Featuring experiences from small-to-large protests, acts of civil disorder to large-scale riots, the Safariland™ Training Academy Crowd Management
and Mobile Field Force Instructor course meets the needs of all sized
agencies. Whether you are currently responsible for crowd management or
anticipating the need for a mobile field force, this course has a lot to offer.
This 5-day course is for both the officer and supervisors covering all aspects
of crowd management. Safariland believes in giving the first responder the
tools needed to complete the mission and believes that hands-on training,
whether utilizing the riot baton, working with riot shields, or using a launching system, is the best way to be successful. We believe that openly discussing successes and failures better prepares the responder to succeed.
