The Mk 56 boasts a window size over 1.75x larger than the standard HWS models. This sight provides rapid 1X, precision targeting out to 2,000m. The Mk56 was rigorously tested against competing products and was selected by all of SOCOM, to be the next generation crew served optic. HHS I For the infantryman, target ranges vary in ever-changing battlefield conditions. The HHS provides a solution for engaging threats in CQB situations, then quickly transitioning to a 500m targeting or surveillance situation, and then quickly back to a 25m room clearing exercise. Instant transition is achieved through a quick Switch-to Side (STS) mount that offers a simple, quick disconnect feature to remove the magnifier and base. This durable, night vision compatible system offers wide field optical performance with superior light transmission for visibility in extreme low light conditions. WL1-AA The WL1-AA is the first tactical weapon light to offer powerful performance on readily available AA batteries.

BALLISTIC SHIELD DEPLOYMENTS Nick Kokot Held At: Macomb Community College Police Academy 21901 Dunham Road Clinton Township, MI 48036 Think of the ballistic shield as a dynamic, portable ballistic corner, between the law enforcement agent and the suspect. The ballistic shield has traditionally been taught to be deployed in a slow, thorough and methodical, defensive tempo. This block of instruction WILL NOT focus on utilizing the ballistic shield in a “defensive” manner. Rather, this block will expose the attendee to the offensive capabilities of the ballistic shield in close quarters conflict. This course will introduce the attendee to the unique dynamics and options associated with ballistic shield applications during critical incidents. Attendees will also receive recommendations on the equipment and ancillary equipment options. It is recommended that a minimum of two (2) members per agency attend, as the curriculum stresses the operation of a two (2) man element when deploying a ballistic shield. Instructor Bio: Nick has been a police officer with the East Chicago (IN) Police Department for over seventeen (17) years. He has served in the capacities of patrol officer, tactical deployment unit member, Field Training Officer (F.T.O.), and firearms and tactics instructor for his department.

DEF TECH SPECIALTY IMPACT MUNITIONS INSTRUCTOR PROGRAM Def Tech Staff Held At: Macomb Community College 21901 Dunham Road Course description: • Weapons and munitions: 12ga./37mm/40mm/hand delivered. • Tactical consideration in the use of impact munitions in crowd-control/ dynamic-entry/hostage-rescue/ barricaded-subject situations • Physiological/psychological effects • Criminal and civil liabilities/policy and procedures • Instructor development to establish in-house/in-service training and documentation skills Required Equipment: Eye and ear protection Duty gear normally utilized when deploying specialty impact rounds Flame-resistant gloves Gas mask Gas Launcher 37mm / 40mm (Mandatory) One or Both DIRECT ACTION T PISTOL D OU Dave Spaulding SOL • Liability consideration/policy and procedures Held At: Selfridge ANG Base • Blunt trauma/ballistics and energy Course description: Law enforcement use of the handgun has traditionally been reactive/reflexive in nature due to court rulings that require deadly force to be “reasonable based on the circumstances at hand”. This requirement means the officer is most likely responding to the action(s) of a suspect as a situation unfolds second by second. The offender could drop the gun and give up or turn and fire at a moment’s notice. SWAT use of the pistol is still subject to such legal requirements, but the pistol’s application is more offensive in nature due to entry/raid applications. This 8 hour course of instruction is directed specifically at the SWAT/Tactical officer and will deal with the use of the semiautomatic pistol in a team-based CQB environment, working in and around team members. • Instructor development to establish in-house/in-service training and documentation skills Def Tech Chemical Munitions Instructor Program CN/CS/OC/ Smoke Def Tech Staff Held At: Macomb Community College 21901 Dunham Road • Types and forms of chemical agents Tactical consideration in the use of chemical munitions in crowd-control/ barricaded-subject situations • Live Deployment of barricade penetrating rounds • Decontamination/first aid • Proper use of Protective Mask Subjects allowed: covered based on - The “Essentials” of combative pistolcraft - Situationally dependent ready positions time COURSE DESCRIPTIONS - Draw stroke from thigh/chest rigs - Shooting on the move versus shooting then moving - Hostage/suspect precision shooting - Weapon transition - Reduced/inconsistent light engagement (if facility permits) - Critical Space (extreme close quarters) shooting techniques - Team movement and live fire engagement Required gear: Standard call out gear including gloves, head gear, chest rigs, etc. 500 rounds of ammunition, duty handgun, holster, 3 magazines, eye and ear protection.
