The Law Enforcement Active Shooter Emergency Response (LASER) course uses a mixture of classroom presentations, hands-on field training, and practical exercises to enhance the capabilities of law enforcement officers to effectively respond to and stop an active shooter incident.
Among the topics covered during the classroom instruction are recent high-profile active shooter incidents that teach valuable lessons to law enforcement officers of any experience level. The course also stresses fundamental considerations that can significantly improve response efforts. Further classroom instruction covers the planning and implementation of appropriate response measures used to achieve the primary goal of stopping a perpetrator to protect innocent lives.
The hands-on field training featured in this course includes information on mental and physical tools necessary to achieve an effective and efficient response to an active shooter incident. Participants will observe and carry out entry and clearing techniques based on various response team sizes and structural configurations.
Finally, the course features numerous practical exercises that employ simulation weapons to create a realistic training environment. These practical exercises depict an active shooter scenario in which responding officers can practice using the knowledge and tools gained from the course to rapidly intervene in the incident.
