LAW ENFORCEMENT COURSES Military Courses | Law Enforcement Courses OFFICER SURVIVAL There is no way to predict the future and the events a police officer may encounter are most-often sudden, violent and unexpected. These situations become very fluid and dynamic. Officers who have prepared themselves mentally and physically often hold the key to survival in that preparation. GTI's Officer Survival Course is three days, 24 hours in length. It's a unique mixture of lecture and Force of Force situations. GTI provides all equipment and converted training weapons. Officers only need BDU's, a duty holster and belt, eye and ear protection, their sidearm, 350 rounds of ammo, and a learning attitude. Often our survival hinges on our perception and reaction to those perceptions. When those reactions are calculated, well-conceived, and properly executed, the opportunity for success is greatly increased. When our reactions are based on false beliefs, television, motion picture fantasy or surprise, those opportunities to survive are greatly diminished. Officers who have found themselves in sudden and violent confrontations often remark how different they really are from what they expected them to be. This intensive three day (24hour) officer survival program will teach officers the all vital skill sets that are needed to survive and win sudden and violent encounters. Students will review several officer involved shootings and other critical incidents caught on tape. Throughout the three day course the students will be exposed to practical exercises designed to enhance decision making process and physical skills needed to deal with violent encounters. Officers will deploy various tools they commonly carry to react with various escalation and de-escalation of force. Students will make split second decisions and articulate their reactions. Training will occur in a variety of environments, including low light. New skills developed on the live fire range will be developed in practical exercises using force-on-force scenarios. Topics to be covered include: Braced Contact – Weapons Retention Arrest and Control Techniques Dealing with Multiple Suspects Edged weapon defense Operating in a Low Light Environment Fighting from a Patrol Vehicle Fighting from the Ground ballistic breaching and the use of exothermic torches. Students will receive daily written tests and will have a final graded exercise, to ensure that they have a firm grasp on the practical application of tactical breaching.
