When there's no time to think, you revert to your training.
Advanced Force Tactics, Inc.
Providing the finest judgmental shooting and use-of-force training to law enforcement and armed security agencies.
Sworn law enforcement officers are encouraged to register with this site on the Contact page to gain access to our Tactics page. Here we will present information on gunfighting tactics and training which is for official use only.
Advanced Force Tactics, Inc. enables your agency to fulfill court-mandated requirements for ongoing realistic judgmental shooting and use-of-force training by bringing the training to you. We will set up and calibrate the most advanced judgmental use-of-force simulator in the world, the IES Range 2000, at your location and train each of your officers on five realistic violent confrontations which will require varying levels of force to control. After each scenario, the officer will undergo a thorough debriefing in which he or she will have to justify the level of force used.
We also offer a multimedia computerized training program based on Tennessee V. Garner (471 U.S. 1 (1985)), the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on use of deadly force to stop a fleeing felon. This ruling is often greatly misunderstood among law enforcement officers nationwide. Our program includes self-paced reading on the Garner case law and legal commentary, a scored test, and scored mini-scenarios which, if incorporated into the judgmental shooting training package would enable up to sixteen officers to receive two full hours of judgmental shooting training per ten-hour training day.
In addition, for agencies with specialized training requirements, such as Federal Reserve Banks and armored transport services, we can plan, script, film, edit, and program complex branching training scenarios to fit their specialized needs. We also film scenarios with specialized teaching points for agencies which use the Range 2000 or FATS IV digital simulators.
