Description- This 3-day course will focus heavily on the necessary individual
operator, team leader, and instructor level skillsets to successfully conduct and
teach Close Quarter Battle (CQB) tactical operations with a heavy emphasis on
Hostage Rescue, Active Threat, and Active Shooter Scenarios. This course
curriculum is designed as a “train the trainer” approach with a wide range of
skillsets covered from individual operator procedures to senior team leader

differences between deliberate and dynamic CQB to help determine which
method should be used for different types of law enforcement operations for the
scenario they are faced with.
A wide range of individual and team leader level techniques will be taught
to ensure that both junior and senior officers are prepared for a wide range of

are morphed together to provide the officer the best chance for success in a
chaotic high-risk scenario. CQB clearance methodology with each type of tactic
