Throughout Andrew’s Policing career he was trained in restraint, breakaway, Public Order (riot training), handcuffing, leg restraints, CS/PAVA, SPEAR system, surveillance, custody officer and NDM (National Decision Model).

This was the beginning of his transition into creating and delivering courses involving personal safety training.
