See Upcoming CoursesThe Basic Special Weapons and Tactics course combines classroom lecture, practice sessions, range firing drills, and practical scenario training that encompasses the skills that an entry level Special Response Team member needs to be a productive SWAT officer. Students will practice entering, searching and clearing a variety of structures; shooting their weapon systems utilizing different positions, targets, and/or other conditions; and exploring high-risk tactical response options.
As in any law enforcement or military operation the entry that takes place in a confined space must be planned and executed with much timing and precision. The principles and fundamentals of room clearing must be closely observed during this type of operation in order for it to be successful. Students will learn actions at the point of entry (multiple entry points), movement into the room or structure, and domination and control of the room or structure while taking persons under control or eliminating threats. Specifically this course covers; Planning, route selection, the stack and individual responsibilities, mechanical/manual breaching, room clearing , stairways/hallways, building clearing operations, advanced subject control techniques, hostage rescue techniques, barricaded gunmen procedures, vehicle take downs, advanced combat shooting techniques with the handgun and carbine.
Our training program can be delivered in either a three (3) to five (5) day block. This course is for Law Enforcement special operations, such as SWAT or fugitive apprehension teams. The manufacturing of Methamphetamine is at an all-time high across the United States, especially in remote areas that have limited access. More and more violent criminals have been recorded having escape routes leading to rural areas that have caches of weapons, food, and fighting positions. Secluded areas of operation that can only be accessed by foot or by water can pose a unique challenge. Our instructors will relay first hand Law Enforcement and Military Special Operations experience gleaned from real world operations, teaching Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures that will enhance your teams’ operational capabilities.
Plain clothes and undercover agents are placed into high risk operations dealing with intense, uncertain, and rapidly evolving situations. Our training program is designed to cover the skills and tactics to increase the chance of winning a conflict for a newly assigned undercover or plain clothes agent. We offer a comprehensive program and training curriculum that incorporates lessons learned from numerous plain clothes and undercover operations, giving the most recent and realistic training experience possible.
Often times in the “Tactical” community breaching is considered an afterthought. Most teams supply the “new guy” with the ram. It’s thought of as heavy, cumbersome and archaic. Some consider it a “starter” position within team. At AGS we believe one of the cornerstones of an effective LE Special Operations Unit is its ability to reduce it’s time on target, and make entry into a variety of structures as quickly and safely as possible. Breaching is a vital capability within your team and should be tasked to mature and experienced decision makers.
Our breaching course combines classroom lecture, hands on practice sessions, and practical scenario training that encompass the skills a Special Response Team member needs to be a productive breaching team member. This course stresses operational safety standards and protocol, breaching reconnaissance, identification of fortifications and recognition of locking mechanisms. Students will practice a variety of breaching techniques to include, ramming doors, halligan bar applications, sledge hammers, the use of window keys for “rake and break/port and cover” techniques, thermal cutting, applications for a quickie saw, and shotgun breaching. Techniques in this course will also be performed during night time (low light) hours.
AGS recognizes more and more Law Enforcement and LE specialty units are being tasked with close protection. SWAT teams all across the country have “Executive Protection” listed in their SOP’s as a capability, but rarely if ever receive close protection training. Our goal is to bridge that gap with our program that is designed to cover the skills and procedures required to provide effective close protection. With civil unrest happening more and more in our communities, Law Enforcement are being asked to provide various levels of protection for city officials, executives, visiting foreign government officials, celebrities and other target groups who may be at risk. We offer a program and training curriculum that incorporates how Law Enforcement agencies can both supplement protection details that visit their communities, as well as organize a close protection detail as requested by their agencies executives.
Mr. Hillis quickly put the branch staff at ease with his comfortable presentation style which allowed for a relaxed discussion about what could be a volatile topic.
