Five (5) Day
Students in our Entry Team Concepts Course will learn the building blocks for all weapons- from carbine, pistol and empty hand combat. Students will learn how to use these principles during suspect controls and team tactics while managing a carbine.They will apply while shooting, practicing room clearing, and HRT scenarios. This is principle-based training meant to address trained/organized multiple-threats such as terrorist and domestic terrorist attacks for Homeland security. These techniques can be easily implemented in multi-agency, as well as joint task force operations.
