Tactical Drug Operations – Three Day

Course Length: 3 days (24 hours)

MCTFT Coordinators: SSG Tyler Morris (904-682-3912)

This is an intensive “tactical” applications course designed for the explicit purpose of officer safety for those officers involved in high-risk encounters with subjects implicated in drug and other investigations. The training is relevant for federal, state and local drug task forces, narcotics squads, officers who encounter drug violators in their patrol duties, and teams investigating and executing arrest warrants for subjects involved in drug trafficking and violent crimes. The training is offered at host locations which can provide proper facilities and tactical supplies for both the classroom and the intensive hands-on training. High-impact learning is aided by Simunition-equipped weapons for tracking operational skills and student survival behaviors. Exercises develop rules of engagement skills relevant for traditional police activities and military-law enforcement.
