This class will offer an in depth, hands on approach to the art of Forcible Entry. It will cover the basics of the "Gap, set, force" technique, as well as expand on it with real world scenarios. Attendees will practice skills on forcible entry simulators, including confined space forcible entry, and low/zero visibility techniques. On scenes where seconds count, don't be delayed by poor forcible entry skills.
