Civilian Training Programs

We specialize in adapting law enforcement techniques for real-world civilian self-defense.
 

1. Tactical Home Defense

Your home is your sanctuary—learn how to protect it. This course adapts professional room-clearing techniques for the homeowner. You will learn how to navigate your house in low light, create defensive choke points, and communicate effectively with family members during a break-in.
 

2. Civilian Active Threat Response

In an unpredictable world, being prepared is the best insurance. Based on national standards, this training teaches you how to react during an active shooter event in public spaces like malls, churches, or workplaces. Learn the "Run, Hide, Fight" methodology with advanced tactical nuance.
 

3. Virtual Reality (VR) Scenarios

Experience the ultimate in judgment training. Our VR systems allow you to step into realistic scenarios—such as a parking lot mugging or a carjacking—without using live ammo. This builds your ability to spot danger early and make smart decisions under pressure.

​

4. Concealed Carry & Use of Force Law

Owning a firearm is a heavy responsibility. This course goes beyond marksmanship to cover the legal and ethical realities of using force. We teach you not just how to shoot, but when you are legally justified to do so, helping you avoid legal pitfalls.

​

5. Personal Protection (Non-Lethal)

Not every threat requires a firearm. We offer comprehensive training on non-lethal tools like pepper spray and personal tasers. Learn how to create distance, use verbal commands, and deploy non-lethal options to escape dangerous situations safely.
