HOST THIS TRAINING

The OTOA does not teach one specific “Tactic.” The OTOA instructors teach “Principles.”

  • The OTOA response protocols are built around basic principles.
  • Violation of basic principles develops into poor tactics.
  • The applications of fundamental principles lead to safer tactics.

This course will cover sustainment, training, documentation, gear selection, and effectively showcasing your sniper team's capabilities for various missions.

The curriculum includes:

  • The Police Sniper's mission
  • Selection process for potential snipers
  • Training programs
  • Pre-planned operations planning
