Finally a course that bridges the gap between Defensive Tactics and Firearms. Firearms training stops at about the 5 yard line and DT starts at about 1 yard. This class covers the most under trained area in Law Enforcement. You'll spend 4 hours in the gym, 2 hours live fire and 2 hours of Reality Based Instruction by Certified Simunition® Instructor. (Everyday for 3 days !) What makes this class different is you'll practice the tactics you learned in the gym on the range and then finally force on force.
