Course Overview
Training is structured to provide classroom and hands-on training. Mornings are devoted to classroom instruction, which is reinforced with practical range application in the afternoon. The first day covers fundamentals and individual skills; the second day addresses advanced skills such as officer-down rescues. The third day will be devoted to the students doing presentations in the classroom and on the range. A Tactical Shield Instructor's field manual will be provided for each student; students must provide their own ammunition. Students must pass a practical firearms qualification course and successfully complete a written examination. Students will be evaluated on their knowledge of the topic, instructional skills and safety considerations.
