The ROS is a formidable intervention method created by Captain Jacques Levinet, 10th Dan Black Belt Police Training ROS for general and special police units and some security professionals. Special intervention units, such as ERIS in France, some army units and other defense groups, like the Spetsnaz in Russia or the GAD in Argentina, have already undergone special instruction in Police Training ROS with the French expert. Currently, ROS training projects in Qatar Police and security forces in Vietnam are ongoing
POLICE TRAINING ROS. REAL OPERATIONAL SYSTEM Captain Jacques Levinet The ROS is based on four elements set by Captain Jacques Levinet: • The Police intervention Tonfa. • The Police expandable baton. • The Police Self Pro Krav (SPK). • Police Gestures and Intervention Techniques (PGIT). The originality of the method is due to the complementary use of the SPK empty hand self-defense techniques adapted to the PGIT, using pistol, handcuffs, safety palpation, teamwork and other coercive means. To this aim, agents are taught techniques of driving, coercion, takedown, bringing to the ground, neutralization, lifting, exit from vehicle, safety check, handcuffing in different positions, all associated with getting out of hostile environments, day and night, in open and closed surroundings, as a team, with evacuation or protection. The REAL OPERATIONAL SYSTEM is committed to efficiency and avoids frills respecting self-defense and firearms legislation of the countries where ROS training is applied. POLICE ROS titles are professional qualifications controlled and issued exclusively by Captain Jacques Levinet, founder of the discipline. ROS is a registered trademark of the Jacques Levinet Academy in the INPI (National Institute of Industrial Property). It is taught only to the police and some security professionals.

protection, plan of action and intervention). The purpose of SPK Police is professionalism. All attacks are considered, ranging from the nunchakus to baseball bats, plus knifes or swords, in all environments, open or closed, by car or in front of a crowd or a hostile group.
A COMPLETE AND EVOLUTIONARY METHOD • The ROS Tonfa gets rid of impossible and unrealistic techniques like the gripping of an assailant's armed hand. The blockade and the answer must be simultaneous. To stick to reality, workouts are often performed on hard ground without foam material. The mise-en-scene is scheduled while training. • The ROS Baton develops new grips with the stick folded and unfolded and the use of the short stick as a Yawara thanks to a conical tip at the heel. These operational techniques provide means of pressure, focused answers or keys for a job in a smaller space, like in a personal protection.
The SELF POLICE PRO KRAV The objective sought is that a police officer knows how to defend himself with his personal endowment and every weapon in his belt. The goal is that of finishing the intervention, with or without a weapon, thanks to some operational keys to dominate and arrest a person. All Police gestures are lear ned through ROS (handcuffing, evacuation,
TRAINING AND MEMBERSHIP OF POLICE TRAINING ROS • Technical Course - With degrees from yellow belt to black belt and then the ROS Dan ranking (from 1st to 10th Dan). Belts are not worn during training sessions because students work out in their uniforms with the full service harness. • Promotion tests consist of a technical exam and an intervention test on a real situation. • ROS Dan ranks (10 in total) are granted with the utmost seriousness, respecting time between degrees, by an international Grade and “Dan” Rank Commission. All tests are done before a jury of professionals. Degrees are represented by bars on the shoulder. • Instructor Course - Through initial and continuing training for instructor, chief instructor and ROS expert. The Academy issues these training certificates for its registration as a training organization in the Ministry of Labor in France. The instructor exam consists of technical, written and educational tests. The Jacques Levinet Academy takes into account the ability of candidates and refuses to issue convenience certificates not to tarnish its credibility. Morality is required so that ROS instructors meet an honor commitment and a
INTERNATIONAL POLICE CONFEDERATION (IPC)
code of ethics. For all these reasons, ROS grades are highly sought after. • Initial and continuous training of police units. • Municipal police, correctional police and security forces can receive initial ROS training to acquire a Certificate of Technical Aptitude or CAT, which allows them to carry and use the tonfa or the expandable baton with the permission of their superiors. • A continuous training can be programmed in order to maintain the initial training and improve the capacity of the security forces in intervention situations. • Membership Course - Trainers and coaches of different styles and units can become members of the AJL International Federation through it and the ROS of the International Police Confederation (IPC) achieve the recognition of their system and possibly their degree. A homologation gateway was created to recognize the degrees and instructor qualifications in the light of the provided justifying documentation. Some representations are established as DTN (National Technical Director), DTR (Regional Technical Director) and DTD (Departmental Technical Director) throughout France and abroad.
This organization, which is a branch of the Jacques Levinet Academy (AJL), is a link among different law enforcement units in order to exchange technical and operative policing practices, cooperation, and experience among members of the security forces, experts and organizations worldwide. A membership gateway took place between the AJL and IPC.
INTERNATIONAL ACADEMY OF POLICE TRAINING The Police Training ROS tends to a strong professionalization of the law enforcement forces and a selection of trainers in the field of intervention for international recognition. Through the Jacques Levinet Academy and the International Police Confederation, the ROS is represented in some fifty places in the world. The ROS is a new way for policemen, gendarmes, customs, prisons and security agencies to better fulfill their mission in an operative way with professionalism, ethics and morality.
