HOW IT WORKS & EXPECTED COURSES
LETC takes place over five days, with four days of full instruction. As we get closer to August we will notify attendees on how to enroll in your four subject-specific classes (one each day) from a multitude of options. These classes are taught by world-class instructors with backgrounds in every aspect of firearms training.
Aimpoint Professional Training will deliver an abbreviated version of their widely accepted ACRO transition course. Areas of concentration will be on: neutral presentation, asympathetic threat polarization drills, presentation efficiencies, problem solving drills learning and teaching strategies and friendly competition.
This class will focus on Advanced Training Techniques used to create highly skilled and competent shooters. This is a combination of Training Techniques and Philosophies combined from both the Law Enforcement Instructing and Competitive Shooting.
This class is designed for the instructor, but provides a great perspective for those who just want to learn how to improve their own skill.
In this class we will also explain why you don’t understand shooting if you are saying (or believe) any of the following incorrect/misleading shooting phrases:
Shooting on the reactive steel bobber range will push your skills to the limit. This course will demonstrate that a properly prepared officer can execute accurate shots in exceptionally short time windows, including less than one second. This course is not a“quick draw” session, but rather a session designed to reveal your real capabilities in drawing, accuracy, speed, and magazine changes. No matter how fast and accurate you are now, this course will make you better.
Instructor: Brian Hartman – Progressive Force Concepts
Training Details:
Vehicle CQB is an accelerated shooting class focused on positional shooting and a critical look at how we have historically fought in and around vehicles. Students will push the boundaries of “traditional” cover and concealment utilizing various cars and trucks in a true 3D environment. Drills will incorporate critical weapon employment while engaging threats in, around, from, over and under vehicles with a heavy emphasis on problem solving. Live ballistic demos with a variety of ammunition will be conducted as the class explores ballistic deflection, deformation, penetration and terminal effect in direct correlation to various vehicle mediums. Both days of this course will be long days, so come prepared.

Low-Light Law Enforcement Gunfighter Pistol is a program designed from having viewed the data surrounding law enforcement deadly force engagements. The techniques, tactics and procedures advocated for, are based on principles that stem from the utilization of a pistol in defense of human life during diminished lighting conditions. Inside the shoot house we will cover proper lighting and searching techniques as well as proper identification of threats especially in deep angles of exposure where traditional techniques are failing us.
Selecting the right equipment for you job is critical and considerations should be given to the modern advancements in lights that have occurred in the last 5 years. These advantages will be discussed as well as how to develop a course of action for your department to acquire, equip and train your officers in a way that makes it difficult for administrators to turn you down.
