St. Luis Correctional Officer is Taken Hostage by Inmates
/Wow, glad the officer is ok and no one else was seriously hurt. This is why we train the way we do and why we offer and encourage correctional tactical teams to train for these situations.
We offer an In-Custody Tactical Hostage Rescue course especifically tailored for the corrections environment. If time is not on the facility’s side and there is no time to wait for a Police SWAT team and you have to act…you better know what to do and how to do it, lives are at stake!
Open training
/We are still actively filling up spots for this course: Integrated Cell Extractions, Conceptual Dynamic Pod Domination (Riot Ops), High Risk, Profile, Valué In-Facility Inmate Escorts. All three courses in one week. Don’t miss out!

Corrections Officer is Shot inside Jail
/Ok, so, EVERY time we schedule a course for “Active Shooter/Threat in a correctional setting, we always get asked this…”has this ever happened in corrections” or “this would NEVER happen in the jail, is it would, the street deputies would handle it”! WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!! In Spanish in case English is not sufficient….”EQUIVOCADOS!!!!!!!!!!
Ok, now that I got that out of the way. Our condolences go out to the Perry County Jail in AR, their staff and to the family of the mirdered corrections deputy. In a school setting it takes the responding officer between 3 to 5 min to respond, these are FBI statistics. What do you think it would be to the inside of a correctional institution?!!! There are ways to train an tackle this issue. We have been teaching it since 2010, but we always get this from administrators “this would never happen here”, or “SWAT would take care of it”. Well, I say this, “thick, tock, tick,tock” when someone is inside the institution shooting with a gun, officers, staff and inmates are the responsibility of the leadership….is your staff trained?!!
Be safe, train hard, train for what it could happen because one day it will!

https://policetribune.com/arkansas-correctional-officer-murdered-by-gunman-inside-jail-facility/
This is why good and quality training is needed. If you think this is not inside you’re institutions, you don’t truly understand corrections!!
I saw this on our social media page. Came from the NYCDOC social media page, last time I saw one of these I was in Puerto Rico at my grandmothers farm helping cut down sugar cane. To think this came out of a housing unit, this is crazy to me! I totally agree with the author of this posting, searches are one of the major keys to safety in our field!
I have never found a full blown machete in my career but I have found some that came close not to mention drugs, cell phones and many other criminal and administrative contraband. As much a some of us don’t like dealing with the aftermaths of a search like, greavences, inmates complaining on every walk afterwards and so on, it’s our safety and theirs on the line!
One of the things I used to hear from some of the guys who were more into the tactical side of our Correction Tactical Operations team when we used to be asked to assist in conducting searches was, “man, why we have to do the “floor officers job”? Well, the honest answer to that…it’s all of our job!!! Safety is everyone’s job, especially the tactical teams. At the end of the day, we all want to go home to our loved ones the same way we come on shift.
Be safe out there and always be on the looks out for things that don’t belong…9 times out of 10 they don’t and you can be saving someone’s life…or your own. Proactiveness + Searching = Safety… be safe!

Corrections Tactical Operations Training
Corrections Officers Issue Law Suit on Sheriff Office
/Ok, with everything that’s going on now a days, I’m not surprised that these issues are starting to surface inside the jails/institutions. This particular issue could have been avoided should they had a well trained CERT/SORT team or Corrections Tactical Operarions team of some sort. Now, I’m not familiar with Ramsey County Sheriff's Office so I don’t know if they have one or not, but it is apparent that they did not use it in this case. Individuals like this former officer should be assigned to the tactical team.
This individual should have been categorized as a high risk, high profile, high value inmate....all three! If you have a trained team, and I mean TRAINED!!!!! Then color & gender of the inmate does not matter. All movement to and from this inmates cell should be conducted by this team and this team ONLY! This would reduce any issues because should there be any issues this team should be able to handle it. “If” there is any negative issues on the part of the officers, you know where to start your investigation. But, being that these officers are well trained, there shouldn’t be any issues.
By being well trained, their professional demeanor and skills should show and the department would not have to go through any legal litigation issues nor injuries to anyone or at the very least significantly reduce it. This would also free up line staff to continue to do their daily duties.
They would not be in this legal issue right now. This is why we offer the training and courses that we do and why we train our students to the high standards and tempo that we do!
I urge all command staff in the jails, prisons and institutions to look at their tactical team and invest in professional training for their team. Hand me down training with all of what’s going on is going to put your department in a predicament of possible “cultural” dilemmas. By “cultural dilemmas” we mean, that if the CERT team has a culture of being heavy handed (for example), if you continue passing on that same style of training, nothing is going to change or improve. You have to bring in someone from the outside with updated ideas and training to ensure professional standards are kept and passed on.
Be safe everyone and we hope to see you all at any of our courses in the near future! Be safe!

/TOG-US pride’s it’s self in being one of the fore front companies made up of correctional tactical operators and leaders who dedicated themselves in providing updated and top notch training to a field who’s not seen much change in many years (as training goes in the tactical field). Corrections is now starting to come up to par with some of the best law enforcement tactical teams out there.
This video highlights just a small fraction of the capabilities that we have brought up to some of the teams out there.
These silent Warriors operator every day behind the walls, no thank you, no fame, nearly no recognition…..just for the brother and sister behind the walls with them. We are proud to stand with them and it motivates us to keep bringing to the best that we can.
Hope everyone has a great week!

Doña Ana County Adult Corrections SORT Team Conduct Selection
/We are proud to announce that the Doña Ana Adult Detention Center in New Mexico, is one of the teams which TOG-US has had the honor and privilege of training from the ground up.
They (the unit) have undergone 4.5 continuous months of highly specialized training making them one of our first Tier 1 (Tier system mimics military system in order to classify teams capabilities) Corrections Tactical Operarions (CTO) Teams in the U.S. They have hone in their skills specifically to their working environment and they are sharp!
Like many teams, they have lost operators due to promotions and lateral movements thus having to conduct selection. The attached video is a quick glimpse as to what they went through. Their standards are high, maintaining entrance into their ranks to only the best! They were partially trained by their peers and cadre. In a few months we (TOG-US) cadre will be there to complete their training and offer recertification to the old team members and the entire unit as a Tier 1 CTO unit. We couldn’t be more proud of all their accomplishments!!! Great job to all welcome to the brotherhood!
