Patrolman Course

FUNDAMENTALS FOR THE INDIVIDUAL

WHAT IS THIS COURSE?

This course primarily covers shooting and moving skills, also known as "assault shooting". Officers will learn basic and advanced weapon manipulation and retention, lone-officer threat engagement tactics, and advanced handgun self-defense, as well as how to identify and utilize good and bad cover/concealment when engaging known and unknown, single or multiple threat situations.

Long story short, we will teach your officers skills that maximize their safety and, if/when the use of deadly force is justified, maximize the PRECISION of their lethality. Just promise you'll only use these powers for good and not evil.

CANCELLATION POLICY

36 HOURS

For LEO/Military training sessions, we require THIRTY SIX (36) hours notice to refund, reschedule, reduce or cancel your group, after which your payment is forfeited.

Why are we so heartless and cruel?

When you make a reservation and then cancel last minute, you have prevented anyone else from having time to book the gear that you are no longer using, this includes gear for our civilian private parties (how we make our money). You've also booked that TIMESLOT and prevented anyone else from doing so. This leaves us with empty group slots and unused gear on the shelf which costs us a lot of money every year. That's why we have take payment upfront, to dissuade you from cancelling on us last minute and, in the event it can't be avoided, somewhat compensate us for the loss. Again, it doesn't even come close, but it's something.

But Kyle, what about weather?

We operate in inclement weather. 10-day forecasts are readily available. If you don't want to train in bad weather, you have UP TO 36 hours from your event to cancel, reduce or reschedule. After that, your payment is forfeited. If we have severe lightening storms DURING your event, we will suspend training until they pass OR issue a raincheck to reschedule your group. Bad guys do bad things in bad weather, you should always train accordingly.
