Course Description
Tacflow’s Aerial Platform Course brings formalized training to SWAT teams and Aircrews who are wanting to begin a AP program or expand and validate their current program. A Police Aerial Platform program allows for more than just firing from a helicopter if needed, it also provides for protective overwatch from the air for police officers on the ground and support for SWAT operators during operations. As vehicular attacks continue to occur by terrorist’s, the aerial option gives SWAT Commanders the ability to use a safe method to stop or mitigate these threats. During the course students are taught multiple approaches to target(s) and are taught the ‘how and why’ regarding the projectiles ballistic trajectory from this platform. The course also covers safety, aircraft set-up, SWAT/Aircrew roles, communications and rapid deployment. Course length is determined by student to aircraft ratio.
Our Tacflow Aerial Platform Instructors are SWAT Operators who actively deploy in this role at their respective agencies.

Course Description
This 5-day Instructor Certification level course is optimally designed for police snipers on SWAT teams who are wanting to begin a 50 Cal program or have a program and want to verify and/or validate their current training.

The continued use of vehicles as weapons overseas and in the homeland can be mitigated or potentially stopped through the proper deployment of large caliber rifles. This course is conducted in a crawl, walk, run progression and will enable the student to apply the curriculum learned back at their agencies for immediate use. All topics covered are relevant to deploying large caliber rifles in non-permissive environments. Instructor certification will be effective for 3 years from the date of training.
