Course Description:

​

 This course focuses on the core skillsets needed for Front Line Patrol personnel to effectively respond to an Active Shooter incident. Being able to effectively deploy the Patrol Rifle along with an options-based understanding of active threat interdiction tactics are crucial knowledge that all Officers serving in today's society should possess. This course focuses on realistic and contextual rifle skills to include engaging targets at distance, shooting with movement, shooting from cover, and engaging threats as a multiple Officer team. Active Threat Interdiction tactics teach 3, 2, and solo contact team deployment, structure movement and room clearing.
