Students will be taught tactical movement within a home or other structures, then

integrate that new skill with the computer simulator. An inert laser-enabled, recoiling

inert handgun will be used. Scenarios will include multiple “shoot/don’t shoot”

scenarios on a video screen. The student’s shots are recorded and reviewed during an

after-action critique following each scenario. Instructors can vary the outcomes of the

scenarios based on the student’s behavior. This training is one of the most realistic

methods of testing a student’s knowledge of use of force and how they perform under

stress. Prerequisite For Gun Range Live-Fire Portion of Training

Please Note: The live-firearm portion of the course is dependent upon winter cold

weather conditions. If the temperatures are not favorable or safe for shooting, then the

indoor computer simulator will be used
