Please note that this will not be the full Less Lethal Instructor Course. This course will only be for Distraction Devices, Chemical Munitions and Less Lethal Impact Munitions.  OC instructor is not included.

Each of the three class modules focuses on a different subject and includes a half-day of lecture-based studies followed by a half-day in the field for deployment drills.  Unique to this class - the state-of-the-art deployment tactics come direct from the manufacturer of the products used.

In each topic, the student will receive a CD containing presentation materials and videos to be utilized by the student when training in their own departments.
