Patrol Shotgun Development
Chas Clements
Phoenix Arizona Police Department – Firearms Training Unit

The pump-action shotgun is the most complex and dangerous weapon system patrol officers have, and often the shotgun’s capabilities are misunderstood. The shotgun uses different types of ammunition and the operator must be proficient in all the different types of manipulations, making the shotgun more difficult to master than the handgun and rifle. However, when the shotgun is in the hands of a proficient operator it can be a very useful tool in patrol. The 8-hour course will cover instructional techniques for empty gun loading, tactical loading, transition to handgun, slug round capabilities, buckshot capabilities, buckshot spread pattern test, various select round drills, and shooting while moving.

Instructor – Chas Clements has been a Phoenix Police Officer since 1995. Chas has been a full-time Firearms Instructor assigned to the Firearms Training Unit at the Arizona Law Enforcement Academy (ALEA) since March 2001. Chas’ experience with the shotgun began in the police academy. Since then Chas has been a shotgun operator in his various assignments within the Phoenix Police Department. Chas has also attended his department’s Special Assignment Unit (SWAT) shotgun certification course. Chas is one of the lead shotgun instructors for the Phoenix Police Department and a certified Remington armorer.

Bring: Duty shotgun, Duty belt, Duty handgun w/ magazines, Body armor (optional but highly recommended), 50 rounds of buckshot, 80 rounds of slugs, 200 rounds of birdshot, 100 rounds of handgun ammunition.

Close Quarters Shooting
Sgt. Michial Dunlap
Amarillo, Texas Police Department

Every police officers knows that in our job, we must get up close and personal with real and dangerous people. This goes against everything we are taught about survival in combat situations. Still we cannot keep the distance most of us want to be safe. That is why we need to be able to shoot fast and accurately in close quarters. This course will show shooters how to draw, mount, and fire the weapon in very close situations and how to survive deadly encounters in the street distances we encounter in real life.

Instructor – Sgt. Michial Dunlap is a 27 year veteran of the Amarillo Police Department where he has been the range master and lead firearms instructor for the past 13 years.
