Armed Professional

Thank you for your interest in our Armed Professional Training Program: Response to the Active Killer / Mass Casualty Event.  With this training you will learn to efficiently use a firearm and utilize it to its maximum potential.  Many aspects of this training exceed that required of a Police Officer. This course was developed utilizing our decades of training and experience. 

Armed professionals, whether they are an educator, business owner, church or event security, will be taught how to defend themselves and those for whom they are responsible against the active killer.  Attendees will be placed in shoot/don’t shoot scenarios and will be educated in the use of force / deadly force under Iowa law.  Attendees will be evaluated on their competency and commitment. 

Topics covered will include firearm safety, history and profiles of the active killer, response, mindset & stress mitigation, marksmanship, weapon care, law, medical care, ethical use of force, modes of concealed carry among many other topics. All attendees must pass the same qualification course that Iowa Peace Officers are required to fire.

Each class may have up to ten students. The cost of this five-day training is $1000 per attendee. (Group rates available.) If you would like to sponsor an educator through this program, please email or call us.   

Prerequisites:  Each attendee must have been issued a Permit to Carry Weapons prior to enrollment.  Attendees will provide their own firearm, ammunition, holster, and safety equipment – eye and hearing protection.  Some of this equipment may be loaned for the training if prior arrangements are made.
