Enrollment Deadline: November 1, 2025
Maximum – 16
Course Objective:
This one-day, 8-hour course is designed to provide officers with the skills to perform a solo response to active ongoing life-threatening situations. Students will be taught immediate action tactics in the ITOA format to better prepare them for on duty situations that may require them to make entry into an active threat situation alone.
Course Content:
Immediate action is the swift and immediate deployment of law enforcement resources to a life-threatening active threat situation. These situations require immediate action and the rapid deployment of law enforcement. Failure to act has catastrophic consequences resulting in death and/or great bodily harm to innocent people.
These incidents may also necessitate the immediate and rapid deployment of personnel to contain and prevent the escape of an armed and dangerous offender, or rescue a downed officer and/or civilian. Topics to be addressed include:
- Individual movement
- Individual room clearing tactics
- Use-of-force and safety priorities
- Equipment and identification requirements
- Linking up with other first responders and integration of other personnel and agencies
- Verbal skills
- Deployment and firearms handling
Who Should Attend: Any Sworn Law Enforcement Officer.
