OVERVIEW:

The police sniper needs to be a student of his art, always seeking to improve his knowledge and skills.  Gone are the days when a police officer can be handed a rifle, taught to shoot bullseyes and be designated “marksman.”  The true police sniper needs to be continually challenged to excel at his trade.  He needs to know skills that will prepare him mentally and physically for his job in the field.  He needs to be exposed to new ideas, tactics and techniques.  He needs to learn what is happening to other snipers in the “real world.”  This class will give him access to all of those things and more.  This is a skills enhancement course.  Here, he will be exposed to “the next step” in his sniping education. This class picks up where “Basic” left off.

THIS COURSE WILL INCLUDE:

• High stress marksmanship
