BECOME A CERTIFIED FIREARM SPECIALIST
ONLINE COURSES NOW AVAILABLE!
- OUR LIVE SEMINARS ARE ACCEPTED FOR IAI CERTIFICATION Why do many law enforcement professionals have to rely on
someone else to handle, clear, ID or explain a firearm?
Because until recently, there has never been a complete firearm
training program.
•
•
•
•
Those days are over!
The training for easily learning these tasks is available here.
This does for crime-gun investigation what fingerprints has
done for criminal ID.
Everyone in law enforcement can now learn firearms easily,
completely, and affordably, in as little as 10 Days.
Safety
Nothing is left to chance. One misstep can mean disaster.
Learn the safe practices and methods of handling and clearing all
firearm designs commonly encountered by law enforcement.
Accuracy
No more mistakes. Each year 600,000 crime-guns and countless
ammunition is recovered. Even a 1% error rate means 6,000 guns
are improperly ID’d, allowing for lost prosecutions, jobs, licenses,
and credibility.
Competence
Never be confused again. Understand and explain the ID,
classification and mechanical operation of all firearm types and
ammunition beyond the level necessary during cross examination.
