ARRIVAL | Monday, December 4

Trainers, operators, and commanders from the fields of Law Enforcement, Corrections, Security, and Military joined together once again for the Annual U.S.N.S.T.A. Tactical Training Seminar in Tunica, MS on December 5-8, 2011. Attendees spent four days developing instructor and operator skill sets in a variety of training topics spearheaded by Controlled F.O.R.C.E. Training Management Systems.

United States National Standards of Training Association (U.S.N.S.T.A.) is dedicated to working to solve critical issues faced by our nation’s first responders. This year’s training seminar, the association’s 12th annual event, was designed to improve the first responder’s ability to remain confident and operational during critical situations with a determined offender(s). Training covered content including controlling and arresting non-compliant subjects, tactics to survive a surprise attack, and responding to a spontaneously occurring critical incident with an active shooter threat.

Attendees poured in on Sunday evening for early check-in. In addition to a complimentary U.S.N.S.T.A. t-shirt and conference packet, attendees received a gift bag with items donated by US Peacekeepers, Seal1, Controlled F.O.R.C.E., Market America, and Kaeser & Blair. Anyone not checking-in on Sunday did so on Monday morning. Throughout the week, all attendees were required to sign-in in the morning and after lunch.
