  • Self-Diagnostic Skills: Identifying personal strengths and weaknesses through structured drills, with immediate feedback for rapid improvement.

Instructor: Cody Cohen– Genesis Arms/VerTac Training

Training Details:

Cody Cohen and Brandon Verrett will share broader concepts on how they have successfully engaged students from various departments with a wide variety of experience and skill levels. The focus will be centered on how LE instructors can craft effective lesson plans with strategies that are as efficient as possible while taking into account valuable department resources such as ammunition, cost, and overtime. Efficiency and effectiveness are critical when you are trying to get your people better….. faster.
 
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
