This course has been designed and written to update current Police / Law Enforcement officers attached to tactical teams in precision rifle tactics. The course includes explosive window breaching charges and advanced hostile target scenarios. Often S.W.A.T. teams train their Snipers in room entry/C.Q.B. techniques but rarely are S.W.A.T. members cross trained in Long Weapons usage. This course also offers training for non - snipers in the art of long weapons usage. The course offers training in specialized skills for both Sniper/S.W.A.T. operators in covert applications and synchronized shooting. It enables essential personnel to operate under difficult and unexpected conditions. Specific areas of emphasis include precision rifleman skills, covert insertion, camouflage, sniper coordination, counter sniper techniques, long/short term observations and deployment of tactical incident control points.
