Course description: In a critical incident it is the small things that matter most. The small things that are always overlooked. The small things that when milliseconds matter between life or death and split-second decisions must be made that will change lives forever. You need to know that in your biggest incident, it is the smallest things that will get you home. This course is a one-day course consisting of 8-hours of training. Students will learn firearms training and tactics towards the following: (1.) Close quarter vehicle ambush. (2.) Vehicle bailout engagements. (3.) Officer survival tactics around exterior of vehicle during an ambush. The student will walk away after this one-day course with a mental mindset, technical, and tactical skills, and be more prepared for their unknown. For when their unthinkable happens. Critical Mindset for Counter Ambush isn’t the normal everyday range training. Our approach is to purposely induce as much stress as possible during training in order to place our student in that “real-world” mind frame. Our students perform under stress firing their weapons, re-loading, fixing malfunctions, in and out of the vehicles all while communicating out loud to our instructors what is happening. We take great pride in over-loading our student’s senses and showing them that they can fight and survive the ambush. Our instructors have over fifty-years of law enforcement experience combined. What we teach isn’t something that we’ve read about in books or watched on YouTube. What we teach is incidents that we’ve been through in our careers and lived through. We encourage our students to not only learn from what went well for us, but to focus on where we failed and learned from our failures, so they don’t have to learn the hard way. We keep our ammunition count low for our class. We’re accountable for our rounds in our profession. We must make every round that we discharge to stop the threat count. We are believers that how you train is how you fight. We want to ensure you are prepared for your day. Student equipment: Duty Belt, Battle Belt, Thigh Rig, etc...
