HOW IT WORKS & EXPECTED COURSES
LETC takes place over five days, with four days of full instruction. As we get closer to August we will notify attendees on how to enroll in your four subject-specific classes (one each day) from a multitude of options. These classes are taught by world-class instructors with backgrounds in every aspect of firearms training.
Aimpoint Professional Training will deliver an abbreviated version of their widely accepted ACRO transition course. Areas of concentration will be on: neutral presentation, asympathetic threat polarization drills, presentation efficiencies, problem solving drills learning and teaching strategies and friendly competition.
This class will focus on Advanced Training Techniques used to create highly skilled and competent shooters. This is a combination of Training Techniques and Philosophies combined from both the Law Enforcement Instructing and Competitive Shooting.
This class is designed for the instructor, but provides a great perspective for those who just want to learn how to improve their own skill.
In this class we will also explain why you don’t understand shooting if you are saying (or believe) any of the following incorrect/misleading shooting phrases:
Shooting on the reactive steel bobber range will push your skills to the limit. This course will demonstrate that a properly prepared officer can execute accurate shots in exceptionally short time windows, including less than one second. This course is not a“quick draw” session, but rather a session designed to reveal your real capabilities in drawing, accuracy, speed, and magazine changes. No matter how fast and accurate you are now, this course will make you better.
Austin has been a Competitive shooter for roughly 15 years, sponsored by Wilson Combat for roughly 11 years. Multi-time IDPA national and world champion. Intermediate-range (100-500yds) rifle competitor (both carbine and bolt guns).
Certified and insured full-time Law Enforcement and competition instructor. I don’t have a background in tactics. What I can offer is methods to shoot faster and more accurately in a dynamic environment; developing better hard skills frees up mental bandwidth to make better choices in stressful situations.
Course Description:
This intensive Carbine Dynamic Movement Course is designed for law enforcement personnel seeking to enhance their tactical rifle skills in high-pressure, dynamic scenarios. Participants will master advanced techniques for shooting on the move in multiple directions, balancing speed and accuracy. The course emphasizes aggressive movement with a rifle, enabling officers to maintain control and effectiveness in rapidly evolving situations. Trainees will learn to quickly establish stable shooting positions following dynamic maneuvers and explore specialized techniques and gear to enhance stability for long-range or precision shots. Through hands-on drills and expert instruction, this course equips officers with the skills and confidence to dominate in complex operational environments.
Instructor: Brian Hartman – Progressive Force Concepts
Training Details:
Vehicle CQB is an accelerated shooting class focused on positional shooting and a critical look at how we have historically fought in and around vehicles. Students will push the boundaries of “traditional” cover and concealment utilizing various cars and trucks in a true 3D environment. Drills will incorporate critical weapon employment while engaging threats in, around, from, over and under vehicles with a heavy emphasis on problem solving. Live ballistic demos with a variety of ammunition will be conducted as the class explores ballistic deflection, deformation, penetration and terminal effect in direct correlation to various vehicle mediums. Both days of this course will be long days, so come prepared.
The daily schedule will be:
Intro/safety/med
vcqb data
positional work
ballistics demo
interior work – bail outs
exterior work – lateral runs
Equipment Required:
handgun
600 rounds handgun
daily carry/duty gear
eye and ear protection
Students should bring any and all drinks/snacks with them.
Low-Light Law Enforcement Gunfighter Pistol is a program designed from having viewed the data surrounding law enforcement deadly force engagements. The techniques, tactics and procedures advocated for, are based on principles that stem from the utilization of a pistol in defense of human life during diminished lighting conditions. Inside the shoot house we will cover proper lighting and searching techniques as well as proper identification of threats especially in deep angles of exposure where traditional techniques are failing us.
Selecting the right equipment for you job is critical and considerations should be given to the modern advancements in lights that have occurred in the last 5 years. These advantages will be discussed as well as how to develop a course of action for your department to acquire, equip and train your officers in a way that makes it difficult for administrators to turn you down.
Be ready to take on a ton of information in this class! Please come with a notebook to write down what you find important to you and your agency.
Equipment Required:
Clear eye protection
Ear Protection (electronic preferred)
Handgun with light and holster
Notebook
Appropriate clothing for the environment (brimmed hat & knee pads)
Patrol officers clear more structures than any other unit or team in policing and usually with only 1-2 officers with limited resources. This course will discuss the Principles of CQB and how those apply to Patrol Officers. We will discuss and demonstrate how to efficiently, effectively, and safely clear structures with 1 or 2 Officers using tools that are commonly available in a patrol function.
Additional discussion points will include:
Proper tactics, techniques, and strategies that Officers can use.
How does the OODA loop affect the patrolman vs. suspect.
Setting a perimeter around the structure.
Recognizing a barricaded subject and having plans in place for emergencies.
The Patrol Rifle – Long Range Shooting Course is designed to optimize your duty rifle shooting skills, build confidence, and make the best use of your gear in long-distance shooting scenarios.
The course will focus on building the shooter’s understanding of what is required to be successful when shooting long distances. Shooters will learn how to analyze their performances, identify variables, and structure exercises/drills that directly contribute to creating immediate progress.
Equipment Required:
400* rounds .223 *Minimum required, but depending on the progress of the group, you could shoot more….much more
AR-15 platform rifle
LPVO (Low Power Variable Optics) with a MIL or MOA
Instructor: Cody Cohen– Genesis Arms/VerTac Training
Training Details:
Cody Cohen and Brandon Verrett will share practical insights and broader concepts on how they have successfully engaged officers from diverse backgrounds, departments, and experience levels. This course will focus on strategies to make individual training time on the range more impactful for all students, regardless of skill level. Highlighting how to design more efficient and effective training plans that maximize available resources for both instructors and students—such as ammunition, time, and budget—without compromising training quality. Whether you’re a student looking to improve faster or an instructor aiming to elevate your training approach, this course will offer actionable takeaways for everyone.
Over the 8-hour course, students will be introduced to modern concepts including practical shooting, hit factor scoring, and baseline evaluations and metrics. Hit factor scoring is the measure of performance based on how well a shooter can manage and balance speed and accuracy in context.
Students will begin with a 200 round concise and comprehensive pistol program designed to maximize efficiency and shooting performance via VerTac’s Diagnose, Calibrate, and Assessment program. Students will then be introduced to broader teaching concepts designed to increase efficiency of instruction when introducing officers to weapon systems. Utilizing the new state of the art Genesis Arms Gen 12 we will introduce the class to a new weapon system, focusing on the HOW and WHY with the aim of demonstrating how to most effectively build up performance, proficiency and accountability of officers when being introduced to new or existing tools. This will help LE instructors limit wasting precious department resources and time while limiting potential liability.
Equipment Required:
GEN 12 Shotgun firearm and Ammo (provided as part of the course)
250 handgun rounds
Eye protection
Ear Protection (electronic preferred)
1 Agency patch (Per Dept not student)
