It is well-established that our performance and leadership success is profoundly connected to our emotional well-being and physical health. Building on Colonel Boyd's OODA Loop and Reversal Theory, this workshop provides a set of comprehensive Situational, Cognitive, and Emotional dominance tools to activate positive and critical emotional intelligence attributes.

Derived from over 70 years of combined education, research, consulting, and training for the military, academia, Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) and others, these tools strengthen our psychological hardiness and manifest courage, control, and commitment, initiating a positive psychological mentality for maximized resilience, well-being, and leadership performance.

This course is designed to expose police personnel (supervisors, tactical and task force team leaders, detectives, etc.) to procedures used for tactical mission planning and briefing of involved personnel. Topics include mission planning; documentation; operational planning for high-risk search warrants; scouting procedures for mission planning; primary, alternate, contingency, and emergency planning; suggestions on how to modify high-risk search warrant planning to other types of tactical missions (open area operations, barricaded subjects, arrest warrant/fugitive apprehension, and hostage barricade situations); and much more. Ensuring that a comprehensive but efficient briefing system is in place will be a course outcome. NOTE: This course is not a scouting course, we will make assumptions that the scout has been completed and has provided you the information needed to develop a tactical plan. This course is not a tactics course. We will dictate various tactics to use on some missions to demonstrate the flexibility of the briefing process.

Tactical diagramming is a technique used to determine floor plans by using outside architectural features such as doors, windows, vents, ducts and even the shape of the building itself. Using simple concepts like working from large to small and confidence to ambiguity, students gain knowledge, skills and abilities on how to identify architectural features that provide reliable clues to the locations of interior walls, the types and sizes of rooms and even the location of appliances and wall switches. The course begins with a broad overview on terrain analysis with a focus on urban terrain and the contribution of a reliable floor plan for planning and decision-making. It continues with an explanation of building principles, which heavily influence how residences are constructed. The course will also identify how to diagram houses that have additions or been remodeled, have upper-stories and even structures with multiple-dwellings. The course completes the formal instruction with methods for obtaining reliable intelligence, especially photographs, to enhance the detection of subtle architectural features. The final period is focused on a practical application where students work with each other and instructors on either a class project or using their own photographs, of an actual target location.

Tactical Team Workshops are either 3- or 5-day training sessions and involve one or more NTOA instructors on site, working directly with the tactical team in a training environment. The unique program allows the team to choose what topics to focus on, and those topics can vary throughout the training sessions, as there is no set agenda. The instructors may conduct classroom presentations if desired by the team, but the primary objective is to conduct practical training. Instructors may develop brief training scenarios and provide feedback, facilitate drills and evolutions to enhance team and individual skills, and much more. Instructors are available to discuss any topic that the team members choose. The Tactical Team Workshop is not a formal team review and does not result in the preparation of a formal analysis or comprehensive report.

Pricing is customized based on location, number of instructors and workshop length. For further cost information please complete the request for proposal.
