The classroom instruction is augmented with training in our use of force simulator. Students are confronted with realistic, real-life scenarios. The student volunteers will need to decide to shoot/don’t shoot. If ‘shoot’, they will then need to deploy and fire their firearm at the target. The class then reviews the results of the encounter. The class will see first hand how the speed of encounters and effects of stress impact performance. This is a unique experience and students leave the class with a different perspective than prior to taking the class.
There are no prerequisites. Students must be 21 years old or older or be within 30 days of their 21st birthday.
