Course Number: R4139
Course Description:
Does physically surviving a gunfight mean you won? Not by a long shot. Many people survive gunfights. In fact, most people who are in a gunfight survive. But there is a difference between surviving and winning. Surviving means you continue to exist. Continuing to exist and winning are not the same.
Everyone who carries a gun for personal protection or the protection of others needs to understand what they will face before, during, and after a gunfight. This eight-hour seminar is based on Winning a Gunfight helps prepare the modern warrior to win in the event they face a deadly foe.
Every student receives a copy of Winning a Gunfight, foreword by Lt. Col. Dave Grossman.

Course Description:
The Crisis Intervention Team academy is a 40-hour training program for law enforcement officers and first responders that includes basic information about mental illnesses, the local mental health system, crisis de-escalation, local resources, and local laws. Officers learn first-hand from consumers and their families and are taught verbal de-escalation skills which they are able to practice by participating in educational role-playing.
Law enforcement officers and first responders are often called upon to intervene when individuals
with mental illnesses are in crisis. The CIT academy provides education around how to work more
effectively in these situations and forges partnerships within the local community with key community
stakeholders such as mental health professionals, housing, and other critical resources.
