"Thought I would drop you a line and
let you know how much I enjoyed hosting the Active Shooter
class. I heard a lot of very positive things about the class.
Everyone I talked to said that this was the
best class they ever attended. The instructors were excellent!
I learned more than I anticipated. I am still working on perfecting
my "reach" technique but
I know I am very prepared to use it when the time comes and
looking
forward to putting it to good use. Several of the principals
I learned
will also improve how I do entries with the SRT. The force
on force
was incredible, it really made you concentrate on perfecting
your technique and drilled home
the importance of communication with your team mate.
If you did it right you could go through it
with ease. If you did it wrong, well, fortunately you just
have a bruise to remind you of what you were supposed to do.
We are already discussing hosting the low light class as soon
as we can."

I wanted to take a moment to tell you and
your staff about the recent inci-dent I was involved in. I
wanted to say thanks for your quality training as it proved
to be beneficial in the experience. This incident reinforced
the attitudes displayed by you and other staff. The force
on force trai-ning I went through in the Active Shooter Instructor
Course forced me to push the envelope so I could see and be
aware of my personal limita-tions. I took the information
back to my department and did the same with our team members
and Officers. A co-worker and fellow tactical team mem-ber
went to your low light instructor and did the same. We always
train for the worst but hope and pray for the best. “Before
the warrior can face the enemy, the warrior must face himself”

Lt. Chris J Cole

SRO & Small Agency Response to the Active Shooter
Course Length: 3-Days
Tuition: $495
***This course is
Missouri P.O.S.T. Approved***
Description:
This course is designed as a 24 hour OPERATOR LEVEL COURSE to assist officers
assigned as School Resource Officers or School Liaison Officers, College
Campus Patrol Officers, or patrol officers from smaller agencies that could
be faced with the initial response to an “active shooter" incident.
Areas of concern include highly populated buildings such as schools, businesses,
day care centers, etc. While a multiple officer response is preferred for
this type of critical incident, the nature and timing of this type of problem
may require a SINGLE officer or PAIR of officers to respond quickly and
effectively in order to reduce loss of life. Acquiring the training and
skills necessary to respond rapidly and effectively in order to locate,
isolate and/or neutralize the threat posed by an active shooter cannot be
overemphasized.
We
will review well-publicized and recent active shooter tragedies and then
conduct operations in a realistic manner. This course includes extensive
"force on force" drilling. We use actors and projectile training
weapons in order to make the training valid and as realistic as possible.
Repeated drilling increases the proficiency level of the participant so
that he or she can more effectively understand and deploy these proven
concepts and protocols during the “real thing”.
This course is highly
recommended for SRO’s or school liaison officers and small agency
first response professionals who will respond to a call for help during
one of these critical incidents.
