A 2-Day October 26-27, 2006 Ocean City, MD |
| Course Description:
Law enforcement officers routinely carry a smaller concealed handgun
for a wide variety of reasons. Ironically, few agencies offer any
specialized training in this area, leaving the officer at a serious
disadvantage. Merely qualifying for the record is hardly adequate. This block of instruction will explore deployment of the smaller concealed handgun, equipment issues, operator mindset, tactics and development of agency policy. Live fire drills will emphasize a quick response to one or more assailants in close proximity to the officer. Instructor Bio: Mike Boyle is a Captain with the NJ Division of Fish & Wildlife Bureau of Law Enforcement. With over 25 years experience as a firearms instructor, Mike is a Police Academy Instructor, Presenter and Assistant Police Academy Director, and currently serves on the Board of Directors of IALEFI. Student requirements: Small pistol or revolver with 150 rounds of ammunition Covering garments, and concealment holster. |
