Dynamic Entry Tactics (20 Jun 2026)

Sat, 20 Jun 2026 13:00:00 GMT

About This Course:

Whether entering a room for a search, securing a room in your house, rescuing a hostage, or engaging an active shooter, the most dangerous risk involves the initial room entry. Entering a room where an unknown assailant is inside puts the good guy at a significant disadvantage in the event of an attack.

While CQB and Fighting In Structures has a module on the techniques, true professionals will spend days focusing on this very specific portion of CQB. Once dynamic entry is better understood, the overall CQB techniques will flow much more smoothly.

For those who have taken the Tactical Breaching course, this course will address what to do once the door is open.

Tactical Breaching, Dynamic Entry, and CQB flows together to create a much better appreciation for the overall risks and methods of mitigating danger during a fighting in structure scenario.

This course is equally applicable for law enforcement who may be entering a domestic disturbance, a civilian doing home invasion response, or anyone dealing with an active shooter situation.

Topics Include:

Foundation of Dynamic Entry

Proper Speed of Dynamic Entry

Fatal Funnels, Button Hooks, Driving Corners, and other vital techniques

Human Factors related to Visual and Auditory Processing

Shoot-No-Shoot Decisions and Dealing with Innocent Occupants

Low Light Scenarios

Equipment Required:

Airsoft Equipment will be provided if you do not have your own

Prerequisites:

None, although Tactical Breaching and Fighting in Structures will help you better understand the full flow

Notes:

This is an INDOOR course

Instructor:

This course is taught by a former Miami area SWAT officer

Fundamentals of the Church Safety Officer - Fort Wayne (27 Jun 2026)

Sat, 27 Jun 2026 13:00:00 GMT

About This Course:

We want to think our church is a place of refuge where we can safely grow a relationship with our God, family, and fellow congregation. Unfortunately, churches are quickly becoming one of the most targeted places for violence.

Many churches have started safety or security teams, but they often lack the ability to give proper training and guidance to the team members. In too many instances the church board simply finds the person in the congregation who happens to be a police officer, tags them to develop a security plan, and then opens it up to volunteers. While this is certainly better than having nothing in place, this approach can leave many holes in a fully comprehensive security plan.

Getting a full team together to offer training has issues. People have complicated schedules. Training facilities are limited. Training courses may offer some of the base skills, but they are not tailored to the church environment.

While we offer full advisement, planning, and training packages to churches, we found many other instances where individual safety team members understand it is “up to them” to get the training required. This course will help individuals who have been tasked to serve their church in a security or safety team role to be better prepared. In addition, several topics will be discussed they can take back to their organizations to help implement a more comprehensive plan.

Topics Covered:

Situational Awareness before, during, and after the service

De-escalation techniques for church environments

Firearms and other weapons considerations

Safeguarding the offering and financial contributions

Protecting the children

Medical issues, fires, weather events, and other safety emergencies

Legal liability

Equipment Required:

Notepad and Pen

Prerequisites:

None

Notes:

This course is primarily aimed at individual safety team members but will help guide the basis for an overall church plan.

This is a fast paced course with many topics covered

Follow-on training is available to go deeper into each topic

Many people think they know how to operate a rifle and shoot accurately. For most, this has included taking their rifle to a range and shooting at paper targets until they could consistently hit a bull’s-eye. However, this is NOT fighting with your rifle.
