Introduction

The National Association of School Resource Officers (NASRO) in cooperation with Tactical Defense Institute (TDI) is pleased to present "SRO Active Shooter Response" course.

This is an intensive five day hands-on course which focuses specifically on a one and/or two officer response to an active shooter or random violent incident on a school campus. NASRO and TDI instructors presenting the course are all certified firearms instructors with several years of tactical experience.

The techniques presented in this course could also be utilized in active shooter incidents that might occur in other locations such as shopping centers or other places of business.

Once you register for the course you will receive a waiver of liability as well as a letter which outlines the location of the class and other general information. This waiver of liability needs to be signed by you and your department head and brought with you to the class, before you can take this course.

Who Should Attend

Officers attending this course need to be in reasonably good physical condition as four of the five days will involve a great deal of physical activity.

Course Outline

Day One
Classroom presentation to include:

Preparation for International and Domestic Terrorism

Psychology of the Active Shooter

History of Active Shooters in the School Environment

Application of the National Incident Management System (NIMS) to Active Shooter Events

Selection of Equipment

Day Two and Three
Attendees will spend these two days at the range firing approximately 1000 rounds per student.

This will NOT be a competitive shooting environment. The idea will be to increase your handgun skills from your current level to where you want to be. You will learn valuable techniques that will better prepare you to successfully engage an Active Shooter or other Violent Suspect on your campus.

Attendees will be responsible for bringing their duty weapon and 1000 rounds of ammunition.

RANGE SAFETY WILL BE THE TOP PRIORITY. ATTENDEES WHO FAIL TO FOLLOW RULES AND/OR THE DIRECTION OF THE RANGE INSTRUCTORS WILL BE IMMEDIATELY DISMISSED FROM THE COURSE AND THEIR COMMANDING OFFICER WILL BE NOTIFIED BY THE TRAINING DIRECTOR.

Day Four and Five
The last two days of the course will involve realistic scenarios in a school facility. Attendees will gain experience in one and two officer responses to specific scenarios. Tactical movement and entry techniques will be stressed.

Gas powered Air-Soft handguns will be used in these scenarios and protective equipment will be provided.
