About this course

"Good tactics can save even the worst strategy.
Bad tactics will destroy even the best strategy."
-George S. Patton

Course Overview
Interdiction is widely taught across the country. Whether learning "The Drive" or employing a high volume of stops, various classes teach on this topic. However, the "tactics" to keep the interdiction officer safe are constantly overlooked or rarely highlighted. STOPS Criminal Interdiction Tactics is a training program that stresses proactive officers' safety, giving them a foundation for success in the interdiction world.

Pro Train's mission is to provide the best and most current tactical training to officers. We are constantly revising training areas that we notice are lacking focus in tactical procedures for officer safety. We have combined many tactics from our proven and nationally accredited STOPS course into this course's newest Interdiction training approach. Pro Train cadre had studied, attended, and applied many interdiction teachings from across the country into this new course. STOPS Tactical Criminal Interdiction results from seeing the lack of focused "tactical" training in interdiction stops. The STOPS Tactical Criminal Interdiction Course focuses on tactics the proactive officer should utilize when "seeking the criminal element" is the focus of traffic enforcement. We have developed a tactical course that breaks the stop/contact into three parts: the beginning, middle, and end of contact. Using these concentrated training areas, we can identify where tactics need to override habit, routine, and complacency. While taking drugs, guns, and criminals off our roads is pivotal to interdiction, it is more important to get home to loved ones at the end of the shift. This course gives an outline of practical and easy-to-implement tactics to employ when hunting down criminals in your jurisdiction. With a combination of classroom and outdoor instruction, this course will cover the rapid assessment needed to categorize a traffic stop properly. We will highlight several tactics taught in the STOPS program, including an in-depth breakdown of Unknown Risk Stops. Using these proven tactics can accentuate the ability to read verbal and non-verbal cues of criminal activity. While this is not a class covering specifics of a roadside interview or hidden compartments, it is an overview of what criminal interdiction is, where to employ it, and the differences between street and highway interdiction. Tactics taught here work in either application.

What will the student learn?

• Approach patterns on traffic stops with emphasis on passenger-side approach.
• Walk-Back and Walk-Thru patterns to use in stops deemed Unknown-Risk.
• How to determine between a Low-Risk and Unknown-Risk traffic stop.
• How to escape from Ambush Positions outlined in the classroom.
• How to safely search under consent and proper placement of violator(s) and back-up.
• Case law pertinent to stopping vehicles and then leading into a consensual or PC search.

What will the student be required to do?

• The student will learn from a structured PowerPoint in the classroom covering facts and outlines of tactics to be employed later in outdoor/field training. There will be a breakdown of several vital videos showing why these tactics are so necessary to successful interdiction.
• This course is a combination of classroom and outdoor activities to keep the student engaged and interested in learning concepts to enhance his/her ability to seek out the criminal element, quickly identify it, and be prepared if a lethal force encounter were to occur.

Course Breakdown

Course Intensity
The content and pace of this course will be challenging to most students. Some videos used in this course may shock those of a more sensitive conscious.

Physically Demanding
This course's style is a combination of classroom lectures and outdoor practical applications; the student must successfully demonstrate the ability to escape from ambush zones.

Mentally Challenging
Seeking out the criminal that has masked himself within the general innocent motoring public is not easy. Conducting rapid assessments of violators while also staying tactical is challenging and will be addressed throughout this training course. Students will analyze situations represented in videos and reach conclusions about safer tactics to use while conducting interdiction stops.

Core Building
Proactive officers engage in traffics stops daily. Now, more than ever, officers dealing with the public on traffic stops or other calls for service are under the microscope. Successful completion of this course will provide students with a foundation rooted in safe tactics and professionalism that will lead to successful interactions with criminals and the innocent motoring public.

A course instructed at the FBI Academy for many years to FBI Special Agents, by the legendary Frank White (DEA/Retired). Frank White will be the primary instructor for this challenging course. Learn more about Frank White at The White Report -- DEA Watch

This course was designed for Undercover Officers, but all police officers will benefit attending this close quarter battle course.

Our top training goal is to ensure that the officer when confronted in a violent encounter will be able to make better decisions faster, while at the same time acting decisively and effectively.

