Approach: Buildings
Law enforcement is a dangerous profession and survival is often predicated on preparation and survival tactics. This is especially true when approaching a building, as the officer is typically unaware of what is going on inside and the potential dangers within. Due to the fact that many of these approaches occur while a crime is in progress or the suspect is still on the scene, building approaches present a variety of situations where an officers life may be at stake. This course focuses on presenting strategies and precautions to increase officer safety both before and during a building approach.
Numerous case studies, scientific research, statistics, and an array of videos of real-life encounters are utilized to offer training scenarios that assist in determining potential threats and which tactics to use to avoid surprises while in the disadvantageous position of approaching a building.
This course provides an overview of the building approaches while considering the totality of the situation and your safety. It aims to provide a better understanding of the arriving officers objectives before an approach, the benefits of a stealth approach, safe approach tactics, and how to avoid the fatal funnel and kill zone.
