Presented by Snipercraft in partnership with the OTOA, combining expertise for unmatched training excellence
The police sniper must be a dedicated student of their craft, constantly striving to improve their knowledge and skills. Gone are the days when a police officer could simply be handed a rifle, taught to shoot bullseyes, and labeled a "marksman." A true police sniper must be continually challenged to excel in their field. They must develop skills that prepare them mentally and physically for the demands of their role. Exposure to new ideas, tactics, and techniques is essential, as is an understanding of real-world experiences from other snipers.
This class provides access to all of that and more. The Police Sniper - Advanced Skills and Tactics Course course is designed to take participants to "the next step" in their sniping education. This class builds upon the foundation established in the "Basic" course.

- Advanced shooting positions and techniques
