Day 1 Fighting Pistol - This is a one-day course that will push the student in problem-solving with their handgun. It brings home the importance of one-handed pistol manipulation utilizing strong side and support side while engaging single and multiple targets. The student will leave the course with an understanding of gear placement and what works in unconventional shooting situations.

Day 2 Contact Threat Mitigation - Though it’s important to practice at farther distances, FBI statistics bring gunfighting at much closer distances. Approximately 90% of gunfights occur at contact within 15 feet, and approximately 40% of those were in contact at just 3 feet. This course focuses on quickly clearing your holster and effectively delivering combat effective hits using alternate sighting methods and getting off the line of attack at those close distances.

SAFARILAND TACTICAL BREACHING COURSE 

This two-day course provides operators with the necessary tools and tactics 
to deploy onto an objective and make forced entry through various tactical 
tools. The two-day class covers Manual breaching, Shotgun breaching and 
Flash bang breaching featuring the WallBanger Doorkey system. 

COST:  Tactical Breaching Operator Course / $295 

COURSE OVERVIEW 
The purpose behind the course is to expand the knowledge base behind 
Manual and Ballistic breaching. Our hope is to get away from the age-old 
practice of picking the biggest operator on the team, handing him a ram and 
hoping that brute force alone will successfully create an entry point. 
The breach is one, if not the most, important aspect of an operational plan. One 
of our goals is to stress the importance of proper and accurate breach analysis 
and planning. If the breach fails, there is no operation. 
We will discuss some different techniques for the generation of power when using 
breaching tools. The proper technique will speed up entries and build confidence 
in your breaching teams. It can reduce injuries and extend the longevity on the 
team. The course will teach you body positioning, aiming points, the various types 
of breaching techniques, team movement and placement. 
COURSE BENEFITS 
This course is conducted by real world professionals with strong operational 
experience in their respective fields. Our instructors are either active or 
former SWAT, CERT, Military and/or Supervisory professionals with years of 
knowledge and experience as Instructors. 
• Learn how to use breachers during drive-bys and include them in the 
planning process and target analysis. 
• Train snipers in what information to relay to breaching team personnel. 
• Train teams to know what to look for as far as the entry point.

Students should be familiar with dynamic entry, 
operator trained in distraction devices and the 
safe operation of 12 gauge pump shotguns. 
Required equipment 
• Gloves 
• Eye Protection 
• Ear Protection 
• Entry Gear/Raid Gear 
• 12 Gauge Shotgun 
(at least one per agency)

with his own equipment)
