Basic Swat

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.

Night Vision Operator

This is a two day course designed to provide the tactical operator with a strong foundation for the use of night vision equipment and its role in law enforcement tactical operations. The course is a systematic approach to equipment selection, use, its limitations and operational considerations through classroom discussions, practical exercises, live fire range drills and scenario based exercises using force on force marking rounds. Students will gain hands-on experience with the function and operation of various night vision systems as well as various infrared laser sighting systems; the use if IR Light, the benefits and limitations of night vision devices and associated equipment; and the dangers presented by infrared laser devices to eye safety.
