PSD/VIP PROTECTION COURSE
The rise of extremism both overseas and here in the United States has driven the need for trained protection officers to new heights. Threats from criminal organizations, extremist groups and terrorist operatives are increasing both at home and abroad. High level threats against witnesses, suspects, judges, visiting dignitaries and other government officials can only be dealt with by highly trained operators. These operators act as a very effective deterrent to violence against a principle, or in extreme situations a shield against a direct attack. From everyday low level escorts to high profile protective details, the training delivered by AAPT is by far the best for your money.
Course includes range work, classroom, and a final training exercise in town. This training module encompasses a wide variety of essential skills for personnel operating on a protective detail. Richard F.
