FAILURE TO TRAIN = TRAINING TO FAIL

 Pinnacle Tactical provides world class law enforcement training to law enforcement agencies nation-wide at the lowest possible cost. Pinnacle Tactical provides training solutions derived from decades of combined experience planning and executing high risk missions. 

 Pinnacle Tactical understands and appreciates that not always does an off-the-shelf course have the desired effect for all organizations and is able to tailor training packages specific to your operational needs and environment. Our approach is to listen, identify and establish key learning objectives to develop the most appropriate and effective instruction available.   

 Pinnacle Tactical Solutions can bring most of our courses to your training site utilizing our Mobile Tactical Training Team (MT3) concept. Pinnacle mobile training teams are comprised of experienced tactical trainers.

 Emergency Casualty Care (4 hours) *

​This is a “no nonsense” 4 hour course designed for non-medical persons, such as teachers, event staff, corporations, hunters or private citizens. This course is adapted from modern tactical medicine as taught to our military and special operations law enforcement personnel. Concepts covered in this course include how to address immediate life-threatening injuries and treat the most commonly encountered preventable causes of death. This is NOT a typical basic first aid class. It will address specific injuries seen with penetrating and other physical trauma commonly encountered in catastrophic events. This course will also provide you with tools to survive a critical situation. Attendees should be prepared to engage in practical, hands-on exercises, which will leave you far better prepared to respond and react to critical situations.
