Program Goals

CATS, Inc. is fully committed to the following training goals established over a decade ago by CATS instructors:

• First, conduct research and develop best practice tactics that are contemporary within the law enforcement community.

• Second, establish skill set training evolutions that are realistic to high-risk situations and not focused on working in a “controlled environment.”

• Third, allow the students to conduct self-evaluations of their skills and ability to successfully navigate through a high-risk scenario and be ready to provide alternative solutions if necessary. 

Program Objectives

At the conclusion of this course the students will...

• Demonstrate tactical skills in realistic practical exercises.

• Demonstrate a high level of firearms proficiency in combat shooting drills.

• Demonstrate mental and physical awareness necessary to respond to stimuli, such as instantaneous physical or mental threats perpetrated against themselves or other innocent persons.
