About this course

“The first and best victory is to conquer self.” —Plato

Course Overview
TVCLF Shoot PhotoTragically officers are being ambushed at record levels throughout the United States.  Ambush assaults on law enforcement have escalated by over 165% since 2016.  We have to teach our officers to recognize and overcome these threats.  The Police Counter Ambush Assault Course will challenge officers through force-on-force scenarios to overcome threats while deploying from a patrol vehicle, while seated inside a patrol vehicle, and while in close-quarters scenarios with other potential threats.  We have to be prepared to overcome and dominate these ambushes.  This course will dramatically increase the officer’s ability to win the assault and return home safely to their family.

What will the student learn?

  • Environment and bystander awareness (terrain concerns and escape avenues), controlling space.
  • How to escape from Ambush Positions.
  • Proper placement of violator(s) and backup units.
  • Case law pertinent to police use of force vehicle stops.

What will the student be required to do?

  • Make shoot or don’t shoot decisions while overcoming fatigue and a stressful training atmosphere.
  • Fight through being attacked by single and multiple opponents in a dynamic and realistic scenario for police officers.
  • In dynamic and realistic scenario-based training, officers will be subjected to fighting and shooting airsoft force-on-force drills.
  • Think outside the box and consider multiple threats at one time.  This training method increases the real-world scenario of continually evolving high-stress situations.
  • Accurately examine their mindset and identify areas where they have begun to lose ground physically and psychologically.  They will be pushed to their mental and physical limits.
  • Successfully address threat(s), gain compliance or control, and maintain situational awareness and mental clarity during these practical exams.
  • This course is a hands-on outdoor activity to keep the student engaged and interested in learning concepts to enhance their ability to identify the criminal element, quickly identify it, and be prepared if a lethal force encounter occurs.
