About
Priority Protection Group’s online tactical baton training provides security professionals and law enforcement officers with a comprehensive, flexible foundation in the legal, Policy, and practical use of impact weapons. Led by instructors with backgrounds in law enforcement, the course emphasizes court-defensible techniques, de-escalation strategies, and the "human factors" of high-stress encounters. Students cover essential skills including proper drawing methods, tactical stances, striking zones, and baton retention, all while learning to align their actions with state and federal use-of-force standards. This online format allows for a self-paced review of the theory and mechanics necessary to minimize liability and maximize effectiveness in the field, ensuring that the baton is used as a tool for precise threat management rather than just a last resort. ** This course does not allow you to carry a baton. An in-person practical application course is the next step. Once you have completed this course, print the certificate off and present it to your instructor at the in-person training. Only after you have completed the in-person training will you be authorized to carry a baton per PPG Policy.**
