Illustrated Tactical Manual

Finally getting somewhere with this.
In memory of a friend and colleague I began the task of creating an Illustrated Tactical Manual of 'Best Practices' for SWAT and Commanders.
It turns out to be 20 Chapters and around 700 pages. Some of it FREE and readily available to read (not sensitive) other Chapters will be for sale due to their sensitive nature and the inclusion of my unique graphics.
Still putting the final touches to several chapters but i am excited about the prospect of delivery the FIRST Illustrated Manual.
Fingers are sore now .... need a rest.

3D Models NOW Available

Finally, after 12 years of toil and effort, I have in my possession an excellent 3D model that is affordable to anyones budget AND it was created from scratch using 3D software and a 3D print firm.
The 'Graphic / Character' is created for 2D use but the 3D file can be used to create an exact replica of the graphic image to further enhance ANY table top exercise or 3D model town or street.
You have to see this model to know how much it will improve and elevate your current training and operation briefings.
Go on ... take a look - DARE YOU!

Critical Incident Response Classes begin again!

The Fall schedule begins with a full class for the Critical Incident Response course.
A 4 day course covering such important subjects as:

• Risk Assessment for Patrol,
• Threat Analysis for Tactical Options,
• Command, Planning and Contingencies,
• Conflict Management Model (UK system),
• Incident Management,
• Current Threats,
• Incident Response,
• Tactical Options and finally
• Reality based exercises to validate learning.

This course is designed and aimed at First Responders, their Commanders and Supervisors and any specialist teams required to safely resolve a Critical Incident where there is a possibility that lethal force may be used by Police or the suspect.

We then move onto the Tactical Advisor course which also consists of 4 classes ... but thats another story.

Command and Control for Law Enforcement

Having been here for 6 years now and trained with quite a few different Law Enforcement Departments I thought I would raise an uinteresting question ... ?

• What Command and Control training do supervisors and Senior Officers receive which prepares them for the inevitable Critical Incident where Lethal Force Options are likely to be considered or used by Police OR Suspects? Afterall 80% of our work (LE) does not require the services of  EMS or Fire.
• Do you use the NIMS / ICS system originally developed from the Wild Fires in Califormia in the 1970's?
• Do you have another system that you rely upon for Law Enforcement situations?
• Have you heard of the Conflict Management Model a simple system developed purely for Law Enforcement when dealing with Critical situations?

http://www.ileese.org/ for more information.

Please let me know which system you use or do you "Wing It" every time AND get away with it?

Risk Assessment and Threat Analysis for Cops

I am in the process of putting a flowchart together for Critical Incident Response to assist Patrol Officers, Supervisors, Commanders and Tactical Officers when they make decisions on how to successfully conclude an incident where there is a potential for lethal force by responding officers or suspects.
Anyone seen such a chart before or have any suggestions as to what to include.
As soon as I have completed the DRAFT I will make it available at http://www.ileese.org/
Stay safe out there,
Regards,
Keith

EXCITING NEW PROJECT - 3D MODELS

Having created a huge gallery of characters and images for the Emergency Services using 3D software, I came across a company that actually prints ... YES PRINTS your 3D image and creates a model.
With this in mind I have sent off for a sample and IF it turns out to be of good quality and detailed I am thinking of creating a SWAT Chess Set. Have a First Responder and Patrol set in mind too.
What would you want the pieces to depict?
So far I have the following in mind: (any thoughts)

• King - Chief
• Queen - On Scene commander
• Bishop - Negotiator
• Knight - Breacher
• Rook - Shieldman / Point
• Pawn - Operator

Who would the bad guys and girls be?

The idea is that the models will be scaled for use on 3D Cities and Towns for Critical Incident Response training !
Sample should be in my hands this week.
Watch here for update ...
