This MCOLES approved training program is available to sworn law enforcement officers and military personnel. The program consists of two days of intense firearms training and is designed for the uniformed and plain clothes officer. This training combines our Handgun Deployment & Concealed Handgun Deployment courses to provide an enhanced training experience. Instruction set will strengthen the ability to carry, accurately deploy and safely re-holster a semi-automatic handgun from/to concealment as well as duty holsters. Emphasis is based on safety, equipment selection, concealment techniques and weapon presentation from different types of clothing and holsters. Teaching points include situational awareness, developing a combat mindset, effective decision making, weapon manipulation, improving shooting accuracy and speed, recoil management, one hand shooting techniques, injured shooter considerations, efficient movement and developing safe/effective combat handgun deployment techniques while in uniform or plain clothes. Also covered is the plain clothes response to active killer situations and identifying yourself as a police officer. Day one will focus on the use of duty/tactical belts and day two will be primarily committed to concealed carry work.
All students must be confident in the safe handling of firearms and basic handgun techniques as this is a high pace program. Participants will conduct live fire drills in varying lighting conditions, as well as reality-based scenario training that is physically and mentally challenging. Inside the waistband holsters must have a non-collapsible opening. Blackhawk SERPA holsters and similar trigger finger actuated holsters are strongly discouraged.
