Use Of Force

Highly violent incidents, including deliberate ambushes and attacks against law enforcement officers and citizens by offenders armed with long guns, have caused police agencies to make centerfire rifles and carbines standard patrol/emergency response equipment.  This intensive three-day course is designed to give patrol officers, firearms instructors, and special weapons users a solid foundation in and understanding of the tactical application of rifle/carbine systems in law enforcement activities.

This course provides prerequisite training needed for the state-certified NEMRT 40 Hour Police Rifle/Carbine Instructor program.  Officers who have attended previous rifle/carbine courses are encouraged to attend as an update and refresher.

Through classroom instruction and hands-on training, students will review:
- Deployment - Use of Force statutes and updated legal issues related to police use of firearms.
- Safe weapon handling, operation, and deployment in high-stress police field operations
- Care, cleaning, and maintenance of the firearm
- Disassembly, reassembly, and basic armorers' considerations
- Accessory equipment including optics, flash suppressors, and compensators
- Updated information on sound suppressors for SWAT and Tactical Officers
- External and terminal ballistics of the .223 (556 m/m), and pistol caliber rounds
- Selecting the types of bullet configurations that apply to different tactical situations.
- Position shooting including use of cover/concealment.
- Close-quarter shooting skills
- Tactical deployment issues of the rifle/carbine
 
Upon completion of this program, student officers will have been trained to employ the rifle/carbine safely and effectively in law enforcement applications.
