SAFETY AND WEAPONS STANDARDS
We believe safety is our priority and we expect it to be the
same for our students. At the beginning
of each day we will issue a safety brief and attendance is mandatory. If a student misses this brief he may not be
allowed to participate. The safety brief
will be similar to the following:
Daily Safety Brief Four Firearms Safety Rules All weapons are loaded Finger straight along the frame until on target and decided to fire Don’t point weapon at anything you don’t intend to kill or destroy Know your backdrop and beyond Applies equally to Simunition weapons Know where your team is when searching. Don’t clear into team. See Rule #4Load and Unload all weapons safely near berm or approved backdrop. All muzzles (Simunition weapons apply) shall be pushed past fellow officers with no chance for officers in front to step into your line of fire. Everyone is responsible for safetyAll violations are grounds for removal from course Emergency Medical Plan in case of injury
Students are expected to be proficient with their primary
weapon (AR-15/M4 style) and handgun before the HRT School. Clothing shall be tactical style in nature,
long pants, and appropriate shoes. No shorts are allowed.
Please remember the HRT School involves periods of high
intensity work involving running, carrying extra weight and gear and long
working hours.
