The U.S. Small Arms Training School gives our commitment to the law enforcement community to provide the highest quality, most up-to-date, cost effective, and comprehensive law enforcement firearm instructor training available. Our programs expose every student to a broad base of techniques, tactics, teaching methodologies, and technical knowledge in order to develop the skills required to effectively perform his or her role as a firearm instructor at the agency and/or academy level.
The law enforcement firearm instructor's job is to TEACH their officers how to be safe, effective, and timely in the use of their firearms and tactics, and to WIN the lethal encounter. Our programs provide the hands-on training to help you teach your officers to WIN. The U.S. Small Arms Training School Law Enforcement Firearm Instructor Schools develop and enhance both instructor skills and firearm handling skills of all students so they can effectively teach their officers to win lethal encounters.
These schools are intended for public and private law enforcement officers and military personnel who are currently assigned, or about to be assigned, duties as law enforcement firearm instructors.
The curriculum is designed to prepare students to develop and conduct safe, effective, reality-based and agency-related firearm training. Classroom instruction and practical exercises on the range provide a model for students to use in building their own agency programs. In addition, the school will enhance each student's firearm knowledge and handling skills.
All classes and range exercises are conducted at the instructor level, with students conducting many of the range exercises to gain experience. Students are exposed to a wide variety of shooting techniques, training methods, and tactical philosophies, which allows them to choose what best serves their students.
We deliver state-of-the-art training with completely rewritten and updated student manuals covering the classroom and range work, presented in an indexed, comprehensive, reference guide format. We provide each student with an extensive student manual, not just an outline.
Our schools are week-long programs designed to stand alone, and may be presented separately or combined to meet regional or state mandates.
Our schools are cost-effective and are conducted throughout the United States.
Our schools are designed to train and prepare the law enforcement officer to be a firearm instructor.
Our schools ARE NOT shooting schools and are not designed to teach officers how to shoot. Students who attend
our firearm instructor development schools are expected to have a basic knowledge of the law enforcement firearms used and be able to safely and accurately use them. Without this basic background, students may find difficulty keeping pace with the instruction, practical exercises, and successful completion of the proficiency assessments. We expect all students to demonstrate safe gun handling at all times and be able to shoot consistent six-inch groups with a handgun at 15 yards upon arrival at the school. Students must be physically capable of quickly and safely assuming the standing, kneeling, sitting, and prone positions, maintaining them for a period of time, and safely recovering from them without assistance. The ability to field strip and reassemble the duty firearm is a must as well.
Officers attending any of our schools should have their agency's authorized factory-trained armorer conduct a technical inspection of the firearms being brought to the school to ensure they are safe to fire, functioning reliably, and that the sight systems are solidly attached. Students should check the condition of ALL equipment they will be bringing to the school. The U.S. Small Arms Training School provides no personnel or facilities to repair firearms on-site.
