LETA works with organizations to develop training that reflects the realities their personnel encounter in the field.
“The professionalism and experience of the team have helped us elevate our training standards through customized programs tailored to our operational requirements.”
Julie Powers
VP Operations, Commissionaires BC
“For nearly a decade, we have entrusted Mark and his team to deliver the most relatable and up-to-date training for our uniquely challenging role within the parks and beaches of Vancouver.”
Tommy Luong
Superintendent, Park Ranger
“In healthcare security, we hope our officers never have to face a violent encounter involving a weapon, but we have a responsibility to ensure they are prepared if that day comes. Mark and the team at LETA have played an important role in helping us meet that responsibility. Their expertise, generosity, and willingness to share lessons learned through years of frontline experience have made a lasting impression on our organization. The training is practical, engaging, and highly relevant, but what we value most is the genuine care they show for the people they train. Their partnership has strengthened the confidence and readiness of our officers, and we are proud to work alongside them.”

PURPOSE-BUILT TRAINING ENVIRONMENT
A Facility Designed for Practical Training
LETA’s Burnaby headquarters provides dedicated space for classroom instruction, practical skill development and reality-based training scenarios.
At the centre of the facility is a purpose-built sprung training floor designed to reduce impact during throws, takedowns and other practical training exercises.
Built From the Ground Up
The training floor incorporates steel springs positioned approximately every square foot beneath two layers of birch plywood and two-inch rollout mats, creating a surface designed to absorb impact during intensive practical training.
OUR FOUNDATION
Police Judo – Where LETA Began
LETA’s roots are in Police Judo, a practical judo-based training system developed by law-enforcement professionals with an emphasis on control, safety and duty of care.
The philosophy at the centre of Police Judo is simple: Take Care of Your Partner. That principle continues to influence LETA’s broader approach to professional training today.
Police Judo remains an important part of LETA, providing participants with practical training grounded in judo, professional instruction and the principle of taking care of your partner.
“Take Care of Your Partner.”
