A tactics course for today's modern SWAT sniper. The purpose of this 16-hour program is to advance tactical deployment skills for the SWAT sniper, when using a motor vehicle for high risk surveillance. Expert practitioners from the field of law enforcement designed the tactics, techniques and procedures contained in this lesson. The primary focus of SEND IT is to provide the SWAT sniper with practical live-fire capabilities using a motor vehicle as an unconventional shooting platform in the preparation for high-risk surveillance, including but not limited to: patrol operations, warrant service, hostage rescue, or barricaded gunman incidents. SEND IT starts in a classroom environment, transitions to off range surveillance exercises and culminates into a progressive time constrained live-fire range exercise to speed decision making, refine mental recognition and improve accuracy. All tactical scoped rifles and magnified optics must be sighted in prior to class. SEND IT addresses the following topics: - Covert Vehicle Surveillance - Reconnaissance and Scouting - Vehicle Hides - Examination of Terminal Ballistics - Observation, Range Estimation and Memory Recall - Alternate Weapon Support Platforms - Tactical Marksmanship from In and Around a Motor Vehicle The sniper/observer is one of the most valuable assets of any law enforcement tactical team and is tasked with critical missions to ensure SWAT commanders have accurate and up-to-date information. The sniper/observer must demonstrate not only proficiency in said weapons system but also the mental composure in situations that are tense, uncertain and rapidly involving. SEND IT will challenge the sniper/observer to perform at higher than expected levels and will validate their role in a tactical team environment. This course will not only enhance the sniper/observer's individual field craft capacities, but the overall operational team tactics of their special unit.
