"For the past 25 years that I’ve been in law enforcement, I’ve seen the social and criminal justice landscape change and evolve, and in some cases, de-volve. More is expected from our Officers, less is expected from society. Making this even more difficult has been reduced training budgets, more restrictive use of force policies and laws, and worse yet, a lack of innovation and resourcefulness from our administrators and politicians. But through this all, Rob Magao and his Officer Survival Series: De-Escalation Through Confidence Program has created a pathway for competency in the field of officer safety. He introduced me, and many others, to the simple theory of training in grappling based programs such as BJJ in order to best keep LEOs safe.
I am proud to say that Rob is now making sure the next generation of LEOs not only are safe, but are trained to the degree that lets us deal with and overcome those who would do harm to fellow officers and the innocent public at large. This is long overdue and if there is one area we need to improve in, it is in hands on arrest and control techniques and Rob and his program and training are the cutting edge of providing the best, most realistic tried and true proven training to make that happen. Thanks to Rob, we will see less injuries and Officers ready to face the newest challenges in 2022 and beyond. On behalf of the Connecticut SWAT Challenge and Our Heroes Fund, we are proud to work with Rob and be fortunate enough to have countless Officers trained by him on the never-ending path to proficiency."
Thank you

“There is no other training in CT that compares to the Officer Survival Series, bottom line. This program is proven and effective, don’t be fooled by a false sense of security with other training, this is the real deal.”
“This program is efficient and effective. A true evolution to police use of force tactics. I believe this program will better protect both officers and civilians and save lives.”
“The Officer Survival Series has given me skills that I’ll use for the entirety of my 25 year career. Being surrounded by highly skilled instructors as well as other eager and motivated law enforcement officers was the perfect environment to learn. Cannot recommend it enough! “
“Rob has never forgotten the foundation needed to train and educate a law enforcement officer. Every class and program he has designed has two core elements: 1) keep the officer safe 2) use only the force necessary to deescalate the situation. Our department participated in the pilot program of the OSS and ALL the officers stated it was the best training they ever received in their careers. Rob and his cadre are “first class” instructors that exude professionalism and commitment to all their students!! Any law enforcement administrator or officer who has the passion to continue to evaluate our profession, please take the time to learn about and invest in the OSS. I am honored to call Rob my colleague and my friend.”
Stay Humble-Stay Hungry!!!

“I am an Academy Coordinator for my agency and I was able to attend the Officer Survival Series Course. As a Certified DT, UOF, Firearm, Chemical Agent, De-Escalation, General Topic instructor and a Black Belt in BJJ I have attended many trainings and this course by far was the best I have attended. The structure and delivery of material by a very over qualified team was evident. I will bring back to my agency what I have learned. Highly recommend for all levels !”
"The Officer Survival Series is the most comprehensive defensive tactics program that I’ve personally seen anywhere in the Country. This class draws in every concept from standing control, to ground control, to scenario based applications. The lead instructors and staff are some of the best and most experienced in the field today. Not only will this training push you physically, it will push you mentally through a diversity of educational options including medic application, special need populations and use of force, and court room testimony review. The much needed DT curriculum in the the post- police reform day and age has finally arrived. Hands down...the best!!!!”
“This course is practical, relevant and measurable and will lead officers and agencies down a path to continuous training which is necessary to go forward in today’s climate.”
