This is becoming more and more common in the world of law enforcement. Federal agencies, state agencies, county, local and everything in between have been training in brazilian jiu-jitsu and ground combat over the past 6 or 7 years. About a decade ago, NYPD did a study of physical confrontations with criminals and found out the vast majority of altercations went to the ground within the first 5 seconds. Unfortunately, the fighting style that most law enforcement trained in (vertical combat) was vastly different than the skill set needed for ground defense. Therefore, brazilian jiu-jitsu became popular among police. As UFC and other MMA formulas have grown, agencies have started contracting with these fighters and their trainers to hone the ground combat skills of the police training.
Something to think about next time anyone decides to take on a cop.
