Vehicle Containment Technique (VCT)

Vehicle Containment Technique (VCT) is designed to take down violent criminals and to prevent vehicle pursuits. VCT should be utilized for serious Felony suspects such as, but not limited to, Agg Robbery, Murder, Kidnapping, Felon in possession of firearms. Students will learn how to use the element of surprise and properly timed violence of action to take down violent felony suspects. The Vehicle Containment Technique is designed to physically restrict the movement of the suspect vehicle by simultaneously striking it from multiple sides, thereby preventing a vehicle pursuit. As a result, this tactic will also reduce the risk to the public.

The instructors teaching this course have conducted approx. 30 VCT’s on violent suspects in the Houston area. They are experts who have trained hundreds of hours on this tactic to perfect its outcome. They have also trained multiple departments, teams, and agencies on the use of this tactic.
