4-Hour RTS Mini Shield Course

Our 4-Hour RTS Mini Shield Course (Ballistic Shield Operator) in San Bernardino, California. Due to the possibility of spalling issues in a real-life shooting situation with the particular shield used, the shield operator is trained to experiment with the shooting hand behind the shield, and the shooting hand in front of the shield.

To provide the best armed security training, we can train your security organization with any shield you have.

In attendance: Primary Security Agency, South Coast Public Safety, Paiz Tactical, and APO Security.
