The Low Light Shooting Instructor Training Program
(LLSITP) is a 3 day (24 hour) train-the-trainer designed to prepare and certify firearms instructors to deliver a Low Light Shooting course to their agency.
Whether you are instructing rookies or veteran officers, if involved in a shots fired incident, it will most likely be in low light conditions. Between 1983 and 1992, 72% of all assaults and 62% of officers killed nationwide were between 6:00 pm and 6:00 am. The most dangerous time was between 8:00 pm and 4:00 am.
The purpose of the Low Light Shooting Instructor Training Program is two fold; first, to help firearms instructors develop shooting techniques necessary to become proficient during low light shooting exercises and second, to be able to teach those techniques to your fellow officers in a safe and practical manner.
NOTE: This is not a course for learning how to be a firearms instructor. It is intended for those who have already completed a Firearms Instructor Course, Methods of Instruction Course, or Use of Force Instructors Course.
