Characteristics of a Good Instructor

Whether you are just starting out as a law enforcement trainer or have been at it for some time, these are offered as humble suggestions for you to consider as you hold up your own instructor mirror to see how you measure up.

Words to the Wise

Using witty words as training tools.

Diversionary Device Training

If they aren't used properly, bad things may happen. A critical factor in preventing disaster is properly training for successful flashbang deployments.

COPSS in Class

Learning should be organized so concepts and techniques are presented in a "building block" fashion that allows for proper understanding.

Active Shooter Response Training

The potential for extremely bad things happening in your community's schools, office buildings or even churches puts active shooter response training at or near the top of our training needs.
