ACTIVE SHOOTER & TERROR INCIDENT RESPONSE

Course Description

      An Active Shooter Situation is an incident in which a person, or persons are methodically and systematically killing or wounding people. If the Shooter(s) are not stopped the body count will rise. Does your Agency have plan of action? Have you practiced it? Are you looking for another viewpoint or different tactics? This intensive two-day course is designed to teach the student an effective response to an active shooter situation. The Course defines the problem and puts an historical context to it.

      The Course also provides the student with a new response option to combat this growing deadly trend in law enforcement. The Student’s equipment and weapons selection, as it pertains to active shooter situations, will be evaluated and discussed. The student will be taught team response tactics that are easily learned and adapted. The Course will culminate in actual responses to Active Shooter situations where the student will have the ability to test and refine the newly learned tactics.
