Police Response to Active Killers (P-RAK) 3-day Course at Samarcand Training Academy

-

This course is FREE and funded by Sandhills Community College and NCDPS. Lodging and meals are provided at the Samarcand Training Academy.

Police Response to Active Killers (P-RAK) is a 3-day scenario based training course designed by The RAK Academy to offer Law Enforcement Agencies the ability to have a tactically sound and uniformed response to Active Killer incidents. It is the flagship course of the Response to Active Killers (RAK) programs, which also include D-RAK (a 2-day Dispatch Response to
Active Killers) and C-RAK (a ½-day Civilian Response to Active Killers) programs.

The techniques taught have been vetted out through industry experts and careful case analysis. These techniques are simple to understand and specifically designed to be basic in nature, so that recall and repetition can be achieved during an extremely chaotic and stressful incident. They are taught in a Crawl-Walk-Run adult learning format so that a foundation of muscle memory is obtained by performing repeated “Good Reps.”

P-RAK is designed for the first wave of responding Law Enforcement Officers (LEOs) to an Active Killer Incident and will focus on their top priorities during the first 10 minutes, most notably – Stopping the Threat(s). Therefore, P-RAK is applicable for LEOs of all ranks and experience.

P-RAK attendees will be able to do the following:

  • Define the term Active Killer.
  • Define the top priorities of the first responding LEOs.
  • Demonstrate rapid deployment and approach to an Active Killer Incident.
  • Demonstrate solo LEO and multiple LEO responses.
  • Demonstrate “gear up” procedures to Shave Seconds to Save Lives©.
  • Demonstrate exterior approach options to Shave Seconds to Save Lives©.
  • Demonstrate how to move to a “known threat” and an “unknown threat.”
  • Demonstrate stairwell clearing.
  • Demonstrate hallway movements and intersection clearing.
  • Demonstrate dynamic room entries.
  • Demonstrate how to navigate oddities in a room.
  • Demonstrate how to control individuals in a room.
  • Demonstrate link-up procedures.
  • Demonstrate basic self-aid and buddy-aid techniques.
  • Due to the scenario-based training in P-RAK, attendees must be in good physical condition and be able to run short distances while carrying their assigned weapons and wearing their body armor.
