POLICE SNIPER RESPONSE TO A PUBLIC VENUE

Designed exclusively for active law enforcement snipers, this advanced 4-5 day course prepares operators to deliver overwatch and counter-terror support in dynamic public venues, such as stadiums, arenas, and event spaces. Developed by veteran sniper instructor Mark Lang, the PSRPV™ course is a mission-specific progression that trains you to respond with precision, confidence, and legal defensibility when lives are at stake.
