Course Description
Most law enforcement firearms training does not reflect what really occurs during actual officer involved shootings. Much of law enforcement firearms training consists of qualification only with qualification times being generous. Police shootings tend to be rapid fire at close to medium ranges. The courts have ruled qualifications are not training. Many law enforcement training programs fail to prepare the officer beyond just passing a qualification. This class will compare officer involved shooting to current training. The class will focus on how to effectively balance speed and accuracy once the decision to shoot has been made. Accuracy must be complimeted with speed for an officer to survive the gunfight. There are many aspects to this class, but the main training point will be for the officer to be able to apply the fundamentals of accuracy at speed with a pistol.
