What should you anticipate in the event of a fire. Learn how to determine whether a fire is small enough to extinguish with a fire extinguisher. Learn the difference between various types of fire extinguishers. Prevent additional fires through removing potential fuel. Participants will have the opportunity to use a fire extinguisher.

  Pistol optics: Red dots can be a significant advantage for new shooters as well as a major enhancement for the experienced marksman. However, they have their own limitations and learning curve, especially if the shooter wants to exceed plinking and look at serious defensive situations. 
  
  This class will examine the hardware, but will spend most of its time looking at the software: the methods of use.  We will establish zero, look at rapid dot acquisition, move from an iron “front sight” focus into a more practical threat focus, study manipulations and more.
  
  Requirements:Practical Pistol/AZCSN Armed Guard, or the approval of the instructor. AZCSN Intermediate Pistol strongly recommended.  Duty pistol with red dot (limited rentals available), 3 magazines minimum, 300 rounds of training ammunition PLUS 25 ROUNDS CARRY AMMUNITION.

  With the increasing cultural shift of intolerance towards Christian beliefs, Christians, and places of worship, it is imperative to be prepared to address the variety of safety issues that comes with this intolerance.

  Practical carbine examines the use of the carbine in an urban/home environment. While focusing on the AR platform, other weapons such as the AK and various bullpups are also welcome. We will be working to achieve quick hits on silhouette targets at home and parking lot distances. While useful equipment add-ons will be discussed, this is primarily a skills-oriented course.

  YOUR RIFLE SHOULD BE ZEROED PRIOR TO ARRIVAL. WE WILL CONFIRM AND REFINE ZEROES, BUT THE SCOPE OF THE COURSE DOES NOT PERMIT DEVELOPMENT OF ZERO FROM SCRATCH.

  Needed Equipment:

  *Rifle, zeroed at 50 yards. We will confirm zero/zero as needed, but drills are more profitable tools.

  *Red dot, LVPO, or similar optics are permitted but not required.
  

  *Sling, ideally 2-point

  *Minimum of 3x 20- or 30- round magazines

  *Method of carrying 3 magazines on one's person. Pockets are acceptable.

  *Minimum of 350 rounds range ammunition. (NO M885/SS109/”Green Tip”/7N6 or similar penetrator ammunition permitted)

  *Pistol with holster, 3 magazines, and 50 rounds of range ammunition. Appendix is acceptable, but is going to be uncomfortable. SERPA holsters are PROHIBITED.

  *Knee/elbow pads as desired.

  *Shooting mat. A Harbor Freight moving blanket is acceptable—the ground is going to be cold.

  *Clothing and personal items suitable for the weather.

  *The usual eye/ear protection and other range gear.

• Realistic De-Escalation

  Realistic De-Escalation thoroughly dissects the complex concept of “de-escalation” and the many elements in determining its feasibility or effectiveness in a variety of encounter types. This deeper knowledge of de-escalation is valuable to both security officers and supervisors called in to review force events after the fact. All these parties will need to determine to what extent using de-escalation techniques is feasible in specific high-pressure and rapidly unfolding encounters.

  Participants in the course will learn concepts and methods that support de-escalation efforts when personal connections can be made between officers and subjects. These attendees will be given knowledge regarding ways to help people in a state of mental health crisis, or whose perception of reality is altered. Officers will be able to better manage human beings with better skills around establishing contact, building rapport and gaining influence to achieve police objectives.

  This month we will focus on Liability Concerns.

  When talking about financial liabilities, we usually look at liabilities vs. assets. Like any other aspect of operations, church safety/security teams, regardless of their hearts and commitment, can be exposed to liability issues. One of the biggest assets any church has is its name reputation. 

  This course explores the potential organizational and individual liability related to safety ministry operations. Topics will include vicarious, premisses, supervision, training and other forms of liability. A variety of mitigation strategies will be explored.

  A two-day, 20-hour immersion course in rules of engagement for armed law-abiding private citizens, emphasizing legal issues, tactical issues, and aftermath management. Topics will include interacting with suspects, witnesses, responding police officers…threat recognition and mind-set…management of social and psychological aftermath after having had to use lethal force in defense of self or others…and preparing beforehand for legal repercussions and minimizing exposure to them. Situations in the home, at the place of business, or “on the street” will all be covered.

  Due to the nature of our instruction, it is necessary to provide us with one or more of the following with your registration:

  a. Current State Issued Permit to carry a concealed handgun

  b. Current FFL - Federal Firearms License

  c. Current FOID Card (Illinois Residents only)

  d. Current Police or Military ID

  e. Other current proof of clean criminal record. Most sheriff’s departments will run these for you at a nominal fee, done routinely in many occupations.

  What Do I bring? Note taking materials. Laptop recommended, (you may also want to bring an extension cord/power strip) Audio / video recording of the class is not allowed. If legal to do so, student may be armed in the classroom, but there will be no handling of firearms in the lecture setting. This class is lecture only, there will not be any live fire. Please bring your own lunches, snacks, beverages etc. We have a “working lunch” in all classes. Many of our facilities do not have a place close enough to purchase meals and get back in a reasonable amount of time. Also remember that many of our classes are 10 hour days so if you need another meal in that amount of time please bring it. Bring water, while we do provide water at all of our locations, it never hurts to bring some more. We teach in many locations and cannot guarantee the comfort of the chairs, if that might be an issue for you feel free to bring a cushion to sit on. All Classes meet at 8:30 AM on the First Day
