Today we wanted to share an episode from a little while back. We believe that it provides immense value and there are some new listeners, so we wanted to re-post it.

On today's episode, Dennis talks with Vegas Metro LEO DT Coach, 3RD Degree BJJ Black Belt and founder of C4C PJJ, Chad Lyman. Chad graduated from Portland State University with a BA in Administration of Justice, with a special emphasis in Terrorism Studies.  He began his policing career 1998 where his patrol time was spent in high drug and crime areas on swing and night shifts.  It was during this time where Chad subdued and restrained numerous resistant and assaultive offenders that shaped the principles he teaches today. 

Chad is a trained and certified SWAT operator, Defensive Tactics Instructor, Advanced Officer Survival trainer, Firearms instructor,  Field Training Officer and currently serves as a use of force expert for a  major metropolitan police department in southern Nevada.

Since 1999, Chad has been training regularly in Mixed Martial Arts and currently holds the rank of Professor, 3rd degree Black Belt in  Brazilian Jiu Jitsu.  Chad has consulted with military professionals, high profile security guards, major police departments worldwide which makes him highly qualified in the area of police use of force training. Chad founded C4C Police Jiu Jitsu with the mission to teach BJJ based principles to effectively arrest offenders with little to no injury to both parties. Chad discusses defense tactics, how and when to transfer agencies, working on yourself to better others and how the job is still important.
