• Realistic De-Escalation (Private Course)

  • When
    October 25, 2025
  •  
    8:00 AM - 4:00 PM
  • Location
    Desert Hills Bible Church 16635 N 51st Ave, Glendale

  Realistic De-Escalation thoroughly dissects the complex concept of “de-escalation” and the many elements in determining its feasibility or effectiveness in a variety of encounter types. This deeper knowledge of de-escalation is valuable to both security officers and supervisors called in to review force events after the fact. All these parties will need to determine to what extent using de-escalation techniques is feasible in specific high-pressure and rapidly unfolding encounters.

  Participants in the course will learn concepts and methods that support de-escalation efforts when personal connections can be made between officers and subjects. These attendees will be given knowledge regarding ways to help people in a state of mental health crisis, or whose perception of reality is altered. Officers will be able to better manage human beings with better skills around establishing contact, building rapport and gaining influence to achieve police objectives.

  Practical carbine examines the use of the carbine in an urban/home environment. While focusing on the AR platform, other weapons such as the AK and various bullpups are also welcome. We will be working to achieve quick hits on silhouette targets at home and parking lot distances. While useful equipment add-ons will be discussed, this is primarily a skills-oriented course.

  YOUR RIFLE SHOULD BE ZEROED PRIOR TO ARRIVAL. WE WILL CONFIRM AND REFINE ZEROES, BUT THE SCOPE OF THE COURSE DOES NOT PERMIT DEVELOPMENT OF ZERO FROM SCRATCH.

  Needed Equipment:

  *Rifle, zeroed at 50 yards. We will confirm zero/zero as needed, but drills are more profitable tools.

  *Red dot, LVPO, or similar optics are permitted but not required.
  

  *Sling, ideally 2-point

  *Minimum of 3x 20- or 30- round magazines

  *Method of carrying 3 magazines on one's person. Pockets are acceptable.

  *Minimum of 300 rounds range ammunition. (NO M885/SS109/”Green Tip”/7N6 or similar penetrator ammunition permitted)

  *Pistol with holster, 3 magazines, and 50 rounds of range ammunition. Appendix is acceptable, but is going to be uncomfortable. SERPA holsters are PROHIBITED.

  *Knee/elbow pads as desired.

  *Shooting mat. A Harbor Freight moving blanket is acceptable—the ground is going to be cold.

  *Clothing and personal items suitable for the weather.

  *The usual eye/ear protection and other range gear.

  Tactical Decision Making merely refers to decisions made for short-time span goals. This course focuses on those decisions made under time constraints, where discretionary time is not available. The focus is on the high-risk/criticality/liability, low-frequency events that are typified by the use of force.

  Participants will review use-of-force concepts, observe videos of previous incidents, learn to avoid the traps of poor decision making, apply the priorities of life, and make appropriate decisions based on the situation presented. 

  This course includes the use of video simulation and live action roleplaying in a variety of incidents.
