Sniper Overwatch for SWAT Operations is an advanced 20 hour two-day course designed to enhance sniper confidence supporting SWAT Operations through training conducted in a realistic urban environment. After vetting and review of sniper skills on the range and shoothouse, training progresses to full mission profile exercises conducted in an actual urban setting. Live-fire sniper support will be integrated with entry team activity. Skills enhanced in this course include the conduct of observation, sniper-initiated assault, and spontaneous precision response for typical SWAT missions which include but are not limited to;
High risk warrant service
Barricaded suspect