The officer must be able to think clearly under stress and act tactically within the context of extreme peril. Untrained officers oftentimes make disastrous tactical mistakes, display poor decision making and react too slowly in real world gun battles.

My team of instructors will provide the officer the wisdom of whether to engage, when to engage and how to engage. The officer will develop tactical wisdom which comes from actionable practice drills and mental rehearsal strategies coupled closely with use of force legal case doctrine. There are three distinct and equally important elements that will be taught to the officer, the struggle before the gunfight, the fight itself and the legal ramifications after the fight.

This is a physically and mentally challenging 3 day course of instruction that will teach officers Close Quarter Combat in the gym, on the firing range, and how to win the battle through superior mental mindset. Officers will be required to bring 1500 rounds of target ammunition for the close quarter live fire drills.

“Be extremely subtle, even to the point of formlessness. Be extremely mysterious, even to the point of soundlessness. Thereby, you can be the director of the opponent's fate.” - Sun Tzu

Course Overview

Ambush assaults on Law Enforcement have risen drastically in the last several years.  Ambush assaults are also related to Active Shooter incidents statistics, which show an even more significant increase in recorded incidents in the previous several years.  These stats are even more alarming when we consider the degree of injury and the total number of victims when the assailant has the advantage of choosing the location, terrain, timing, and weapon of choice for their attack.  (Insert actual stats if we have them).  

In our search for continuous development of the most advanced and cutting-edge training in law enforcement, we encountered this increased area of assault on officers. As we do with all of our training, we went directly to the officers involved, studied their incidents, and saw a need to develop a new course focusing on how to counter ambush-style assaults on law enforcement. Tactical Counter Ambush for Wooden Terrian (8hr)  is the first course derived from our findings.  

This course covers paramilitary and law enforcement tactics for identifying, reacting to, countering, engaging, and defeating threats. All the modules will enhance the officer's ability to perceive threats, evaluate vulnerabilities before they are exploited, and act as individuals or ad hoc teams under fire. 

Low-light training, both with visible light and night vision, is available with prior coordination.

What will the student learn?

• Introduction to terrain evaluation related to possible ambush.
• Threat assessment based on environmental concerns
• Movement and movement techniques in and through rough terrain.
• Communication skills based on the environment.
• React to Contact & Counter- Ambush drills.
• Tactical threat engagement techniques.
• Introduction to Patrolling techniques for ambush mindset.
• Employment of Patrol Rifle for Applied Marksmanship (Dry Fire).
• Report writing & courtroom testimony for ambush incidents
.

What will the student be required to do?

• Demonstrate an understanding of maneuver principles (classroom and practicals on terrain).
• Assess risks and threat cues by both persons and natural terrain.
• Demonstrate proficiency in coordinating movements with assigned communications equipment.
• Physically move using tactical individual movement techniques situations.
• Display proficiency in dry fire rifle shooting from field positions while standing, supported, kneeling, and prone.

Course Breakdown

Train Hard * Train to Win

Course Intensity
The content and pace of this course will be challenging for most students. Some content may shock those with a more sensitive conscience.

Physically Demanding
This course combines lectures, tabletop drills, and outdoor practical applications. The outdoor practicals require physical exertion while making fast movements across natural terrain. Students are required to run to their chosen cover/concealment location while being pushed mentally and physically. Outdoor training will take place even in inclement weather.

Mentally Challenging
The student will be challenged mentally to conduct rapid assessments of the environment and people while being required to move and remain physically tactical. This will be very challenging for some students who lack shooting skills while moving.

Core Building
They will leave with a superior skill set to identify potential threat indicators, react to the threat, and take back the tactical initiative to stop the threat and protect the public and each other! This revised mental and physical skill set gives the officer a tactical approach to their call responses. If the officer applies his newly learned tactics to his tour of duty, he will be a better lead for his shift and agency.

Student Take Away

• A tactical skill set needed for warrant service and unknown risk calls in rural terrain.
• Tactics, if implemented, will position officers for less risk of ambush when responding to calls in rural settings.
• Proven techniques to tactically counter ambush attempts and techniques to engage active shooter incidents with a defeat-the-threat mindset.
