COURSE SUMMARY
The police sniper is possibly the most important and misused element of the tactical team. The success or failure of the sniper program rests heavily on their command personnel. They are the people who will make the crucial decisions about selecting, equipping, training and employing snipers in critical incidents. However, they cannot be expected to make knowledgeable decisions without a thorough understanding of the police sniper, his function, his needs, his capabilities and his limitations. This two-day course is designed to educate the SWAT supervisor charged with the responsibility of establishing and utilizing a sniper program. It will give the supervisor the information needed to make the program successful and effective. Content includes establishing a program, writing policies, buying equipment, organizing and documenting training, current tactics, legal issues, media relations, and relevant case studies.
This course will cover:
- The mission of the police sniper
- Selection of personnel
- Equipment needs
- Establishing a training program
- Developing an SOP
- Green lights and deadly force issues
- Liability protections
- Sniper tactics and mission planning
- Non-traditional roles for sniper use
- Case studies and horror stories.
