The thing is, from researching that, it appear they do what most LE agencies want. They do not only want the training for their officers they often want the following as well.
1. A course where they can have selected personnel trained as instructors. In this way you are not locked in to waiting for someone else to have a course or have to potentially pay a fee up front to have the company in question show up. They also often like this because different States and LE Agencies may have different Laws or policies regarding UoF. Having your own instructor allows you to tailor the training to these requirements.
2. They also often look for legal expert testimony, from the Company for the purposes of Law Suits. This is rarely supplied by companies that simply train their personnel in combatives BUT it is not uncommon in terms of those who have provided "train the trainer" seminars, so long as the in house instructor has proper documentation for the training itself and the reports etc reflect that the combative system itself was used properly.
It's all about liability.
Because it costs more for the criminal to be hurt that the officer. Making the officer disposable.
And that infuriates me.
Also that industry trainers are making a living perpetuating this belief.
