Level 2 - Close
Protective Operational Tactics
This course will be modified to the level of expertise in the audience and
can be adapted in the classroom for multiple levels of experience and
understanding.
Training Goals and Objectives
This is an advanced skill development course designed for the armed
professional engaged in protective services operations. During this block of
instruction the student will receive a practical base of knowledge in the
dynamics of protective operations and techniques for successful management
of such details. Further, the attendee will receive training in the
efficient and effective use of the duty handgun, pistol and/or revolver in
environmental conditions similar to those experienced during a protective
service detail, to include; close quarters shooting, shooting in and around
vehicles and shooting from unconventional positions. This program is
presented in a contemporary and legally defensible format. Response skills
will be developed through simulated force application situations and dynamic
range exercises
The course will be directed at a multi agency/multi disciplinary approach to
protective service operations. Several areas will be addressed; each area by
it self is an area of expertise requiring detailed individual course
instruction.
Training Audience, Format and Content
This is an advanced skill development course designed for the armed
professional currently engaged in tactical operations or initiating a
tactical program, at the law enforcement or military level.
This course is most successful when taught and received with audiences of 30
officers or fewer, but has been given in groups of 100 or more with
successful reviews. The smaller groups enable officers to have more direct
dialog & contact with the instructors and the other students.
The course is designed in 4 day sessions with each day involving the
exploration of a different topic and the reinforcement of previous learned
material. The course is generally designed to run from 0800 to 1800 hours
daily, but can be manipulated for evenings and extended days as needed.
