As of June 1st 2011 all new security professionals must take the Alberta Basic Security Training course ABST.
As of June 1st 2010 for all security personnel to use a baton, a 40 hour Use of Force & Baton Certification course is required.
The Mission
To provide peace officers and security personnel with reality based control tactics and combative survival skills that work as well on the street as they do in the classroom.
The purpose of my Control Tactics and Survival Skills (CTSS) course is to not only meet the minimal legislative requirements for the approved Use of Force mode: but to ensure that officer skill sets in the area of Subject Control Tactics and personnel defense are learnt in a certified methodology that not only complies with the accepted Use of Force model, but actuary provides street level usable techniques to allow the officer to perform in such a manner that the officers and subject's safety is maintained.
Security agencies recognize that Subject Control tactics is a perishable skill set and requires ongoing training.
The Instructor
Shawn Baker
is a 5th degree black belt in Ketto Ryu Ju-Jutsu and has been studying martial arts for 25 years. Shawn is a control tactics instructor for Alberta Justice and is a certified instructor in police defensive tactics, officer safety, ground fighting, and knife defense.
Shawn is one of a few people in Canada to be certified as a Close Quarter Combat Instructor by Gunnery Sergeant Hans Marrero USMC Ret. former Chief hand to hand combat instructor United States Marine Corps. Shawn is a member of I.L.E.E.T.A-International Law Enforcement Educators and Trainers Association and served as a Law Enforcement Officer for over 20 years.
Shawn is certified Use of Force Analyst through the Force Science Institute and also a certified hypnotist through Omni Hypnosis Center in Florida. He uses his knowledge to help people harness the power of the human mind to enhance the physical and mental capabilities of the people he trains.
The CTSS course is a compilation of techniques and skills that I have learned in my many years as a use of force instructor training with world renowned control tactics instructors and my 25 years of experience in the martial arts.
I developed the CTSS use of force course to produce highly trained security professionals.
I truly believe my motto,
“There is no such thing as tough –
only trained and untrained.”
Shawn Baker
Founder / Instructor
Ketto Ryu Combat Ju-Jutsu
In 1986 I started my martial arts training and I received my 1st Degree Black Belt in 1992. Also in 1992 I got my first Law Enforcement job as a Peace Officer for the Summer Village of Seba Beach.
As part of the training I attended the training program at the Solicitor General Staff College which 1 week was for control tactics and self- defense. I remember being very disappointed in the control tactics I learned. The techniques taught were very basic and if any level of resistance were applied they were useless. The instructor would cover up this lack of control by saying “Things go down differently in the street. If something doesn’t work you just do what you have to do to survive.”
I knew that I knew a lot more than the instructor so I approached the department head of the training department and showed him the skills and reality based techniques I learned. I eventually became the Control Tactics Instructor at the Solicitor General Staff College and began teaching the skills and techniques I knew worked well even if the bad guy offered a lot of resistance. To this day I still train and certify Peace Officers in reality based self- defense control tactics and officer safety.
When the Government of Alberta started to regulate the security industry with respect to training, I saw this as an opportunity to train security officers . The general public and even unfortunately some law enforcement officers see security officers as untrained and uneducated. This attitude causes people to challenge a security officers authority more that if they were dealing with a police officer. I have trained security officers who do more physical arrests in a month than a police officer does in a year. I know security officers are more likely to be attacked by weapons than a police officer would.

CTSS Instructor
Do you have the desire to teach people reality-based control tactics? Do you want to earn money teaching and certifying Peace Officers and Security Professionals in use of force ?
The first step in becoming a CTSS Instructor is acceptance and completion of this course. When you complete the CTSS Instructor Course, you will be able to certify officers in the only Solicitor General approved use of force course for Peace Officers and Security Professionals other than PPCT.
Not everyone who applies to take this Instructor course will be accepted. If you have experience teaching control tactics, combat sports, or martial arts that would be an asset.
The other path to CTSS instructor would be to certify in the basic CTSS and then help instruct two full CTSS courses. If you have a desire to teach reality-based arrest and control and self defense, then we want to hear from you.
