Law Enforcement Agencies are now deploying or are in the process of issuing carbine rifles to both Field Supervisors, Field Officers, and Tactical Units. With that comes the need of having qualified Armorers or Rangemasters to service and maintain these weapons on a regular basis, as well as teach officers in the employment and use of these firearms.
This course covers all M16/AR-15 weapons systems made by all manufacturers.
This course is 5 days. The first two days cover Armoring and the last three days cover the Instructor Portion.
Instructor/Armorers will be certified to teach other peace officers in all aspects of the use and care of these weapon systems. This program follows the Manufacturer's guidelines and is taught by FBI and NRA Certified Instructors. Note: It is highly recommended that all students interested in this course already be certified as a Basic LE Firearms Instructor, as well as have received Instructor Development Training. This is because the Instructor portion of this course focuses on teaching the rifle rather than basic markmanship and lesson plan development.
