Patrol officers are the first line of defense in nearly every incident, so they must be ready, mentally and physically, to meet these challenges.  This course will focus on tactical mind-set and survival skills every officer working on the street should have in order to end his or her shift safely.  Students will learn about personal mental and physical conditioning, vehicle stop tactics, active shooter scenarios, domestic disturbances, shoot/no shoot decisions, suspicious persons, building searches, and other general patrol responsibilities and tactics.  These topics will be discussed and practiced through both classroom and extensive practical application.  Practical exercises will be conducted involving a variety of fully dynamic and realistic scenarios utilizing Simunition® FX® Marking Cartridges.
