FREE -LE Only Dual Response to Active Threats

Dual Response to Active Threats [DRAT] is a two-day (18+ hr) course that teaches students how to effectively respond, with a partner, to incidents with active killing in progress.  Students will be taught how to rapidly deploy from their vehicles in order to stop the killing and then stop the dying.  DRAT is designed for those who work in a two-person capacity or has a "beat" partner they usually handle calls with.  Utilizing the "Crawl, Walk, Run" training methodology, students will start with a white board presentation and finish with Force on Force.  Non-Lethal Training Ammunition (NLTA) and blanks will be utilized during the training.

Drop in AR15 conversion kits and Glock sim guns with the appropriate simunition rounds will be provided for the training event.  If your agency is able to provide you with simunition equipment and rounds, it'll be greatly appreciated.  

Students are also encouraged to bring their departmental vehicles to the training.  You'll be shown how to utilize your vehicle as an improvised ambulance during critical incidents.  

Lead Kilo Concepts will be on site and taking pictures during the event.  They will be providing photo packages for students to purchase.  If you're interested send us an email and we will provide you with the details and link.
