Safety Committee
MACPO implemented a Safety Committee in July of 2023. The committee's exact goals and structure are still being determined.
Amber Chase, Amy Hertzog, Jon Schiro, and Terry Fawcett were certified as SafeWrap trainers March 24th-25th, 2025 in Los Angeles. SafeWrap is a proprietary system of 2-on-1 restraint that is designed to maximize physical control while reducing the risk of injury to all parties involved in a use of force encounter. SafeWrap will be introduced at the MACPO Conference with further rollout details available then. Thanks to MACPO for supporting this training that was hosted by the LAPD and conducted by Rener & Ryron Gracie.
