Instructors were obviously interested in teaching-not focused on personal criticism. Made teaching points of all negatives in positive fashion.Student in South Carolina (Level I Course)
I am really glad to see someone out there feel it's time to have standardized training in a subject that is going to keep our communities a little safer at the end of the day. Student in Alabama (Train-the-Trainer Course)
Great program overall. It is a complete training package ready to teach. I love the instructor course because it shows all aspects of the program and allows you to become familiar with it.Student in Mississippi (Train-the-Trainer Course)
I was apprehensive about this class. I am so glad I had the opportunity to take it. Thanks to every instructor. They offered help as needed and did not make me look bad in front of fellow officers. Student in Virginia (Level I Course)
The training is incredibly informative and hands-on. Particularly incorporating medical self aid into the active shooter training, for me, has been quite helpful. Student in New York (Level II Course)

Plain Clothes Response to Violent Encounters
This course is designed to provide officers with the knowledge, physical skills and mindset on how to respond to violent encounters, including active shooter situations, when armed but not in uniform.
