3.5 Special Weapons and Tactics Training

Incidents involving hostage or barricaded suspects are occurring with increasing regularity. Not only do these incidents receive considerable media attention, but they can result in criticism and be quite damaging if perceived as being mishandled. The old adage, "damned if you do, and damned if you don't," has never been more applicable. In the majority of situations, the response made by local law enforcement officials will become the topic of court proceedings and the officers involved will be placed in the uncomfortable position of defending their actions.

In order to avoid this scenario, it is essential that all responding tactical team police officers have undergone intensive training and have a thorough understanding of the dynamics of hostage and barricade incidents. Without ongoing and progressive training, tactical team police officers can never hope to carry out their jobs in the most professional and efficient manner possible.

Training will cover the following subjects:

Shooting techniques (all weapon types)
CQB Coordination training

Spontaneous outbursts of dissatisfaction are manifested in a variety of forms including unlawful assemblies, strikes, picketing, civil disobedience, riots, arson, and looting.
