This course of instruction has been developed to provide law enforcement instructors and range staff with the tactics, techniques and procedures to safely set up a live fire shoot house and supervise students conducting live fire CQB training activities as part of an initial CQB training program or department CQB sustainment training.

Students will recieve instruction in current CQB Combat Shooting to ensure weapons are zeroed and individual training requirements are met and students are deemed safe and competent prior to moving to the shoot house. From there, our cadre will deliver lessons in close quarters battle safety tactics, techniques and procedures that will be used as the framework for developing safety policies during high-risk training.

Students will receive training in the risk management process that will be used to identify, assess and control risks to balance risk costs against mission benefits. Our cadre will outline proper standards for weapons safety, CQB range procedures and safety violations. Students will be provided information that outlines the minimum personnel equipment requirements for the safe conduct of CQB to include policies on ballistic helmets and body armor.

Practical training during the course will include opening, occupying and closing procedures for the shoot house as well as detailing administrative areas and the development of a CQB Shoot House SOP book.
