3-day Vehicle Counter Ambush and Maneuvers Course

Tactical Options Vehicle Counter Ambush and Maneuvers Course is a 30-hour program designed to advance an LEO on critical skillsets requiring extreme violence in order to stop unsuspecting ambush-type threats. LEOs throughout the USA are increasingly becoming exposed to unexpected threats whose only intention is to kill LEOs or cause public atrocities. The requirement to combat threats by training that exposes principles, fundamentals, and efficiency techniques in deadly street encounters is immediate. An officer must know how and be prepared to reduce unsuspecting/unanticipated threats in aggressive and accountable means to ensure survivability. 

Students will go through progressive and safe building stages that will increase knowledge and skills on everyday readiness. Students will develop and execute capabilities to manipulate and engage targets in confined spaces of vehicles, perform various maneuvers on a series of threat contingencies, and know how to maximize usage of cover in immediate close deadly street encounters. Students will leave with enhanced vehicle/barricade knowledge on offensive and defensive tactics, situational assessment and execution, ballistic successes and where the failures are for vehicle penetration with carbine and pistol, communication and counter-maneuver tactics with multiple officers. Skillsets and tactics will be validated through multiple safe live fire stages. Officers will leave with elevated confidence and skills that maximize mental readiness for everyday unknowns. This program enforces the safety and accountability of all actions. Officers will be developed through various building phases of crawl, walk, and run for Officers to understand and execute the standards taught and enforced. 

* Restricted to LE and MIL only
