If the group is outside of the zero circle the shooter gets 1 correction and fire additional 3 round group to confirm zero. Pass or Fail\nSkills Demonstration – Starting with 2 magazines with 15 rounds in each the student on command will exit a patrol car with rifle and move to a position behind a barricade. On command\, the shooter will fire 3 rounds from the support shoulder from behind cover at TCQ target 15 yards away in 7 seconds\, perform an un-timed tactical reload behind cover. Then on command will fire 3 rounds on same target from the strong side in 5 seconds. Place rifle on safe.\nMoving across the range to a second barricade the student will take up a kneeling position utilizing cover and on command fire 6 rounds on TCQ target 25 yards down range in 10 seconds.

It is yours or departments option of which you use. However\, you must pass the pre-test (described above) and the final live fire test to graduate from this course.\nThis is not a participation pass course. Certification is awarded based upon daily evaluations of progress\, a written outline and verbal presentation of a topic\, written test\, and qualification course of fire.\nMinimum equipment requirements: AR15 weapon\, 3 magazines\, cleaning equipment (don’t forget the lube)\, shooting mat if desired\, duty belt with pistol and 3 magazines\, BODY ARMOR REQUIRED ON THE RANGE\, hat\, eye protection\, ear puffs/plugs (muffs tend to interfere with cheek weld on the stock)\, laptop computer with 4 GB thumb drive as all information is presented in digital format. 1000 rounds of .223 or 5.56 ball ammunition.  100 rounds of pistol ammunition. \nCourse Instructors: Chris VanHorn & Chris Jaime\, Certified Firearms/Patrol Rifle Instructors \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nCourse Location:  Delta Community College\, 1961 Delta Rd.

SUMMARY:Legally Justified But Was it Avoidable - THIS CLASS IS POSTPONED TILL FALL
DESCRIPTION:THIS CLASS IS POSTPONED TILL FALL \nA crucial question at the core of every use of force incident is this:  \nWas it avoidable? This course helps you make that decision. \n  \nThe 1989 the Graham v. Connor case established that the moment an officer uses force is all that matters when determining if it was objectively reasonable. Further it determined that the moment could not be judged “with the 20/20 vision of hindsight.” In other words\, how that moment came to be matters not\, only what was happening during it. \nThat said\, this legal doctrine does not (and should not) preclude officers\, trainers and supervisors from examining cases with that 20/20 vision. With a goal of avoiding the avoidable\, we should look backward from the moment force was used and honestly assess whether the officer\, by action or lack of action\, contributed to its ultimate need. \nLegally Justified; But Was it Avoidable analyzes dozens of recent use of force videos and focuses on the totality of the interaction. We dissect the behavior of the offender and more importantly\, the thoughts and behavioral processes of the officer(s) involved. Specifically\, we consider if poor or ill-advised tactics\, ineffective communication\, a lack of personal control and/or a misunderstanding of acute stress led the officer(s) to escalate the event unintentionally and unconsciously. \nIn this course we will discuss:  \n\nForce: Can it be avoided? How? Can it be?\nPowerful research: how stress breaks down your ability to process information\nHandling pressure at the pivotal moment\nDid poor tactics contribute to the need to shoot?\nDon’t throw fuel on the fire! Controlling the inner “idiot”\nThe overall goal and how stress diverts from that mission\nSlowing things down can be your most powerful tactic\nA hard look at the reason mistakes are being made\nCognitive deterioration leads to “Decision Decline”\nAvoiding Behavioral and Content Loops\nThe Power of Mid-Event Disengagement\n\n  \nDate:               March 10\, 2021                   Time: 8am – 5pm \nLocation:         Delta College\, 1961 Delta Road\, Room G-160 \n                        University Center\, MI 48710 (GPS users may want to use Bay City)                                                 \nCost:                LEORTC licensed members-prepaid \n                        Delta Members – $165       \n                        All others-$195 \nClick HERE to Register \nDelta College Consortium members register at www.delta.edu/policeacademy or call (989) 686-9176

SUMMARY:HFRG/PPCT Defensive Tactics Instructor Course
DESCRIPTION:Human Factor Research Group (HFRG) formerly known as Pressure Point Control Tactics (PPCT) \nDefensive Tactics Instructor Course \nThe HFRG Defensive Tactics System is the first subject control system developed through tactical\, legal and medical research. Tactically\, the system addresses the most common types of resistance that officers may encounter\, allowing the instructor to maximize training on job related techniques. Legally\, the HFRG System teaches a simple use of force continuum that clarifies the appropriate force level for every level of resistance. Medical research was conducted on every HFRG technique to refine technique efficiency and to ensure the medical implications were proportional to the level of resistance.  The force continuum concept\, proper moves\, take-downs\, control points\, striking points and weapons retention will be included. The administrative and course reporting duties of the instructor will also be covered. \nCourse Location:  Delta College Main Campus\, Room TBA \nCourse Fee:\nLEORTC Licensed Personnel: Prepaid\, limited seating\nDelta College Consortium Members: $350.00 per person\nNon-Consortium: $525.00 per person \nCourse Instructor: Kevin Rize \nRequired Equipment:  Loose athletic wear\, duty belt (no firearms)\, handcuffs \nRegistration Deadline:  December 19\, 2019 \nClick HERE to Register \n  \n
