TRAINING

The mission of the Robinson Police Department's Training Division is to provide each sworn officer and civilian employee with the highest level of training possible. The Training Department hosts and puts on many classes throughout the year. Most of these classes are available to other law enforcement agencies at little or no cost. If a class is listed as OPEN, officers from agencies other than Robinson are invited to register for that class. To register, contact Cpl. M. Noel at (254) 662-0525 or click on the application button.

This school compresses the handgun instructor school to 3 days and adds 2 days of shotgun instructor training.

Tactical Shooting Instructor               August 23 - 27, 2010                 OPEN
The Tactical Shooting School is intended for experienced and certified firearm instructors. The basics of instructing, communication skills, use of training aids, construction of lesson plans, and other basic instructor classes are not included in this school. This school advances towards teaching the tactical use of the duty handgun, secondary handgun and long gun (patrol rifle or shotgun with slugs). Students MUST possess strong firearm handling skills prior to attending this school. The program concentrates on advanced shooting skills, use of the “safety circle” concept, pivoting and turning to fire, movement, unconventional shooting positions, two-man patrol tactics, use of the back-up handgun, use of the off-duty handgun, an extended reduced light training session and decision-making under stress. During the course of the week student teams will design a tactical course of fire, and will be responsible for developing a lesson plan and running fellow students through this course at the end of the week. (The student must have a good working knowledge of ALL the firearms he/she will be using during this school and must have successfully completed a recognized law enforcement firearm instructor school that included general methods of instruction in one of the firearm systems he/she will be using AND have successfully completed a basic operators school of some sort with the other firearm. THIS is not a basic operator school.) There will be no exceptions!

Patrol Rifle Instructor   October 4 -8, 2010                   
           OPEN
This school centers on the patrol rifle for officers using iron sights or optics (which must be removed for zeroing exercises). The classroom portion informs students how to teach basic fundamentals of rifle marksmanship and handling, how to zero iron-sighted rifles, and discusses zeroing policy and liability concerns. Range work quickly moves from basic marksmanship to tactical movement, use of cover, various firing positions, pivots and turns, use of the safety circle concept, reloading under stress, firing on the move, multiple threats, decision-making, and reduced light threat identification and firing. Students design a tactical course of fire and are responsible for developing a lesson plan and running fellow students through their course at the end of the week. (Officers attending this class are expected to be capable of firing 6 inch groups with a rifle at 50 yards from the prone, sitting, kneeling and standing positions, and possess the ability to make accurate rifle sight adjustments, field strip, reassemble, load and unload their respective rifles, prior to arrival. THIS is not a basic operator school.)
