New and current SWAT or Special Response Team (SRT) leaders responsible for an entry team or other sub-element of a tactical team will review the responsibilities of a team leader during preplanned and hasty operations.
Tactical Team Leader Development is a three-day course with in-class assignments and simulated operations. In-class work will include discussions about the legal, tactical, and training issues related to law enforcement tactical operations. In addition, students will plan, brief, and conduct simulated operations. Each participant will rotate through various positions during operations, so every student gets the chance to make decisions as the tactical operation team leader.
Course prerequisites: Basic SWAT Course (OPOTA, Ohio Tactical Officers Association, or other equivalent 40-hour basic SWAT course)
Note: Students should be prepared to take notes and bring eye protection, long sleeves, gloves, and a copy of your agency’s SWAT/SRT policy.
