The course will cover the following:

The use of SWAT teams to conduct court authorized search warrants has increasingly become more scrutinized in today’s society. As a result, the courts have ruled on several issues that can effect the day to day operations of a SWAT team. This three day (30 hour) course will cover recent case law pertaining to high risk search warrants, the review of “search warrants gone bad,” and planning considerations. The class will be divided into teams, each team will conduct a drive by on a target location to obtain intelligence and form a tactical plan. Although a large portion of this class is classroom instruction, teams will be executing scenario based search warrants with Sims gear, conducting the manual breaching of doors, and conducting live fire team movements in a 360 degree shoot house. This class will provide students the opportunity to plan and execute search warrants, as well as the knowledge and understanding of legal considerations that impact tactical operations.
