This is an  OSS Academy® Rifle on Patrol Tactics online training course offered for Peace Officers, Jailers, and Telecommunicators.

Policing worldwide has undergone major shifts in the last 100 years. There is better selection and training of officers, better policy development, and shifts in type and effectiveness of the equipment we now use. Nothing illustrates this more than the shift by law enforcement agencies internationally to the use of shoulder fired weapons. This course will guide law enforcement managers and officers through the issues surrounding the decision to arm patrol officers with rifles. It addresses and identifies rifles suitable for enforcement use, and discusses tactics that can be implemented when officers respond to various threats. Also discussed is the federal program that allows agencies to acquire rifles and equipment from the U.S. Government without charge.

Please note, the entire course final exam(s), and course evaluation(s) must be completed in order to receive one (1) hour of course credit.
