5-Day SWAT Team Tactics
Cost – $997 per person
Description:
The importance of preparing for the type of dynamic, quickly changing, worse-case scenario that special operations officers frequently encounter cannot be overstated.

It is because of this that the SWAT Team Tactics course includes extensive force-on-force drilling, live-fire drilling, tactical countermeasures, and several field training exercises with actors, pyro-technics, and projectile training weapons designed to simulate a real-life scenario and to increase the proficiency level of the participant.
