Fugitive Apprehension- Open Terrain

Class is designed to provide tactical operators with tactics and techniques when searching for or pursuing a suspect on foot in open, suburban or rough terrain. As technology and equipment continue to evolve, this course also incorporates the use of drones, Night Vision Goggles and K9s (if the agency requests) in capturing suspects. Tactical medical considerations are also reviewed as casualties in steep or rural terrain are difficult to extricate and there may be a long time lapse due to distance, for evacuation. Class incoprporates open field tactics, wooded terrain tactics and hilly terrain tactics. Recent incidents where these techniques and tactics were needed show very few tactical units in the country are capable of performing them. Such incidents include multi-day armed suspect searches. This is an intensive course. Individual officers and tactical teams  are permitted to attend.
