Length: 8-hours
The shotgun is one of the most effective weapons in the police
arsenal. It is also one of the most misunderstood and feared weapons
by officers. We are told this seminar provides the clearest
instruction officers have ever received on the function and tactical
employment of the police shotgun—even very experienced shotgunners
have commented on how much they learned about the use of the practical
combat shotgun in this course.
The topics of this seminar
cover the laws and articulation of deadly force per the Constitution
and your state law, as well as fire discipline theory, retention of
the shotgun, movement and fire, malfunction drills, and transitioning
to the handgun.
This course offers
basic-to-advanced training in the patrol shotgun. This is not an
academy-level course, but a comprehensive eight-hours of shooting and
hitting under realistic conditions. This course deals with the
reality of the patrol officer who does not have unlimited ammunition
and will generally be forced to transition to his or her handgun if
the shotgun runs dry. The patrol shotgun is
generally employed in a close support capacity where distances are
measured in steps, and often within 15 yards of the threat. This
means officer survival is measured in tenths of a second, and requires
employment methods that support instantly hitting the suspect as soon
as the threat is identified. Additionally, tactical employment
of the shotgun requires efficient and effective use of the barricade
for protection while engaging the suspect and the ability to quickly,
smoothly, and efficiently transition to your handgun in an emergency.
We provide training to not only familiarize the officer with the
shotgun, but to create an outstanding ability to put rounds on target
in sudden-conflict situations, master the recoil, and to utilize the
shotgun in the manner in which it is intended—to provide overwhelming
deadly force capabilities in those
situations where the metal
meets the meat, and you must come out on top.
