The Clagett Sniper Team Leader Course is a three-day leadership-focused program developed from over 30 years of real-world law enforcement and combat sniper experience.

Participants will gain insight into the critical but often overlooked responsibilities of team leaders, including sniper selection, mentoring, equipment acquisition, proposal writing, and internal advocacy within the political structure of law enforcement agencies. You’ll learn how to build and sustain a professional sniper cadre capable of supporting SWAT missions with relevance, versatility, and strategic value.

This is not a high-volume shooting course. Attendees are expected to possess already strong rifle skills and a working knowledge of sniper operations.

Key Topics Include:

  • Personnel selection, training, and mentorship
  • Sniper team structure and operational tasking
  • Equipment testing, acquisition, and grant writing
  • Ethical and moral leadership in high-stakes roles
  • Sustaining sniper program relevance within your department

Who Should Attend:
Current or former LE snipers with at least one year of team experience, especially those in instructor or command roles.

Gear Requirements:

  • Precision rifle (up to .300WM) and 200+ rounds
  • Scope with professional-grade adjustments
  • Tripod/bipod, support bags, and sling
  • NVG-capable if available
  • Standard field gear (backpack, rangefinder, ballistic app, etc.)

It is ideal for LE snipers ready to lead, organize, and elevate their team’s tactical and administrative game.
