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.

experience in their respective fields. Our instructors are either active or
