Master Arrest and Control Tactics Instructor

The Master Arrest and Control Tactics Instructor Certificate is designed to give graduates a recognized credential that can translate into greater recognition within their respective field. After completing four required courses, graduates will have an enhanced understanding of arrest and control tactics and how to use those techniques against an edged weapon, on the ground, or on the move dynamically so that they can better instruct and guide others through the different techniques.

Required Courses

Once all four courses have been completed, applicants should confirm they meet all certificate requirements using the Master Arrest and Control Tactics Instructor Application and return it to the TEEX Law Enforcement & Protective Services division. Eligibility of each candidate will be reviewed and email notification of decision will be sent.

Effective September 1, 2024, the unit price fee for the standard certificate will increase from $37 to $50. This fee change will apply for all applications received on or after this date.
