Focus: All sworn or commissioned officers of any rank.
Length: 8 hours
The reality of any jurisdiction of any size
experiencing an Active Shooter event (where one or more criminal or
terrorist suspects intentionally engage in indiscriminant violent
conduct that may result in multiple deaths of innocents) can no longer
be reasonably denied. These events have occurred in the largest urban
settings as well as remote rural communities. Cutting Edge Training’s
"Active Shooter Response and Mitigation" course provides unique and
must-have training for your officers to more safely and effectively
respond to these tragic events, thereby mitigating the carnage
inherent in this type of incident.
This course relies upon proven tactics rather than
"high-speed, low-drag" cool-if-they-actually-work techniques
that your officers cannot remember or employ just weeks following
training. Officers are, instead, trained to employ principles of Sound
Tactical Doctrine—proven tactics and methods that can be
employed every day in their routine patrol duties that also permit the
safe and effective resolution of high- or known-risk incidents. This
training increases the day-to-day flexibility of your officers’
tactical response while honing those very same skills necessary to
respond successfully to an Active Shooter.
The constitutional limits of the deadly force
response is covered to provide the participants with an in-depth, nuts
and bolts understanding of the deadly force threshold. Additionally,
articulating the factors leading to the deadly force response decision
are reinforced throughout the training scenarios.
Hasty planning skills are presented and developed
throughout the course. Mitigating the deadliness of the Active Shooter
requires a quick response that is also effective in stopping the
suspect(s)’s threat to innocents and also enhances the safety of the
officers. To do this, officers must be able to rapidly evaluate the
circumstances and communicate location and situation specific
information that will lead to a coordinated response. This
coordination is required between hasty-teammates as well as with
dispatch and supervisory and command elements.
Individual and team movement skills, tactics, and
strategies are presented, developed, and honed in practical exercises.
These involve safe movement to threat, entry and clearing, contact
drills, and taking the suspect(s) into custody while maximizing
officer safety and mitigating the injury to additional victims.
Systema Professional Training Weapons (utilizing a AirSoft pellets),
AirSoft pistols, and red-guns where appropriate, provide safe yet
extremely realistic training for your officers.
This training provides officers with a complete package of
achievable skills, strategies, equipment suggestions, training
weapons, weapons handling, and tactics to safely and effectively
respond to the inevitable Active Shooter event in your jurisdiction.
