Blake Buchanan

Blake began his law enforcement career in 2011 in North Carolina. Throughout his career he served in both operational and administrative capacities within Patrol, Criminal Investigations, SRT, and Training & Standards. Blake finished his full-time career as the Unit Supervisor of a multi-jurisdictional narcotics task-force, while working collateral duty with the Department of Homeland Security’s Border Enforcement Security Task-Force.

Blake’s teaching/instructional career has ran parallel with much of his law enforcement career. He has served in various training roles to include, FTO/FTO Supervisor, In-service & SRT Training Coordinator, and as an instructor in firearms and tactics at the academy and in-service level, as well as regionally for various tactical teams and specialty units. Currently, Blake serves in a sworn/part-time law enforcement capacity as a Firearms Instructor, while working full-time for Centrifuge Training LLC.

Over the years, Blake has worked with various law enforcement/firearms related gear manufacturers within the industry. His expertise in lowlight and ballistic shield training has proven valuable for product design and R&D. 

Like everyone at Centrifuge Training, Blake subscribes to the ethos “always be a student”, and lives to that standard by attending classes regularly, continuously researching, and overall honing his craft.
