Applied Urban Sniper™ challenges the historical applications of a SWAT Sniper by applying a pragmatic approach to the role of modern-day snipers in law enforcement operations. This class challenges participants to think outside the box and explore how to expand the utilization of snipers in SWAT operations.

Applied Urban Sniper™ is an advanced, accelerated course designed to enhance the skills of modern law enforcement snipers through realistic and mission-focused training. The class emphasizes hasty deployments, overt and covert operations, undercover (UC) and confidential informant (CI) overwatch, as well as vehicle hides and related operations. Participants will also engage in detailed examinations of duty round performance when shooting through vehicle glass from overwatch positions, providing critical insights into real-world applications. Throughout the course, students will perform dynamic drills both individually and as part of two-person teams, fostering adaptability and teamwork in complex scenarios. This rigorous training prepares participants to effectively respond to the diverse challenges faced in urban and tactical environments.

It's Fundamentally Reshaped How I Train

Centrifuge is far more than a vehicle firearms class. It fundamentally reshaped how I train as an end-user but also a trainer and program manager. Centrifuge is in the business of slaying sacred cows with data, human performance factors, and repeated real-world success. I will continue to look to Centrifuge for premier LE-centric training.
