BUILDING UPON THE BASIC FUNDAMENTALS OF STRATEGIC FIREARMS TRAINING, THIS COURSE IS DESIGNED FOR SHOOTERS WITH A FOUNDATION IN TACTICAL CARBINE DEPLOYMENT WHO POSSESS THE APPROPRIATE GEAR AND EQUIPMENT TO BUILD UPON HIS/HER SKILLSET.
FOR THE EXPERT RIFLEMAN WHO IS SEEKING ADVANCED LEVEL TRAINING IN THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE CARBINE RIFLE AND ASSOCIATED SUPPORTING FIREARMS AND EQUIPMENT.
THE POLICE SNIPER IS THE NON-COLLATERAL DAMAGE SOLUTION TO ENDING AN ACTIVE THREAT WHEN ALL OTHER OPTIONS HAVE BEEN EXHAUSTED. THIS SPECIALIZED ROLE REQUIRES A HIGHLY SKILLED AND COMPETENT INDIVIDUAL IN ORDER TO BE EXECUTED SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY. OUR COMPREHENSIVE AND INTENSIVE TRAINING CURRICULUM WILL EQUIP THE POLICE SNIPER WITH THE ADVANCED SKILLS NEEDED TO EXPERTLY BUILD UPON HIS/HER SKILL-SET IN ORDER TO PERFORM THIS VITAL MISSION AT AN ELITE LEVEL. DEVELOPED AND TAUGHT BY A FORMER USMC SNIPER INSTRUCTOR WITH EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN COMBAT & TRAINING OPERATIONS.
THE ACTIVE SHOOTER IS A THREAT THAT LAW ENFORCEMENT IS FACED WITH MORE COMMONLY NOW THAN EVER. THOUGH EVERY ENCOUNTER HAS ITS UNIQUE CHALLENGES, THERE ARE UNIVERSAL CONSIDERATIONS AND STRATEGIES THAT CAN EQUIP FIRST RESPONDERS WITH THE TOOLS NEEDED TO NAVIGATE THIS DEADLY AND COMPLEX SITUATION. OUR APPROACH PUTS PARTICIPANTS INTO THOUGHT-PROVOKING SCENARIOS AND ALLOWS THEM TO APPLY KEY TACTICS AND PRINCIPLES TO ADDRESS A VARIETY OF THREATS AND SITUATIONS. WE INTEGRATE ALL OF THE COMPLEX VARIABLES FACED IN THESE SITUATIONS INCLUDING CROSS-AGENCY COORDINATION, CIVILIAN ACTORS, VARIED THREATS AND OTHERS TO CREATE A CHALLENGING COURSE.
IN A TACTICAL ENCOUNTER, THE POSSIBILITY OF A COLLEAGUE OR BYSTANDER GOING DOWN EXISTS. THE RESPONDING INDIVIDUAL’S ABILITY TO RECOVER THE WOUNDED PERSON SAFELY AND EFFECTIVELY COULD BE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LIFE AND DEATH.
PROTEST MOVEMENTS ARE A GROWING CHALLENGE FOR AGENCIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THE INCREASING SOPHISTICATION OF PROTEST MOVEMENTS AND THE PROVOCATION OF OPPOSING PROTEST ACTORS FURTHER COMPLICATES THESE CHALLENGES. CIVIL UNREST CAN QUICKLY TURN INTO VIOLENT CHAOS THAT HAS THE POTENTIAL TO OVER-RUN EVEN THE LARGEST OF ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES. HAVING THE PROPER FORESIGHT, EQUIPMENT, AND SKILL-SET TO PREPARE FOR OR RESPOND TO A PROTEST IS PARAMOUNT TO A DEPARTMENT’S ABILITY TO MAINTAIN/RESTORE PEACE AND ORDER.
ONE OF THE KEYS TO SURVIVING A TACTICAL ENCOUNTER IS EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATIONS WITH YOUR TEAM AND OTHER RESOURCES ON THE SCENE. THIS COURSE WILL TEACH EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION TECHNIQUES INCLUDING VERBAL/NON-VERBAL AND THE USE OF COMMUNICATIONS TECHNOLOGY IN TACTICAL SCENARIOS.
A SKILLED MARKSMAN INTENT ON CAUSING MASS CASUALTIES OR SELECTIVE TARGETING IS A FORMIDABLE THREAT. RECENT HISTORY HAS SHOWN THAT THIS THREAT IS ONE THAT AGENCIES MUST PREPARE FOR, WHETHER THE SNIPER IS TARGETING LAW ENFORCEMENT OR CIVILIANS. WE TEACH EXPERIENCE DERIVED TECHNIQUES FOR IDENTIFYING, PREVENTING, AND MITIGATING SNIPER ATTACKS IN BOTH URBAN AND RURAL ENVIRONMENTS.
UNDERSTANDING THE FORCES THAT INFLUENCE A PROJECTILE’S FLIGHT PATH FROM THE MOMENT THE PRIMER IS IGNITED UNTIL THE PROJECTILE COMES TO REST, IS ESSENTIAL TO ACCURATELY PREDICTING ITS PLACEMENT AND EFFECT ON TARGET. IF YOU ARE SEEKING A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF BALLISTICS AND HOW YOU CAN APPLY THIS KNOWLEDGE TO ADVANCE YOUR SHOOTING, THIS COURSE IS FOR YOU.
A MODERN CARBINE RIFLE WITH THE RIGHT ACCURACY COMPONENTS & SHOOTER INPUT MAKES A FORMIDABLE PRECISION PLATFORM. LIGHT-WEIGHT, SEMI-AUTOMATIC, RELIABLE, & ACCURATE; THESE VERSATILE RIFLES ARE POPULAR FOR A REASON.
