Riggs, they are both specialist in their fields and some of the best instructors in Canada for our specific needs. If you have a chance to work with them, I would highly recommend it.
I was searching for a course exactly like this one. It's very hard dealing with the public on a daily basis as you never know when things can escalate or quickly go in the wrong direction. After working with Terry Riggs and Jay Andrews I feel I finally have a logical systematic approach to aggressive situations. Best course for Security and Police in Ontario by far. I don't usually post but the word has to spread, this is exactly what we need and it's long overdue in our industry.
The WARS course is simply great! I've had the chance to work with Jay Andrew and Terry Riggs and they bring a world of experience along with their system design specifically for security and police services. If you're in our line of work, I highly recommend this course! I am a lot more at ease and confident on the job.
