Active Shooter Instructor

This course is designed to give the instructor the knowledge and skill to train first responding officers to an Active Shooter incident. Active Shooter incidents are becoming more prevalent in law enforcement and the need to train officers on how to respond has become a vital part of law enforcement training. Instructor development issues will also be discussed as students will be “hands-on” teaching practical skills throughout this course. These practical skills will be taught with their focus on tactics. Firearms drills will be taught using Force-on-Force Munitions, however, these same drills can later be applied to “live-fire” range drills or high-level scenario-based training.
