This hands-on, dynamic course is designed to aid the first responder in approaching and breaching into a crisis site using traditional and non-traditional methods. The course covers the use of both manual and ballistic breaching tools to gain entry into a structure under extreme exigent circumstances that demand immediate entry to save and protect innocent lives.
- Manual breaching is the defeating of a door by using tools powered by the human.
- Ballistic breaching is a tactical entry method where operators use firearms—most commonly specialized shotguns—to rapidly destroy door locks, deadbolts, or hinges.
***Classes require Patrol Duty rig/belt and holster. If students have shields and breaching tools issued to them, bring those tools to train with.***
