TACTICAL OFFICER

This course is uniquely designed to Train officers in the operation of the four (4), six (6) and eight (8) man team concept of, "Urban Tactical Operations".  The major factors that differentiates this Tactical Course is the departure from Blind Dynamic Entry as the only entry method of Tactical Entry, and to train the Officer to become proficient in both “Dynamic and Stealth” entry Techniques, also to counter the myth that Superior Firepower will make up for poor or nonexistent Tactics. The Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) definition applies, and this Certified Course is based on mission requirements in three (3) areas;

  1. Barricaded / Armed Felon

  2. Urban Sniper / Rapid Response, Active Shooter > Columbine Scenario

  3. Hostage Rescue Operations

It may over simplify to categorize the above situations, as they can occur simultaneously resulting in greater risk to both Civilians and responding Officers. The complexity of the mission for Tactical Officers is the justification for the length of this Course, 40 hours - four (4) days. This is not a seminar, but an intensive, demanding Course of instruction. Written Tests, and Individual Tactical Performance Standards, are used each day of the course to evaluate the Officer in a pass or fail status. Completion of all course standards results in a tactical team officer prepared to use complex tactics in an Urban Environment.

Officers are instructed on proper use of: Weapons, Ammunition & Pyrotechnics as deemed necessary by the Threat Level of the Felon and risk to innocent bystanders with considerable range time is invested in Live Fire Scenarios, with utilization of Pyrotechnics: Irritant Agents & Diversionary Devices. Over 80% of those Officer’s & Departments that have seen fit to invest in this course were operating SWAT Team members, with Tactical Mission Experience. 

NOTE:  This course does not alter tactics that your team has adopted, rather it adds to your choice of tactics, techniques and procedures, so that a multitude of tactical situations may be resolved with greater options. All Pyrotechnics, Diversionary Devices, Ammunition, are Included in Tuition.

TACTICAL RIFLE

The role of the Law Enforcement Officer has not changed in over 100 years based on the concept of serving the public by protecting it from those that would defy the Law.  The mission to “Serve and Protect” has been paid for by an inherent risk to those that enforce our legal codes and statutes. We have seen the “Patrol Officer” outnumbered and outgunned in numerous situations and we must look at our past history for a solution to this problem.

It was not uncommon over 100 years ago for two weapons to be available to the Law Enforcement Officer. The Shotgun and the Rifle. The Shotgun and the Rifle were indispensable in their ability to give an Officer a choice of weapons that would fit the situation he was confronted with when he needed to defend himself. Somehow as the Law Enforcement role became more urbanized a misconception and concept of limiting the weapons available to the Patrol Officer was seen as being progressive. As the Tactical Team concept became accepted, it also relegated certain weapons, and just as important Special Training, to only a select few.

Now as high risk situations develop it is the “First Officer On The Scene” that responds to the “Shots Fired” call by dispatch. All the more reason that he be able to choose the weapon that would give him the “Tactical Advantage” the situation requires.

This course will provide the “Tactical Decision Making Skills” of when and how to deploy the Rifle in an Urban or Rural environment. It is intended not to replace the Shotgun rather to emphasize and Deploy the Rifle with its’ inherent and unique characteristics, based on Tactical Situations, that the Patrol Officer of today must face and Survive!

The training course will give skills for identification, as well as techniques for finding these devices. It will instruct and help train personal to respond to bomb threats and incidents.  Also an extensive overview of the personalities involved in bombing, and where to apply Site Vulnerability Analysis. With the increased availability of both explosives and information, and given current trends of bombings in the United States, this training is timely and relevant to many sectors of society. This seminar is designed to give Police Officers, SWAT/ Tactical Team Officers, First Responders, Fire Departments, the information needed to deal with a bomb or bomb threat.

RAPID DEPLOYMENT ACTIVE SHOOTER

 The response for Law Enforcement Officers to Tactical Situations has been based on the concept of the SWAT Team arriving on the scene and neutralizing the threat by conventional Tactics and Procedures. There is a formulae that has existed for some time that states Time = Lives. This equation refers how long it takes when lives are threatened, until the intervention by Tactical Officers to stop the use of deadly force against those we serve to protect. It is now evident, that just as a Fireman must respond to a fire and enter quickly to protect or save lives, so must Law Enforcement respond to the presence of the deadly "Active Shooter" in a confined urban environment.

Tactical Teams are fully capable of this responsibility except as the formulae states Time = Lives, and therefore the responding patrol "First Officers" on the scene are faced with a situation that is active and time sensitive to their course of action. If the response time of the Tactical Team is delayed or prolonged from its' notification time, to gearing up, and then travel to the scene, then again set in motion is the formulae Time = Lives What if no Tactical Team is available?

The Patrol Officer is guided by the above factor, to intervene and use that training and Tactics afforded him to help reduce a potential body count. Alone, he is severely limited in his ability to move and confront the problem. And yet when backup arrives even before the Tactical Team, he now has the ability to use Tactics and Techniques with a partner to help contain and reduce collateral damage until Tactical Units reach the scene. This Course gives the Responding Officers (First Officer on the Scene) the Training and Tactics to contain the situation, and reduce the felons' ability to cause further harm.

 Course Length ~ Two (2) days ~ 20 hours ~ Tuition $275.00

LESS LETHAL MUNITIONS

The Patrol Officer and Tactical Officer are confronted with various situations that require a decision as to the level of force needed. Less lethal alternatives must be considered when deadly force is not justified. The objective of this Course is to certify the User / Operator in deployment of less lethal munitions. In specific, the 12 Gage and 37 / 40 mm projectiles along with hand thrown / delivered devices.

Course Length ~ Two (2) days ~ 20 hours ~ Tuition $275.00
