The Firearms Training Unit (FTU) was established to address training
needs within the College Police Department related to the use of firearms.
Police Officers from the San Diego Community College District Police Department are required to
qualify with their firearms quarterly. The FTU provides training which includes tactical shooting,
critical response, and live scenario training. This training
provides officers with the necessary skills to be proficient with
their firearms in various situations.
Firearms Training Unit
The
Firearms Training Unit has a combined total of over fifty years of
law enforcement experience which they bring to the Firearms training
environment. Each officer on the FTU has attended over eighty
hours of POST mandated training to become certified firearms
instructors.
Our officers have the unique advantage of knowing the layout of all
of our campuses and District properties. This tactical
advantage, combined with the hours of training they receive from our
instructors, adequately prepares them to respond to critical
incidents should they occur.
Additionally, the
San Diego Community College Police Department implemented less
lethal capabilities utilizing the beanbag round and shotgun. This
provides the Officers with an alternate less lethal force option.
The Firearms Training Unit provides the necessary hands on training
with the shotgun and beanbag round utilizing different types of
scenarios.
