Course Overview:This hands-on training course prepares law enforcement and private security professionals to respond decisively and tactically to threats in and around vehicles. Whether ambushed during routine patrol, responding to a high-risk traffic stop, or protecting clients during mobile operations, personnel must be equipped to fight from, around, and through vehicles under extreme pressure. This course bridges the gap between static firearms training and the chaotic, confined, and unpredictable nature of vehicle-based engagements.
Key Training Objectives:
-Understanding the Vehicle as Cover and Concealment:
-Ballistic behavior through glass, doors, and other automotive materials

Vehicle Ambush & Counter-Ambush Tactics:
-Recognizing signs of a vehicle-based threat (ambush cues, suspicious behavior, blocking vehicles)
-Rapid egress techniques for driver and passengers under fire
-Forming hasty contact teams and bounding from vehicles under threat
Shooting from Within & Around Vehicles:
-Engaging threats from seated positions through glass
-Weapon retention and manipulation inside confined space
-Positional shooting under duress: crouched, prone, door-supported, and underneath vehicles
Vehicle Approach & Dismount Procedures:
-Tactical traffic stop procedures for high-risk vehicle occupants
-Approaching suspect vehicles with officer safety in mind
-Cross-decking and vehicle-to-vehicle transitions
Client/VIP Protection Under Fire (Private Security Focus):

-Shielding VIPs during contact, rapid movement to hard cover
Live-Fire Scenarios Exercises:
