The Colorado Springs Police Department (CSPD) is taking significant steps to improve its training programs following a comprehensive study on the use of force. As part of these changes, officers will receive Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training, aiming to reduce harmful physical encounters by teaching officers how to immobilize individuals without resorting to strikes.

The study, conducted by the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF), highlighted areas for improvement within CSPD’s training programs, with a particular focus on de-escalation techniques and arrest control. The report recommends integrating more effective control methods like Jiu-Jitsu, which emphasizes control over confrontation, allowing officers to manage situations safely without excessive force.

Chief Adrian Vasquez acknowledged the need for more robust de-escalation training and emphasized the importance of implementing the report’s recommendations to improve policing practices.

In addition to Jiu-Jitsu training, the study urged the department to create a reward system for officers who excel in de-escalation, reinforcing the importance of peaceful resolutions. The PERF team, after a year-long evaluation that included ride-alongs, surveys, and focus groups, praised the department for its progressive and receptive attitude toward change.

The move comes after CSPD faced several lawsuits alleging the use of excessive force, including a notable case in 2022 involving Dalvin Gadson, where bodycam footage showed officers repeatedly striking the individual. To further prevent such incidents, the report also recommended that supervisors be present during high-risk situations to guide officers’ decision-making processes.

Mayor Yemi Mobolade echoed the department’s commitment to safety and justice, emphasizing that these changes will help make Colorado Springs one of the safest and most just cities in the U.S.

With the implementation of these measures, including Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu training, CSPD aims to enhance officer performance and foster a safer community for all.
