This hands-on course is designed to give patrol officers the basics skills they need to clear structures. Patrol officers are routinely called upon to enter homes to execute search warrants, conduct welfare checks, investigate crimes in progress, respond to emergencies and to investigate alarm activations, to name only a few. Unfortunately, many officers don’t possess the basic tactical skills they need to maximize their safety. To often we hear of officers being shot or ambushed when entering homes or buildings. Our goal is to provide patrol officers with a solid tactical foundation so they can properly and safely enter and clear structures.
