PPSC

Low Light Threat Interdiction™

Instructor Course

 

 

Truly a unique, cutting-edge program that you'll find available nowhere else!

The PPSC Low Light Threat Interdiction™ Instructor Course is a specialized course for law enforcement focused on firearms and technology for border interdiction, high risk law enforcement patrolling, and rural operations. This course was developed by PPSC cadre to meet the continuing and growing need for training that is a fusion of technology, tactics, and techniques for law enforcement personnel working in low light within the following realms:

  • Customs and border protection

  • Counter-drug / narcotics enforcement / drug task force

  • Law enforcement personnel with rural area responsibilities

  • Military personnel assigned counter-drug/JTF operations

  • Any law enforcement, military, or USG personnel having an interest in low light survival and techniques

Attendees can expect to conduct a combination of live fire, hands-on, and tutorial exercises to make them knowledgeable and capable of all manner of observation/surveillance and officer survival/deadly force use in low light conditions. This course “picks up” where most “low light” courses leave off. It will address all manner of technology and operational needs. Considering the prevalence of criminal and terrorist activity that occurs in lower light conditions, and the high risk to officers in this environment, this course serves to advance the skills and knowledge of the attendees so that they may return to their agencies with information on how to have what can be a decisive edge, vs. disadvantage, in low light.
