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 dying by effectively engaging the threat and provide life saving medical interventions via triage, TECC, and extrication.  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 non lethal training ammunition [NLTA] will be provided for the training event.  Agency provided NLTA equipment would not only be greatly appreciated, it would increase the amount you get to shoot and decrease the amount of time switching out bolts between students.   

Students are also encouraged to bring their departmental vehicles to the training.  You'll be shown how to utilize your specific vehicle as an expedient non traditional medical transportation platform.  

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.
