TPR Firearms, 3-day course

PPCT/HFS developed a Firearms Threat Pattern Recognition (TPR) program.  The goal of this course is to enhance the speed of an officer recognition and response time by teaching the micro-movement threat indicators. The course focuses on biology-based response to time, distance and cover in life and death encounters with armed assailants.   The study has shown that assailant can move their weapon from the side of the leg and fire at a target in .37 second.  Action is faster than reaction.  An officer cannot outdraw the assailant. 70% of officers are killed between 0-10 feet. By making a simple movement, gives them time to evade, assess and engage the threat successfully. This course is to supplement and enhance existing department firearms programs
