Active Threat Instructor COurse

The Active Threat Instructor is a 4-day class with live-fire, specifically designed to equip officers with the necessary skills and strategies to effectively respond to active threat incidents in various environments and teach the material back to their agency. We go beyond traditional active threat response training by offering tactics that are applicable in various scenarios and settings, ensuring officers are prepared to handle threats no matter the circumstances. By training officers to respond effectively in a variety of environments, from crowded areas to open-air venues and vehicles, the course addresses the evolving nature of threats and the need for adaptable responses.

The course begins with a brief lecture that highlights the distinctions between 88 Tactical’s Active Threat Interdiction strategy and traditional training approaches. Following the lecture, the course emphasizes hands-on instruction to ensure practical application of the tactics taught.

To enhance the realism of the training, the course incorporates multiple contact drills, force-on-force exercises, scenario simulations, post-engagement exercises, and optional live-fire range practice. Upon completing the course, students conduct peer teach-backs, and must pass practical exercises in order to receive instructor certification. Students will receive a manual with drills, lesson plans, and live-fire exercises.
