OC/Baton Training?

I have graduated from the Boylston R/I academy. The OC/Baton training was held on a Saturday, wasn't included in the academy (cost $150) and wasn't required to graduate. I decided to go to an important funeral in VT instead and figured I would pick it up later. My problem now, is where do I go to learn to properly "ventilate someones skull" (term used by my DT instructor) and get sprayed with OC?

P.S. I'll let anyone spray me as much as you want as long as I get certified

where do I go to learn to properly "ventilate someones skull"
If your DT instructor was using that terminology, be thankful you didn't take his class. Very unprofessional in my opinion. I've been on the job full tmie for nearly 15 years, and can count on one hand the number of times i have used my baton.
By the way, this is a public forum and there are things read by the general public here.

There are several DT, OC, and Baton instructors on this forum. You will more than likely have to pay for this class.

The term "ventilate someone's skull" refers to the use of a baton when faced with an assaultive (serious bodily harm/death) subject. You are then authorized to use deadly force in compliance with the Use of Force Model. It does not mean that the individual instructor is any less qualified because of a term he uses.

The fact that one does or does not utilize a certain tool more or less than others does not lessen the need or ability of any particular tool in our chest. I am not looking to flame anyone, but we all sometimes use different terms when describing something. I am very familiar with the DT staff at all of the academies. They are all well trained and I would go to war with them anytime!

He says its the term he used in his report. Thats a lot better than getting detailed about it in my opinion. Also, it was a great way to break the ice/tension. This instructor was very professional, and I would be honored to be on the same force as him.
Apparently I pushed your button, and I apologize. A serious answer would have been more appreciated. I'm seeking advise and wisdom here. If I wanted critisizm, I would have called my mother.

Can you guess which DT instructor I'm talking about? Just curious.

I'll empty a can on you... I'm sure that Microsoft Word has a certificate template.

- Always blaming the mothers....

OK, seriously now. Where should I go to get OC and baton certified??

Are you serious that he uses that terminology in his report.

A DT instructor can probably fit u in their next class. There are several instructors on this forum. The key is finding someone near you. Where u from?

I live in Franklin County. There is an academy in Greenfield, which is closest to me, but the upcoming OC classes are just recerts.

Easy there tough guy........ fresh out of the R/I academy and already you are shitting on a FIFTEEN YEAR VETERAN FT P.O. Lose the chip on your shoulder before someday maybe getting a FT job. NOBODY likes the know-it-all FNG !!!!! Best part is, you are probably all shy and quiet in person and just another ten post Masscops badass.

I was expecting you to respond with bitterness how your "better" than me because you have been a police officer for "fifteen years". How predictable for us type A personalities, eh? Anyways, I was just letting you know that your not helping me find the training I need. There have been several people who saw past my joke and have helped me more than I was ever expecting. They get my respect way before you, even if they have only been a police officer for one year. Not like you need it though, you probably demand it from all the rookies at your station.

And yes, I am totally a shy and quiet ten posts Masscops badass . Thats an actual picture of me a few years ago, btw. I thought I destroyed all evidence of it. Damn you!

He was probably joking also.

TNT this is NOOB warning number one.

You don't disrespect the members of MassCops

TNT....Did you try the Academy? I mean come on use your phone and make some calls...Where do you think it's being offered at Blain Beauty School?

Sorry. Sorry. Sorry.

Have you read Sniper's post? That's more disrespectful than my response. There isn't ONE sentence in his last post that isn't disrespect. At least I didn't call him names.

Strike two, pointing out a mod his job. {Grabs his beer & popcorn}

Do you have your tokens ready?

Whatever, I'll just use another one of my email accounts and get a new IP address and be back tomorrow. Ironic, I have beer and popcorn right now, seriously. What are the tokens for?

Is this really how you want to start your carrer in LE...I think you would be very surprised if you knew the people that are on here..

Im not trying to bully him just give him some friendly advice..take it or leave it.

Thats right bro, don't let these bullies give you shit. When you get banned tonight you can use your mad computer skills to thwart them and continue your douchebaggery.

It was actually Sarge31 that your original post was shitting on, but who's counting... I went to the Boylston reserve, and kept my mouth shut for 3 years before I got my shot at a F/T gig (5 years considering I am still working on my municipality). You have pissed off more legitmate LEO's in 3 days than most do in a lifetime.

You have to realize the internet pecking order here. You are new, and not on the job... Go spray yourself. I'll sign your cert. BTW, you can at least feel superior to Sniper, he is just Mall Security!

But he's got the coolest looking Segway!!
