provide you with an opportunity to speak directly with the
manufacturers and distributors of firearms related equipment.
This equipment represents the latest in firearms technology.

With all applicable current taxes included, the room rate is
$103.91 and $115.58 a night. Direct all your inquiries to the
Omni San Antonio Hotel either through their toll free number
(800) 843-6664, or, through their direct reservations number

required, from $169.00 weekly rate for a 2 door economy

weapon you will be using for the match. You will need to
bring 50 rounds of frangible ammunition to take part in the
match, however, should you not be able to obtain frangible
ammunition it will be supplied to you. Steel Body Silhouette
targets will be used and three classifications of shooters will

of 120 participants. You will need to bring your own duty
firearm, 50 rounds of frangible ammunition, if available, and
support gear. Your holster must be a Duty rig or Concealed

to age bracket, make sure you indicate your age on the
registration.
Spouse Activities…
An IALEFI® sponsored welcoming orientation gathering
will take place at the Omni San Antonio Hotel at 9:30 AM,
for our participant accompanying spouses. This gathering
will provide an opportunity for all of the spouses to get-toknow each other in an informal atmosphere over coffee and
refreshments, and to gather information on the many events
and activities that are being planned and available to them
throughout the week. There is no cost associated to this event
and everyone is welcome. However, should your spouse elect
to accompany you to the IALEFI® Awards Banquet which
will take place on Thursday evening, May 27th, then please
indicate so on your registration and attach an additional
$35.00 which covers the cost of the banquet meal, only. As
in the past, offered again this year will be a specially designed
course taught by retired Deputy Sheriff Layne Schultetus of
the IALEFI® Board of Directors. There is no cost to participate
in this course for the spouses, however, they will need to bring
and have available a secure belt and holster, a handgun, 150
rounds of ammunition, and as all of IALEFI®’s range programs,
a baseball type cap, wrap around eye and ear protection.
Space is limited for this program which will take place at the
range on Monday afternoon, May 24th.
Special Spouse Activity…
IALEFI® is pleased to announce that Renise L.H. Bayne of
No’Eau Associates, LLC, Waipahu, Hawaii, will be presenting
a four hour presentation entitled, “Left Behind: Preparing
for End of Watch.” Renise Bayne is the surviving widow of
Honolulu Police Officer Bryant Bayne, EOW July 21, 1995. Her
compelling personal testimony of her invaluable education at
the, “school of hard knocks,” is shared to shed light on the
aftermath following death notification. Have you taken steps
to ensure your family’s survival in case of disability or death?
This powerful presentation has been given to new recruits,
annual recall training, agency administrators and family
members. Renise provides a survivor’s point of view and is
shared with public safety officers and their spouses to make
sure they do, “take care of their own.” The presentation will
be presented on Friday, May28th, commencing at 8:00 AM
in Omni San Antonio Hotel Ballroom “E”, and will repeat
again at 1:30 PM that afternoon. As a spouse, this is an
extremely eye opening presentation that should not be missed
by any member of the law enforcement community.

This course is designed to assist the instructor in developing officers’ firearms skills
and knowledge important for Active Threat
Response. A brief overview of recent
incidents and current tactics is provided.
Emphasis is on live-fire exercises involving
pivots, shooting on the move, close-range
precision target engagement, shooting and
communicating, weapons transitions, and
working angles and doors. Team tactics are
included. The ability to demonstrate and
teach these skills safely is stressed.

