Re: LE/Police Hand-to-Hand, Arrest Techniques, Control Tactics or Use of Force
Not at all. We might want to wait to see if there are some minor tweaks, but I think I'm okay with it.

Sure-Footed (Ice) and Sure-Footed (Snow) is probably a fairly reasonable Optional Perk for experienced melee combatants from a culture where ice and snow is common, regardless of specific style. Sure-Footed (Uneven) is really valuable for riot cops and anyone else who must fight in a tight formation which might have to move over defeated foes, but unfortunately rarely taught. The line breaking because of prone rioters is always a risk and one that it seems many law enforcement personnel are not trained sufficiently to address. Then again, given the budget situation here and the resistance to spending anything on the police, it's a wonder they are allowed to train at all.

Your Coast Guard's budget, IIRC is counted towards NATO requirements, so there's that.

Re: LE/Police Hand-to-Hand, Arrest Techniques, Control Tactics or Use of Force
While your at that, get some armed forces manuels. Some of it is tangential to your purpose. But other stuff will help. For instance the Urban Warfare manuals have a section on police and disaster relief ops because even in formal war you have to quickly restore law in a captured city and in modern times insurgency often centers in cities.

Re: LE/Police Hand-to-Hand, Arrest Techniques, Control Tactics or Use of Force
True, but the only guy I know who belongs to the armed Coast Guard teams is so boring and annoying that I don't want to get any input from him. He played one campaign with us, but when real-world events led to him resigning, no one was very sad.

Re: LE/Police Hand-to-Hand, Arrest Techniques, Control Tactics or Use of Force
Another task that may just be covered by the professional skill, body language or first aid is evaluating the target. In this sense I mean the first judgment of the opponent, are they sober, drunk, high, healthy, sick, angry, otherwise mentally incapacitated? The information an officer uses to decide the next course of action. There may be legal issues to consider at this stage as well.

Sufficiently different variations might not be able to share Teamwork Perks, but I'd argue that this should be rare. The arrest technique training of cops from Iceland through Europe to Florida and beyond is fundamentally extremely similar.

What are you on about? This is a report on NATO defense spending, and there are no numbers there for Iceland. And from speaking with guys from the foreign ministry here (including a guy who works at the NATO delegation) it is policy here to be left off those lists because the numbers would be so low and maybe even zero, which is why there are only 27 countries in that list but 28 members of NATO. |

Re: Arrest Techniques Style

IIRC, there was some debate about whether Passive Restraint should teach Judo instead of Wrestling, because we learn to defend against weapons (improvised knives, mostly) and Judo is much better at that in GURPS. We (rightly, I think) decided against it for Passive Restraint, but the arguments in favor of Judo may be stronger for police officers.
