Established in 1980 by Bruce and
Sandy Siddle, PPCT Management Systems, Inc. has become an internationally recognized
authority on research-based use-of-force and tactical team training for criminal justice
agencies. The corporation specializes in training instructors for police, corrections,
security, and military academies throughout the world.
PPCT is best recognized for
developing training systems based on documented tactical, legal, and medical research.
This unique approach allows PPCT to design training systems that are quick and simple to
learn, and easy to retain, while reducing the potential for significant injuries. This
combination has become immediately popular with administrators and field officers, for
they now have use-of-force training which is reliable and defensible in court.
From 1980 to 1987, PPCT
concentrated on the development of nonlethal force subject control systems. By 1988, a
methodology for assimilating documented tactical, legal, and medical research became the
foundation of PPCT training systems -- now the standard for criminal justice use-of-force
training. Since this time, PPCT has expanded its research to become an international
authority in nonlethal force subject control, tactical firearms and officer survival
training.
Today, PPCT has become one of the
largest use-of-force training organizations in the world - training over 25,000
instructors since 1990 and an estimated 40,000 instructors since 1980 throughout the
United States, Canada, Mexico, United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, and Australia.
