Now, take a long step forward in preparing your officers for the street
with training that will be a reality check for all involved.
The shooting will be from 15 yards and colser, and will concentrate on
building your weapon craft and significantly increasing your speed, while
immersing yourself in a new training dynamic.

Terror that is happening throughout the world. “The atmosphere created
by a terrorist act casts a greatly magnified shadow over society, far in
excess of its statistical risk to the individual.” This will

that they feel. “The knowledge that one is being manipulated-and
how this is being done-is itself a powerful weapon for countering such
manipulation."
