The police sniper needs to be a student of his art, always seeking to improve his knowledge and skills. Gone are the days when a police officer can be handed a rifle, taught to shoot bullseyes and be designated “marksman.” The true police sniper needs to be continually challenged to excel at his trade. He needs to know skills that will prepare him mentally and physically for his job in the field. He needs to be exposed to new ideas, tactics and techniques. He needs to learn what is happening to other snipers in the “real world.” This class will give him access to all of those things and more. This is a skills enhancement course. Here, he will be exposed to “the next step” in his sniping education. This class picks up where “Basic” left off.

This course is designed for law enforcement officers at all ranks who want to enhance their leadership skills and develop best practices for a successful career.
This course was born from a need I saw in our SWAT Sniper Supervisor course. I regularly saw officers who were promoted to leadership positions and told to figure it out on the job. I would not have time to properly work with these officers who wanted more knowledge in a course that was packed with training on building and utilizing a sniper team.

The police sniper is possibly the tactical team's most important and misused element. The success or failure of the sniper program rests heavily on its command personnel. They are the people who will make the crucial decisions about selecting, equipping, training, and employing snipers for critical incidents. However, they cannot be expected to make knowledgeable decisions without a thorough understanding of the police sniper's function, needs, and limitations. This course is designed to educate the SWAT supervisor charged with the responsibility of establishing and utilizing a sniper program and will give him the information he will need to make that program safe, successful, and effective.
