Description: EVERY entity and organization today is solely focused on numbers and are NOT providing any real firearms instructor training to their students. This is the ONLY course available specifically for specialized firearms instructors’ continuing education.

This course is designed to teach the Specialized Firearms Instructor to truly begin or to continue their journey to being a genuine subject matter expert (SME) in firearms training. This training will stand you apart from the field of other trainers in firearms by correcting any current problems you have first, then teaching you how to fix your students’ issues.

This course will give the firearms instructor the information they need to diagnose problems and issues with shooters much more quickly than they would be able to without years of experience in firearms training. This course is the result of over 30 years of firearms instructor knowledge and over 20 years of being a nationally and internationally ranked and sponsored professional USPSA Grand Master pistol competitor. This course will assist the current firearms trainer in shortening that amount of time it takes to learn exactly how to help shooters overcome problem areas encountered on the range and on the street.

Description: DITEP is derived from the national Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC) Program, a successful law enforcement procedure used to detect drug and alcohol impaired drivers. The methods employed in this training are based on medical and scientific facts. The information is supported by research conducted in both laboratory and field studies. The DEC Program was validated in laboratory by studies conducted at the Johns Hopkins University, and in the field by the Southern California Research Institute.

The training will enable school resource officers along with school nurses to determine first of all, whether or not the student is impaired. If it is determined that there is impairment, whether the impairment is due to a medical problem or is drug related. And finally, if the impairment is drug related, through proven diagnostic procedures, what category or categories of drugs that are likely causing the observed impairment.

DITEP enables schools to employ an aggressive evaluation and detection program that will cause drug usage in schools to decline. Consequently, not only will the disruption caused by those abusing drugs be decreased, but also the incidence of those individuals driving to and from schools while impaired by either alcohol or drugs will also be greatly reduced, making our communities and schools a safer place for all.

This system has already proven to greatly mitigate mistake-of-fact shootings in the line of duty.
This course is written to build and refine the skills of instructors necessary to develop and run MRDS training and transition programs. The course includes both classroom and live-fire range time.

Description: As time progresses, a continued lack of acknowledgment for law enforcement authority can progress as well. One of the many ways this can manifest is by an individual merely refusing to comply with an officer’s lawful order for the individual to exit their vehicle during a traffic stop.

Students in this course can expect to:

• Explain relevant case law that aids officers in the efforts to perform sound traffic stops investigations.
• Perform physical extraction techniques on both passive and active resisting suspects who refuse to exit their vehicle during a lawful traffic stop.
• Effectively perform deliberate action on vehicles as it pertains to forcefully breaking windows, making mechanical adjustments, and altering the interior of the vehicle during extraction efforts.

Description: Many basic tactics have stayed the same for centuries, with the evolution of technology and society, the way law enforcement must operate while conducting building/room clearances is forever evolving. No tactical concept is perfect, or without risk. This class will help officers to significantly reduce risk posed to themselves by staying up-to-date on their building clearing tactics. Furthermore, there is often a disconnect between combatives and effective clearing techniques. Students in this course will learn and demonstrate proven leverage-based subject control techniques. By the end of the course, students will have pressure-tested both the building clearing techniques and subject control techniques in a scenario-based environment.  We believe tactics should be taught as an all encompassing theory so gaps are not exposed when techniques are used in real world application.

Equipment Needed:Recommended course attire: BDU style pants, hooded sweat shirt, duty belt, Blue gun, body armor and gloves.

Description: DITEP is derived from the national Drug Evaluation and Classification (DEC) Program, a successful law enforcement procedure used to detect drug and alcohol impaired drivers. The methods employed in this training are based on medical and scientific facts. The information is supported by research conducted in both laboratory and field studies. The DEC Program was validated in laboratory by studies conducted at the Johns Hopkins University, and in the field by the Southern California Research Institute.

The training will enable school resource officers along with school nurses to determine first of all, whether or not the student is impaired. If it is determined that there is impairment, whether the impairment is due to a medical problem or is drug related. And finally, if the impairment is drug related, through proven diagnostic procedures, what category or categories of drugs that are likely causing the observed impairment.

DITEP enables schools to employ an aggressive evaluation and detection program that will cause drug usage in schools to decline. Consequently, not only will the disruption caused by those abusing drugs be decreased, but also the incidence of those individuals driving to and from schools while impaired by either alcohol or drugs will also be greatly reduced, making our communities and schools a safer place for all.
