The simunition training and
dynamic building entry skills
taught, combined with the
WMD portion, was critical. The
unit that I am in is fortunate to
get a lot of training compared
to the rest of patrol, and have
done some simunition training
and building clearing, however,
when we would go through this
training, it was just addressing
threats. Your training combined
that, along with the WMD,
which made us realize (from
the scenario) that although
there were no more active
shooters in the building, the job
was not complete, due to the
presence of WMD materials,
which had to be mitigated.
Working in the hazmat suits
with the gas masks brought
the discomfort to a higher level,
but was a lot of fun and a great
learning experience. I have
used these skills in another
active shooter simunitions
course a few months ago, and
was very comfortable with the
dynamics of it after having
gone through your course.
