Description

Course Description: This dynamic course of instruction is designed to prepare the first responder to isolate, distract, and neutralize an active shooter.  The course will cover shooting and moving, threshold evaluation, concepts and principles of team movement (including solo officer strategies), setting up for room entry and room entry techniques, approach and breaching the crisis site, follow-on responder tactics, improvised explosive devices, and post-engagement priorities of work.  The course will culminate with dynamic “force-on-force” scenarios.

Recommended Equipment: Good attitude, open mind, pen and paper, duty gear, body armor, water, and appropriate clothing for "force on force" training on day 2 (i.e. long sleeve shirt, pants, groin protection). Head, eye, and throat protection will be provided by ALERRT.
