Active Killer Interdiction

88 Tactical’s Active Killer Interdiction Course was designed to better prepare officers to respond to active killer incidents in a multitude of environments. Traditional active killer response courses are outdated and not easily adapted for use outside of school structures. Our students will be provided with proven strategies that will allow them to rapidly and effectively deal with threats in multiple environments, including crowded areas, open-air venues, vehicles, and indoor spaces. The tactics taught in this course are universal and scalable from individual response up to multiple teams working together. Better positioning allows for better decision-making, decreasing the risk of officers being forced into a shooting situation when none is required.

This course starts with a short lecture on how 88 Tactical’s Active Killer Interdiction strategy differs from traditional active killer response training, then transitions to hands-on instruction. This course teaches tactics to deal with threats at the first possible moment in any situation, at any time – even while the suspects are in flight or encountered at random.

The course ends with multiple contact drills, force-on-force, several scenarios, and post engagement exercises. The course utilizes dry practice, and force-on-force marked cartridges to maximize realism – no live fire.
