Another exciting week!
On Monday, we were in the classroom and learned about
Vehicle Contacts (Traffic stops) and Rapid Emergency Deployment (how to react
in case of for example, active shooter scenario). It appears to be similar to
building searches; however, it is a lot faster and not as methodical. In the
event of an active shooter, our safety is secondary to the preservation of
life.
On Wednesday and Friday, we practiced what we had learned in
the classroom on Monday and put our skills to the test.
For Thursday, we spent the entire day at the range. For the
first time, we were all there together instead of being separated into our
respective squads. First, we completed another firearms course before we split
up and did a variety of scenarios. At the first station, we continued our
training by shooting while moving and were also faced with several shoot/no
shoot situations. Afterwards, we trained how to shoot while seated inside a
vehicle and how to exit a vehicle as well as engage a threat that was a little
further away. Lastly, we dueled against each other for bragging rights on the
tactical range with several steel target courses. All in all, it was an
exciting and fun week. I took several pictures this week for everyone to enjoy.
Bring on week 15. Only two months to go until graduation.
