Rifle/Carbine Instructor                                                         

 

This course will be modified accordingly to a student’s level of Rifle/Carbine knowledge and understanding.

 

Training Goals and Objectives

 

This is a practical skill, instructor development course designed for the armed professional currently engaged in street patrol or tactical operations within the law enforcement or military police community. During each block of instruction the student will receive a practical base of knowledge in the dynamics of the Police Rifle/Carbine, its nomenclature, and techniques for successful portation, carry and use during a potential high-risk situation. Each attendee will receive dynamic practical training in the efficient and effective use of the rifle/carbine in environmental conditions similar to those experienced during actual performance of law enforcement duties, to include movement, cover, reduced light, incapacitation and shooting positions. This instructor certification program is presented in a contemporary and legally defensible format. Response skills will be developed through simulated force application situations and dynamic exercises

 

Training Audience, Format and Content

 

This course is most successful when taught and received with audiences of 30 officers or fewer, but has been given in larger groups with successful reviews.  The smaller groups enable officers to have more direct dialog, and contact with the students, permits for more one-one development of shooting skills with the instructors.

 

The course is designed in 5-day sessions with each day involving the exploration of a different topical matter, reinforcement of previous learned material and extensive live-fire range time.  The course is generally designed to run from 0800 to 1700 hours daily, with day 4 being utilized for evening low-light exercises.
