TACTICAL PATROL OFFICER
CERTIFICATION COURSE
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course trains Officers in the tactical skillsets necessary to respond to, stabilize, and resolve high-risk patrol incidents. Today’s law enforcement Officer commonly lacks the tactical proficiency demanded by today's ever-changing threats. The frontline Patrol Officer, Deputy, and Trooper should possess tactical problem-solving skills that give them an edge in an incident and make them an asset to their shifts, agencies, and communities. The various skills and techniques taught in this course create a solid tactical foundation for an Officer to utilize in a high-risk incident as well as build upon throughout their career.

SIMUNITIONS NOTE:
This course utilizes marking cartridges against stationary (non role player) targets during certain evolutions in the course. For this component, students may utilize either a Simunition/UTM bolt conversion or they may utilize just a Simunition/UTM handgun with the appropriate marking ammunition. If a student or agency is unable to procure either of the above, both a bolt conversion and the needed ammo can be rented for an additional $50. This is payable by selecting the Simunition rental option when purchasing on the website or it can be added to the invoice for department/agency purchase order.
