Advanced Tactical Operations

Law Enforcement Active Shooter Emergency Response

  Terrorism involving active shooter attacks on population centers has become part of law enforcement officers’ awareness; however, there is a significant difference between awareness and readiness. Increased awareness of a problem does not ensure preparedness or appropriate response tactics. This course addresses technical aspects of planning and implementing a rapid law enforcement deployment to an active shooter incident. This is achieved through classroom presentations, hands-on performance-based field training, and scenario-based practical exercises.
