This week, the advanced academy trainees completed fi****ms training at the gun range, where they acquired the fundamentals of pistol and rifle marksmanship under the guidance of our expert fi****ms instructors. The training covered pistol-mounted optics, pistol grip, trigger control, positional shooting, and patrol rifle tactics.

The course of fire shown in the video is the 1,000 yard drill, designed to simulate an officer’s use of their weapon effectively while experiencing physiological responses consistent with high stress situations.
