Tactical Courses

The five-day Basic Tactical Officer Course is designed for the entry level or newly appointed tactical officer. This high intensity course focuses on the basics of working in the team environment; concentrating on tactical team skills, operations and concepts. There will be extensive range drills and dynamic scenarios and the SWAT student must pass physical fitness and shooting standards.  Students can expect 10-12 hour days as we firmly believe a 40 hour course cannot cover all of the material needed to prepare an officer to operationally join a tactical team upon return to their agency. Students should have a high degree of proficiency with their hand guns and rifles (or subguns) prior to enrolling.

The three day Advanced Sniper Course is designed specifically to address the unique needs of the law enforcement SWAT sniper who has graduated from a basic sniper school and yearns for additional training and knowledge.  Instruction will include covert urban operations, moving targets, low and no light engagement, constructing and shooting from urban and vehicular hides, shooting through various mediums to include vehicles and glass, and sniper initiated assaults as well as the sniper’s role in hostage rescue and counterterrorism.  Range training will include engagement of targets out to 300+ yards. Additional training considerations incorporate the use of suppressed weapons, night operation devices and Low / No Light operations.

This three day course is designed for the officers who work in rural environments and want to improve their odds of success operating in rural terrain.  This unique environment can prove difficult and dangerous for individual officers / deputies and most tactical operations. This course will involve extensive training in operations and tactics of tactical personnel in the wooded, rural or remote environment.  We will teach you how to navigate through this environment and use it to your advantage.

This course is designed and taught by highly trained operational personnel with hands on experience with the .50 cal M2 heavy machine gun, .50 cal M82A1 Barrett Rifle and M240 Bravo systems.  The course consists of classroom presentation and range (dry and live fire) exercises for these specific Heavy Weapons.  This course is designed specifically for nuclear facility security personnel that employ these type of weapons or any other agency with similar armament and mission requirements. We offer this course in operator level and instructor level depending on your needs.

This three-day course is designed for the experienced tactical operator with prior training in basic swat tactics and a minimum of two years on a tactical team. This course develops and advances the fundamentals of SWAT operators using lessons learned from veteran SWAT officers and team leaders.  We will cover new concepts and tactics in dealing with emerging threat trends to include counter-terrorism and responding to hostile events.  There will be advanced shooting techniques, hostage rescue, CQB, and increasingly more complicated scenarios that the student must overcome.  This class will cover the planning, preparation, and execution phase as well as student led debriefs.  This challenging course is a “must” for SWAT operators who are hungry for more specialized training or need an “intensity boost” in their routine tactical training.

This one day course is designed for the Patrol Active Shooter Response, High Risk Patrol Environments or Law Enforcement Special Operations Personnel that deploy ballistic bunkers as a tactical tool in high risk and tactical environments. Participants will spend the majority of the course time conducting practical exercises or on range conducting drills and live fire exercises.
