This course was developed to assist experienced firearms instructors in training their department's patrol specialists in the use of the rifle/carbine. Through proper training and selection of equipment, police departments can utilize versatile police carbine/rifles to respond to immediate threats to life, which in the past required specialized units such as SWAT. Disturbing national trends indicate that offenders are relying on more advanced weaponry and firepower, leaving first responders over-matched and our communities increasingly vulnerable to threats to life and property. By having officers trained in the use of more accurate and powerful weaponry than standard police firearms, properly trained officers will have the skills, aptitudes, and training experience to respond to these violent calls. Many departments are acquiring rifle/carbines through commercial sources and the federal government is providing military M-16A1 rifles to local departments through the LESO 10-33 program. Rifle/carbine training will cover the following: COLT AR-15 .223/5.56 m/m caliber, COLT CAR-15 .223 or similar AR-15/M-16 type rifle/carbine systems. Other police patrol rifles such as the 9mm, RUGER MINI-14 .223 are acceptable for this course. No caliber larger than .223/5.56 m/m is allowed due to range restrictions. Officers are to bring the weaponry that their departments currently use. Topics for discussion include: - Mechanical evolution and rifle/carbine history - Disassembly, maintenance, and cleaning - Conversion of the M-16 to semi-automatic mode - Ballistics and ammo types - Range and ammo testing - Sight-in/trigger control techniques - Range management and safety - Live fire and marksmanship Required Equipment and information: - Duty handgun and duty belt - 100 rounds of handgun ammunition - AR-15/M-16/M-4 Rifle or Carbine (preferred), .223/5.56 m/m - 3 or more 30 round magazines - Magazine pouches/means to carry extra magazines - 1000 rounds of .223/5.56 m/m ammunition--factory ammo in either commercial or military configuration.
