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!

Silent Warriors Operating Behind the Walls

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!

Danger in Corrections: Why the Corrections Tactical Operator NEEDS to evolve

VIEWER DISCRETION ADVISED::::


This video shows how dangerous, volatile and explosive the world of a Corrections Officer can be. The new times that we currently live in  different times. Times where inmates having cell phone in their cells with the ability to record themselves and all the things that go on inside their cells and pods.


As you can see from this video, Pepper Spray, sting ball grenades had “0” effect on the determined inmates. They know, expect and prepare for our tactics...the majority of most corrections tactical operations teams still use 1970’s era tactics....if you don’t think they know your tactics and are ready, you’re fooling yourself. Corrections NEEDS to wake up and realize that the days of the “knuckle dragger..6’2, 300lbs, line backer with a shield” are over! Those tactics will only get the officers, Inmate hurt or worse, eventually opening up the department for legal liability issues putting thousands of not millions in the inmates bank account.


We need to change, grow and adapt just like they do. Check the video out, learn and adapt. Be safe, be smart, be vigilant, train hard!!

Hostage Rescue in a Correctional Setting

A subject which was Taboo in Corrections (Hostage Rescue), now is a must for any Corrections Tactical Team. Our instructors here teach Operators on proper techniques to effectively rescue an officer.

With the ever changing times Corrections teams need to be versatile, adaptable, proactive and dependable. This means being master of all within the Corrections environment. When a worse case scenario happens ( an officer, staff, or inmate) is taken hostage and time is not on out side. When that happens, Corrections Tactical Team need to have the right training and training relevant to Corrections and it’s 

environment. This is something that we here at TOG-US are well aware of and try it bring the operators attending our courses the most realistic and relevant training possible.

When training in high liability issues such as an activation of your tactical emergency team is, having a well trained team and knowledged in the latest proven tactics is crucial to any department...this is something we all understand too well.
