Course Description

This program is designed to provide a Police Firearms Instructor with the knowledge, training, and skills necessary to develop an effective in-service training program for the AR-15 platform Urban Police Rifle. This M.F.I.- Rifle certification is complementary to our original Master Firearms Program and one of our 40hr courses (Police Strategy and Tactics) is an overlap between the two M.F.I. certifications. Just as the original M.F.I. program goes well beyond basic firearms instructor training; this program is designed to meet the highly unique teaching and policy development requirements for training and deploying an AR-15 platform rifle in a modern police setting.
