The Firearms Instructor Course is an integrated course designed to provide
new firearms instructors with all components necessary to conduct safe,
reasonable, and prudent firearms training, building the bridge to actual
operations. The overall goal of this course is to remove the disconnect
between range training, qualification and real life requirements.
Upon completion of this course, the instructor candidate will possess all of
the tools necessary either to establish a new firearms training program or
enhance an existing one. Any changes or enhancements to a firearms
training program should be adopted after presentation to and review by agency
officials, not at the firearms instructor's discretion.
Some enhancements that this program provides include:
- Firearms manipulation practices and tests for both classroom and live
range
- Manual including:
- Safety, security, and sanitation standards and practices
- Range management and design
- Theory of progressively phased firearms training from basic to
preparation for actual situational firearms use
- Coordination and Analysis Tables to provide quick analysis of all
firearms-related actions performed, rounds expended, forced
manipulations, positions, conditions and tactics practiced
- Basic and specific developmental courses of fire
- Design of firearms simulations using simulated ammunition
- Integration of firearms carrying and use with job related tasks,
individual and team movement tactics, and other available use of force
modes and methods
- Separate testing and qualification instruments for range, simulation,
and firearms manipulation
- An overview of ballistics: internal, external, and terminal
- Instructional theory for skills to be used in confusing and
quickly changing situations
