Basic SWAT is a Tactical Training Course. While the primary focus is on ‘SWAT” - the practical application for this training can be for any individual, team or element that must execute hazardous warrants, maintain an emergency perimeter (or containment of a critical incident), or for a Department that is interested in starting a SWAT team. This course is an intense 60 hours of training. While it is certainly not a gentlemen’s course, it is not designed as, nor intended to be, a “Selections Course” or a “Boot Camp” style school. Restricted to Law Enforcement, Military, Government, & Security Personnel.

Counter Paramilitary Operations is NOT a Boot-camp style course even though the topic’s and skills taught in this school are military in nature. The constant peril of well-armed and trained criminals (as found in the Active-shooter Incident, Dallas Texas, July 2016 - Baton Rouge La. Shooting, July 2016 - San Bernardino Terrorist Attack. December 2015 - Alexandria La. Wise Street Shootout, September 2003 - North Hollywood Shootout, February 1997) has forced American Law Enforcement to reevaluate its ability to address these new threats. This highly popular course is intended for special operations personnel assigned to perform in a Tactical/SWAT unit role. While the subjects being taught are military/combat oriented; the information, techniques and tactics do not supplant Federal and State law, and/or departmental policy. Physically demanding, this course is designed to negate the tactics being used against us; therefore, the student will be exposed to an in-depth view of infantry/Special Forces strategies, unit organization, concepts and tactics. Restricted to Law Enforcement, Military, Government, & Security Personnel. 

October 14-18 | Waco, Texas | Cost: $600, Optional Housing $150

High-Risk Warrant course is dedicated to teaching the skills and techniques needed for warrant service. This 40-hour training teaches SWAT-like techniques and skills; however, it should not be construed as a SWAT school. The course is best suited for SWAT, Warrant Containment Teams, as well as Narcotics and Fugitive Apprehension Teams, but any officer can attend this course, which can best be described as an entry school. The training includes intense practical exercises with a focus on safe planning and execution of high threat-level apprehensions. Students will also undergo repetition on entries into buildings, work on the skills needed to perform apprehensions of suspects in an open area, and achieve other learning objectives. Restricted to Law Enforcement, Military, Government, & Security Personnel.
