Because capability matters.
In today’s world, you must ask yourself:
What is my role in an emergency?
Patrol - SIM portion only
This one day event is about answering those questions with skill, confidence, and standards. This is part of the 4 day overall event but for locals or those that only wish to travel for one day, you can partake in the Patrol Training. PATROL is Able Shepherd's flagship progression for Phase 4 / Able Shepherd Certified students — a three-part evolution that takes you from close-terrain fundamentals, through a full reality-based hostage rescue operation. The live fire testing standard will take part on October 9th and in order to partcipate, students will register for both days. Complete all three and you don't just walk away with new skills. You walk away with the “P” endorsement on your Able Shepherd Challenge Coin — proof you can operate as a team, under pressure, when it counts.400 Yards and in for Live fire testing, with patrol tactics, understanding movement, and culminating with a Reality Based Training Scenario Rescue.
Let’s get to work.
