Ed Monk: Active Shooter Threat Response (GTFIT)

This 2-day class will improve the student’s mental & physical abilities to quickly identify and stop an Active Shooter.  Classroom portions will cover a study of many Active Shooters, their attacks, lessons learned from successful and failed responses, and the absolute importance of TIME.  Topics also include mental preparation, gear, skills, tactics, fratricide, options for organizations and individuals, and other considerations. 

Live-fire range training is progressive and includes assessment of skills and accuracy, shooting accurately while advancing, and scenarios stressing speed and 100% accuracy. Scenarios will use 3D and photo targets.
