Critical Incident Response

Critical Incident Response is a fast-paced 2 consecutive day course designed to provide a tactical and dynamic framework for in-progress calls for service. More specifically, the course will provide a tactical methodology to deployment of personnel during dynamic incidents – such as in-progress robberies, active shooter situations, hostage rescue incidents, in-progress burglaries, mental health calls with 3rd party risk, and other tactical operations. At the conclusion of the course, participants will have a tangible framework and algorithm to use without lengthy checklists or procedural documents. The techniques taught are proven to support rapid, mission-focused decision making.

This course is multi-faceted, allowing it to be engineered toward line-level personnel, field supervisors, and senior leadership alike. Having a universal understanding of tactical deployment methodology is crucial to working in concert with all staff levels leading to the common objective.

Critical Incident Response will provoke sound thinking and require students to engage in real-life table-top exercises. The scenarios presented are based on real-life incidents and require participants to engage without the use of tactical teams and specialized equipment. Participants will learn the points of natural stabilization of an incident, when dynamic movements are necessary, and when a slower approach is acceptable.

This course is offered in two course formats: "Hosted Classes" where students register individually, and "Contracted Classes" where agencies purchase the entire course at a discounted rate. For scheduling or inquiries, please contact us.  

This class is open to all federal, state, tribal, and local First Responder agency personnel.  All Officers, Deputies, Corporals, Detectives, Supervisors, Command Staff, Executives, and appropriate non-sworn Professional Staff are welcome and encouraged to attend. 

Students are responsible for obtaining permission and approval from their departments prior to registration if the student plans to attend on-duty and have the agency pay for it. You know the rules. 

If you want to attend, we recommend working with your agency prior to registering for a class. Because if you register for a class, and your department does not approve your time or tuition for any reason, you are still responsible for the terms of the attendance and cancellation policy including any applicable tuition. Again, we know you get it and we look forward to seeing you in class!
