Police snipers hold an integral position within the tactical team structure. They provide real-time information, protective overwatch, and the ability to resolve a critical incident with one, well-placed shot. They represent the surgical arm of any special operations team, and like any other surgeon, they require specialized training in order to excel at their profession.
This course will provide a foundation and starting point for police sniper training and deployment.
Topics covered in this course will include, but are not limited to; rifle nomenclature, role of the sniper/observer, rifle and range safety, training documentation, fundamentals of marksmanship, observation and reporting, ballistics, individual movement skills, camouflage and concealment, hide construction and management, use of force as it applies to the sniper, weapons maintenance, and post incident debrief and documentation.
In addition to the topics listed above, we will be reviewing and debriefing various applicable sniper case studies.
