This course is designed to enhance the skills of law enforcement or SWAT officer in the art and science of tactical breaching.
In residential and commercial environments, students will be taught the most effective and valuable breaching techniques utilized by SWAT Teams and/or Task Forces.
Training topics will be taught by current FBI SWAT breachers: concepts and principles of breaching, reconnaissance, planning, deployment, safety considerations, equipment selection, and lessons learned.
There will be five hands-on stations consisting of ram/halligan, cut saw and chainsaw, window porting, exterior tactics/actions at the breach, and shotgun breaching. The training will conclude with a demonstration of the Lenco BearCat Hydraulic Ram Bar System.
