OPTEMPO Training Group X Jersey Tactical

Forcible entry is a critical capability for patrol officers responding to active shooter incidents and other rapidly evolving threats where immediate access may be necessary to save lives.

Students will receive hands-on training with the Halligan, Jersey Claw, breaching ram, bolt cutters, and other patrol-appropriate breaching tools. Instruction will cover breach-point assessment, tool selection, inward- and outward-opening doors, defeating common locking mechanisms, breaching safety, equipment staging, and integration with an active-shooter response team.

This 2-day course is presented in collaboration with Jersey Tactical, manufacturer of the Jersey Claw.