B.U.G. Art: Backup Gun
Strategies for the L.E. Professional
Michael F. Boyle
NJ Division of Fish & Wildlife, Bureau of Law
Enforcement (Retired)
In a lethal encounter, ready access to a backup gun can mean the difference between
life and death. Officers may fall victim to
a disarm and even the best handguns can
suffer a catastrophic failure or otherwise
be disabled. Going to Plan B and continuing to fight gives an officer the means to
prevail against overwhelming odds. Many
officers routinely carry a backup but few
train under realistic conditions. This course
will examine the viability of the backup gun
for the law enforcement professional. Actual
case histories, B.U.G. policy and equipment
selection will be covered. Live fire drills will
include drawing and firing the backup with
either hand while maintaining control of the
primary handgun.
Student Requirements: Handgun and duty
gear and 25 rounds of ammunition, 150
rounds for back-up gun. Service pistol plus
backup gun. Ideally, the backup should be
small frame revolver or pocket pistol that
could be discreetly hidden on duty. Larger
handguns may be utilized in an appropriate
holster.
NOTE: IALEFI Corporate Sponsor Sturm,
Ruger & Co., Inc. will be providing a limited
number of .38 Special LCR revolvers to use
in this class.

Response to Ambiguous Close
Threats (ReACT) Position
Bill Campbell – Diane Campbell
NRA LEAD
Lon Bartel
Peoria, Arizona, Police Department
Each year, the NRA LEAD staff rubs shoulders
with some of the best firearms instructors
in the country and we take note of the very
best firearms drills we see. This class highlights 4 of the best drills we have seen in the
past few years. Each drill has a different individual concept, but all four are creative, fun
and easy to recreate back at your agency.
(These particular drills were also shown at
the last ATC, but classes were rained out.)
This course is designed to shape the startle
response into a motor program that provides
officers with a response that allows for a
quick transition from hands on or lethal
force depending on the threat presented.
Many times a close proximity threat will be
presented and it is not immediately obvious
what the threat level is. The wrong decision
on a force option could make the situation
more dangerous for the officer and nearby
citizens (i.e. accessing duty weapon when
hand on is needed). The ReACT position
allows for a rapid transition to either deadly
force or hands on with minimal risk of an
improper choice and the consequences that
could occur.
Student Requirements: None.
Justifying Your Firearms and

Student Requirements: Handgun, duty gear,
200 rounds of ammunition, rifle with 30
rounds of ammunition. NOTE: Rifle is optional for one of the drills.
The 1911 Pistol: Welcome Back!
George Clay – Ron Council
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Police Department
The 1911 pistol is once again moving into
the Law Enforcement ranks. This weapon
has recently gained great popularity with
special operations teams. This pistol may not
be the right choice for all Law Enforcement
Officers, but it does have its place in our
agencies. This course has been developed
to address several aspects of pistol shooting with the 1911 pistol. We will employ
a series of drills. We will look at the speed
with which a magazine reload should be
accomplished. The speed of the draw will
be explored. Off hand shooting will be
experienced. A method of cover drill will
be practiced. The intent of this course is to
make each student a more proficient handler
of the 1911 pistol.
Sgt. William Leanos

