Ron Rosa
I began teaching in 1994 for RPD as a weaponless defense instructor. I went on to teach countless hours of weaponless defense, arrest and control tactics, less lethal, officer survival, Taser, OC spray, short/long/ASP baton. I have attended three 90 hour instructor courses, and a 40 hour instructor arrest control tactics school, taught by Mr. Koga.
After several years of instruction, I was selected as one of the lead instructors for RPD, and was one of only a handful of officers who were certified by POST in the State of NV. I taught for 12 years.
I continue to teach because I want to give back to my community, and share my real world experiences with other people. If I can impart some knowledge and wisdom to my future students about survival encounters and experiences, then I have done well in my task, and job.
