times your department members should arrive at the training facility. Each officer
will be trained individually allowing for 30 minutes of training per officer.
The F.A.T.S Instructors will evaluate officers on their response to the
scenario presented, their tactical knowledge, the rationale employed, and their
decision if deadly force should be used, and the accuracy of any shots fired.
The primary purpose of the F.A.T.S training is to enhance officer safety
and tactical techniques and to re-enforce the use of less than lethal force when
appropriate. Officer’s reaction time and accuracy when deadly force is employed
should also improve with this training.
