October 2018 - Low light tactical pistol / Flashlight School; It was an excellent course, and not only did I have to think about where I was shooting, but also the different techniques. Excellent course. It will be nice for us to have more low light shoots/trainings and to keep improving on what we were taught.

May 2018 - Basic Sniper School - Ohio; Great course. Very demanding physically and mentally. It's great to be challenged physically in training. A lot of police schools steer away from how important to be physically challenged during weapon-oriented drills. You have to train like you fight on the streets and deployments.
