Course Description:
More than ever, law enforcement instructors need to be able to teach their students not just "how" to use force under stress, but equally if not more importantly "when."  Using force-on-force scenario based training is the most effective method for instructors to do this.  This course will enable instructors to safely and effectively conduct force-on-force training at their agency using simulated lethal and less-lethal training options. 

Some of the topics covered will include the psychological and physiological effects of stress on human performance; safely creating stress during training; developing scenarios to meet your agency's needs; documenting scenario based training; managing the logistical challenges of training; best practices for debriefing; and increasing officer performance.

Note:  This class qualifies agencies/instructors to participate in OPOTA's Scenario Training Equipment Program (STEP).  STEP allows agencies to borrow scenario training equipment from OPOTA free of charge.