DSS Handgun Skills Test
Shawn Claussen
City of Bettendorf, Iowa, Police Department
The DSS Handgun Skills Test is designed to
allow an instructor to evaluate an officer’s
already established handgun skills set in
a continuous drill while using their entire
duty load out. The test is shot in 3 stages:
Weapon Hand Only, Support Hand Only
and Shooting Platform. The skill sets that
are covered include: trigger manipulation
and front sight tracking, proper use of
cover, malfunction clearance, one- handed
weapon manipulation, positional shooting,
and multiple targets.
Student Requirements: Handgun and duty
gear with 200 rounds of ammunition and at
least three magazines.
Scoped Patrol Rifle,
“What a Concept”
Ron Council – George Clay
Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, Police Department
There is a growing trend among the criminal
element toward the adoption of semi-automatic and automatic weaponry. A subject
armed with a high capacity rifle can terrorize
an entire community, causing mass fatalities
and secondary injuries. This can be illustrated
by the Narco Bank robbery, the San Ysindro
Shooting, the Miami F.B.I. Shooting and the
Palm Bay Shooting. The increasing number
of active shooters in schools and the increase
in officers being shot with rifles has also
lead to the need for Law Enforcement to be
armed with superior firepower. This course
is not intended to provide sniper training,
but to provide training and qualification to
those participating in order to provide this
option to our officers that may encounter tactical situations requiring a reaction
beyond the parameters of our issued side
arms, shotguns and basic patrol rifles. This
Scoped Patrol Rifle Course is designed to
provide officers at the patrol level with a
comprehensive sixteen hour course that
will qualify them to be proficient with the
scoped patrol rifle. Upon completion of the
course the patrol officer will have the ability
and confidence to effectively deploy the Rifle
with 80 rounds of ammunition.
Student Requirements: Scoped patrol rifle
with sling and 60 rounds of ammunition.
Handgun Shooting Precision
Brian Dickey – Daniel Nelson
Santa Barbara, California, Sheriff’s Department
To refresh “active shooter” and suicide
bomber skills/tactics and force shooter to
operate calmly under stressful conditions
with an appreciation of handgun caliber
performance versus anatomical ballistic performance.
Student Requirements: Handgun and duty
gear with 50 rounds of ammunition.
DS Arms FAL SA58 Rifle
Operator Course
John Krupa III – Vince Jamison
Spartan Tactical Training Group, LLC
This DS Arms – Law Enforcement Training
Division 4-hour training block focuses on
development of operator skills that are necessary to safely deploy the DS Arms FAL SA58
rifle during tactical operations and personal
defense deployment. The student will be
familiarized with nomenclature, method of
operation, gas regulator adjustment, loading / unloading and reloading, malfunction
clearance drills, combat gun-handling skills,
presentation from low ready, combat ready
and indoor ready positions, CQB applications
and much more.
Student Requirements: 150 rounds of new
manufacture .308 FMJ rifle ammunition. DS
Arms will provide all FAL SA58 rifles, magazines and slings for this course.
Developing Combat Speed
and Accuracy
Sgt. Todd Fletcher
Bend, Oregon, Police Department
Michael Hatoor, Larry Prince
Due to the short duration and quick timeframe of law enforcement gunfights, officers
must be trained to draw and present their
weapons in a condensed period of time.
This class provides some dry-fire drills to
help provide a solid base of knowledge and
skill. Using the foundation established by
the dry fire drills, effective live-fire drills are
introduced to maximize and test our ability to deliver shots with combat speed and
accuracy.
Student Requirements: Handgun and duty
gear with 100 rounds of ammunition.
Precision Pistol - Back to the Basics
Jeff Hall – Mark Peters
NRA LEAD
We have sacrificed accuracy on the altar of
“firepower”. We are training too many students to rely on the capacity of the magazine
rather than better marksmanship. We have
gone from 2.5 rounds fired per office per
engagement to 12.8 rounds; in an age of
liability, where we must account for each
round fired, its time to return to and emphasize fundamentals and improve accuracy in
ourselves and in our students. Only after any
shooter masters the fundamentals can he
progress to “tactical” this and “advanced”
that. This program will teach instructors a
series of precision shooting drills that will
emphasize the fundamentals of marksmanship- stance, balance, sight alignment, sight
picture, trigger press, follow-through, and
breathing. These drills will be fired from 3 to
60 yards (range permitting) with one hand
and with standard two-handed stances.
Student Requirements: Handgun and duty
gear with 200 rounds of ammunition.

Principle Based Active
Shooter Intervention (8 Hours)
Jason Wuestenberg
Pro-Active Training Institute
This 8-hour course will articulate why the traditional team formation tactics are not practical for active shooter response. Students
will be taught principle based tactics that
can be applied by as little as two officers
that will make the ASI team faster and more
effective against armed suspects in an active
shooter situation. This course incorporates
classroom, practical, and live-fire training.
Student Requirements: Handgun and duty
gear, 200 rounds of ammunition, Carbine/rifle
is optional with 200 rounds of ammunition.

Principals of Protective Services
Tim O’Rourke
S2 Institute
This program was designed to prepare those
seeking to enter the field of Executive/VIP
Protection services for the realities of the
industry and the challenges that they will
face. Through a balanced curriculum of both
classroom lecture and hands-on training,
students will be familiarized with the fundamentals and functions of a protective operation. Students will learn about the dangers
of relying on reactive skills over pro-active
