Designed to build upon the foundational skills learned in the Executive Protection Operations Course, this two-day skill builder focuses on the shooting aspects of the EP mission. This fast-paced course puts the students back on the range for more live fire training specifically based on EP emergency operations in low to medium risk situations (handgun only) and includes a focus on one-handed handgun operation. This is a physically and mentally demanding course requiring long days and maximum student participation. Students should prepare accordingly.
