This 2-day immersive instructor course is built specifically for patrol officers and first responders who face real-world violence from behind the wheel to the street. Focused on gunfighting from compromised positions, confined spaces, and high-stress situations, this course prepares officers to dominate threats in and around their patrol vehicle—and beyond.

Grounded in the realities of modern patrol work and backed by case studies, body cam footage, and real-world after-action reviews, students will learn to fight from seated positions, bail out under fire, move with purpose, and make rapid, confident decisions under pressure.

Whether ambushed in your cruiser, drawing on a traffic stop, or engaging threats while on foot in tight urban terrain, this course delivers the mindset, mechanics, and movement skills required to survive and win the fight.
