Description: The LEO AVD Instructor program is designed to teach Departmental Instructors the skills needed to implement an armed vehicle defense program at their agency. Days one through three deliver the core AVD content with additional focus on content delivery by the potential instructors. We will break down each drill and cover the concepts, motivations and common teaching points associated with each topic. All concepts are thoroughly covered so that every officer leaves with a complete understanding of the “why” behind a particular skill. This course is grounded in understanding the realities of a Law Enforcement use of force related to vehicles and specifically driven by data, debriefs and reviews of actual incidents. AVD Instructor includes full periods of instruction on both the Duty Handgun and Rifle. The final two days teach the instructors how to safely deliver the program in a low light environment and complete the force-on-force portion of the curriculum.
