SWAT Training - Make The Most

There are a lot of trainers who are very good at relaying information to their students and laying a solid foundation for success when those Operators encounter similar situations on the street.

One aspect of training that is often overlooked is setting your scenarios to specifically identify a weakness in team with the goal of improving on that weakness.

Here is an example of what I mean:

When I am teaching an Active Shooter course it is critical to ensure some aspects of a response occur without even thinking.

Communication is vital to an effective intervention and often due to the confusion it can be the first thing to go. When you create a scenario, do so in a manner that introduces challenges to communication such as loud ambient noise and situations which may cause the team to split and communicate effectively to link up again.

SWAT Training is often about communication, from the Operator with boots on the Ground to the Incident Commander at the CP.

Take the opportunity to identify a weakness in your response as a team and work on it.


Stay Safe, Stay Strong.
