Course Overview
The course is separated into two segments: lecture and range drills. The lecture portion of the class will focus on technical information, tactical considerations, table top exercises. It also covers the latest in case law and technology. To ensure students have a full understanding of the subject, they are then asked to “teach back” in their own words key concepts, decisions or instructors discussed during the lecture period. Range drills consist of a number of live-fire operational information, tactical application and scenario-based force-on-force training exercises. Participants use a mix of simunition and live ammunition, in addition to protective gear to role play through actual scenarios. Each scenario is recorded and, at the completion of each exercise, reviewed by the instructors.
