// COS · Corrections Officer Combatives Program

The Only Direct Combatives Program
Built for the Cellblock

COS is the only Corrections Direct Combatives program in the world designed for corrections and prison tactical officers. It picks up where standard defensive-tactics platforms leave off — addressing the cell, housing unit, slippery floors, blackout zones, direct-supervision settings, and the dynamic multi-inmate assault. In continuous use for over a decade. Classified by design: inmates study police tactics, so this program is closed to non-sworn personnel.
