The Combat Shooting Course is designed for Law Enforcement agencies that want firearms training with the best practice approach to developing and preparing personnel for high-risk operations, physically, psychologically and cognitively. This course has been developed to educate and train students in current techniques and procedures in safe weapons handling, marksmanship, critical thinking and cognitive skills to increase survivability, lethality and resilience to combat stress.

During the course students will receive lessons to develop individual skills and drills with both pistol and carbine that relate to combat shooting competencies. Students will be assessed throughout the course in their ability to apply the points of performance taught during live fire assessments. These assessments have been developed to evaluate critical thinking skills and decisions making under stress, and the ability to demonstrate combat marksmanship and good combat behaviors that increase lethality and survivability.
