If your district plans on arming staff, then we need to create the most up-to-date foundation in firearm safety and marksmanship. We offer 4-hour blocks of training in this and have seen the best results with spending 8 hrs. on the range initially to cover and master the fundamentals.

Next, we need to move into giving your staff a SOLID understanding of state and federal laws as it pertains to USE OF FORCE and deadly force. From a moral, legal and financial standpoint, it's vital to be fluent in the laws that pertain to carrying a firearm for personal defense. Our Multi-State Concealed Carry Class covers those topics as well as emphasizes the magnitude of lethal force. We offer this in a classroom only option or a classroom plus range-time depending on your state's requirements. This can be 4-8 hours.

The key to winning anything is to be better prepared than your opponent. In our world, this would be a tactical advantage to quickly and effectively deal with a threat. Tactics have to be taught and practiced to make them second nature. We don't need theatrics or some action movie routine but a solid understanding of cover/concealment, precision under pressure, malfunctions, reloads, efficient and safe holster work, firearm retention, muzzle awareness and communication during a critical incident. Typically, 8 hours on the range.

At this point we've built a confident and capable marksman, but we need to continue to add dynamic tools to our "tactical toolbox" by learning how to effectively move to contact. The considerations for this training are to maximize how quickly your staff recognizes an attack, moves to the threat and ends a threat without becoming a victim, or causing any unnecessary casualties...like crossfire or improper identification of a threat. The concepts here will help your staff quickly enter and clear rooms maximizing survivability. We teach this on the live range for 4-8 hours and then like to follow it up with scenario-based training at your school. Rev-Tac provides match-grade airsoft, along with all the equipment, and actors for extremely realistic experiences on site. This gives you the opportunity to audit and refine policies, tactics and communication.

Not everyone who wants to be part of the solution will want to carry a firearm. Your awareness and medical teams are a vital role to the overall success of threat avoidance and mitigation. If you are going to be armed, then it's imperative that you have trauma management skills also. We teach a 4 or 8 hour block of instruction called "Tactical Medicine" that will train your staff on simple and proven lifesaving techniques that will improve the overall outcome of a critical incident. We don't want to overwhelm anyone with complicated processes, so our curriculum focuses on the "lethal triad"...stop the bleeding, keep them breathing and keep them warm. We cover proper tourniquet applications as well as building your trauma kits to fit your budgets and personal needs.
