Description:
The importance of preparing for the type of dynamic, quickly changing, worse-case scenario that special operations officers frequently encounter cannot be overstated. The importance of training in a highly realistic training environment in which the student has the opportunity to train in scenarios that present this type of challenge cannot be overemphasized. It is because of this that the “SWAT Team Tactics” course includes extensive “Force on Force” drilling, live-fire drilling, tactical countermeasures, and several field training exercises with actors, pyro-technics, and projectile training weapons designed to simulate a “real-life” scenario and to increase the proficiency level of the participant.
