Course Overview
The aim of this course is to provide law enforcement members with an integrated close quarter defensive capability that incorporates lethal and non-lethal use of force responses in a seamless manner. This is a practically orientated, skills-intensive weapon handling and integrated defensive tactics course for general duty law enforcement officers, utilizing a system which combines combative techniques and use of weapons. This is termed "force integrated tactical training" (FITT). Participants will undergo their department's/agency's/force's course of fire qualification and achieve a marksman grading for successful course completion. Further evaluation will be achieved through daily revision, practical exercises, and operational.
