Diminished Light Tactics Operator

 

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

 

The goal of the training program is to prepare the armed professional with a detailed and functional knowledge of conflict, tactics and weapons handling required for successful operation in a low light environment.

 

The course will be directed at a multi faceted approach to conflict and conflict resolution, specifically low light situations.  Several areas will be addressed; each area by it self is an area of expertise requiring detailed individual course instruction.

 

In addition, the course will include an intense overview of human behavior / response and the understanding of behavior as it relates to training and human performance enhancement.

 

Training Audience, Format and Content

 

This course is specifically designed for the existing law enforcement, private security, or military firearms instructor who may require an enhanced knowledge of the application of diminished light tactics in conjunction with the use of firearms in critical, real world situations. Additionally, this course is designed to provide a solid understanding of adult education and methods of instruction as they pertain to the field of diminished light tactics, firearms, and force application. Students will also learn acceptable and legally defendable methods of subject control, use of force, and weapon retention. Practical application exercises are combined with stimulus/response conditioning principals and the development of a winning mindset.

 

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.

 

This course is designed in a 2 day format, for the operator certification program.  The courses are generally designed to run from 0830 to 1630 hours daily, but can be manipulated for evenings and extended days as needed.
