Course Description
Field Force Operations (FFO) is a three-day course providing state and local law enforcement personnel the knowledge and skills necessary to prepare for and successfully mitigate threat incidents involving civil disorder. FFO combines classroom instruction with practical exercises that afford responders the opportunity to practice concepts and tactics in a controlled environment. Activities included in this course are mass arrest procedures, team tactics, demonstrator tactics, crowd dynamics and mob behavior, use of riot control agents and less lethal munitions, and the employment of personal protective equipment (PPE).

• Understand how the First, Fourth, Eight and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution relate to civil action/disorder;
• Express the considerations and processes for conducting mass arrests during civil action/disorder;
• Act as a member of an arrest team and remove an arrestee using both two- and four-officer carry techniques;
• Serve as a member of a mobile field force (MFF) team while conducting dismounted crowd control operations with and without personal protective equipment (PPE); and
• Select for use, based on the liabilities and limitations of each, the best riot control agents and less lethal munitions.
