This is a one-day closed workshop for Police and other Public Safety/LE only. This 8-hour long course uses police qualification standards and not only builds on them, but applies them to real world practical situations. The techniques learned here will advance standard knowledge and provide members with a greater confidence in responding to high risk situations safely.
The first half of the morning will focus on building confidence in achieving the annual qualifications standards utilizing fresh techniques to improve marksmanship.
The rest of the day will focus on further developing member knowledge and practical skillsets in advanced tactics. The purpose of this portion of the day is to take current member skills and apply them to real world realities and threats. We train members to advance their current skills, accurately and quickly recognize threats and either engage or escape high risk situations effectively and safely.
Members will learn real world applications of tactical trauma care (including proper tourniquet application)
By the end of the course, members will be more confident not only doing annual qualifications, but also managing high risk threat situations.
Threats exist on your watch. Our goal is to make members more confident in their ability to be safe and to triumph over any and all high risk situations that may present themselves in the line of duty.
This is a course which encourages open dialogue and team learning.
