This 5 day course will teach the individual to take decisive action under pressure and realize definitive hits and obtain rapid position assumption. You will be working with extremely complex problems and will be tutored by our very experienced instructors who have done this in the “real world”. You will be asked to think through tactical problems and react to constantly changing scenarios. Most of the exercises will be force on force and some will be live fire. For five days you will be exposed to use of force scenarios where critical thinking and decisive action are necessary to be successful.
Our dual rail attack system replicating high-speed closure from edged weapon attacks, high speed mover, obstacle course with multiple shooting positions, night time donga trail and the shoot house will be utilized for both day and night evolutions. One day will be dedicated to the Israeli Krav Maga “hands on” self defense course which will include gun take-a-ways and weapon retention in a CQB environment, when the use of a weapon is not feasible. You will learn and train on principles surrounding threats 360 degrees one-on-one with instructors.
What it's like to be in a real shooting and what are the after effects of a shooting? Re-enactments of real shootings that have transpired will be presented to the class with you as the shooter and the instructors as the suspects. Airsoft will be used. An experienced detective from the L.A.P.D.’s RHD will demonstrate walk-throughs, will gather statements, contain the “crime” scene and do an O.I.S. reconstruction. Evidence will be contained and a crime scene will be established in the same way they are in real shootings. You find out exactly what happens if you are ever involved in a deadly force encounter.
You will learn how to rescue an officer or hostage. This includes tactics used, dialogue between hostage taker and you, critical shot set up and placement. You will use a vehicle for hostage rescue with cover teams set up. During these rescues, an experienced EMT will demonstrate emergency medical techniques for an injured officer/hostage in a critical situation with hands on demonstrations. You will have the opportunity to do emergency medical evaluation and treatment and hostage rescue under duress.
On the final day, for the first time, we will have the lead tactics instructor (Sgt. Frank Mika)from the LAPD Academy come out and work with you one on one. Then there will be a question and answer session with the instructors while dinner is served. Certificates and special t-shirts will be given out.
