Course Description

This is an intense Law Enforcement course designed to assist with preparation of seasoned police snipers in developing a curriculum and foundation for teaching the basics to their sniper teams. The primary goal of the Sniper Instructor Course is to enable students to safely instruct and train fellow officers in the use of the sniper rifle, scope, ammo, fundamentals, range safety, methodologies of instructing, how to test/evaluate students, set up range drills/quals, and coaching techniques. There will be max participation through teach-backs involving shooting/teaching skills within the classroom and on the range. Students will develop two complete sets of instructional media they can take with them to kickstart their LE Basic Sniper Course. Upon completion of this course, students will have necessary tools to take back to their teams to begin building a curriculum for sustaining/developing new police snipers for their sniper program.
