About Counter Assault Tactics and Training

Vision Statement

My goal  is to provide effective concept based training to civilians and Law Enforcement in survival skills and Use of Force decision making.   I hope to continue to enhance public safety through refining the skills of both law abiding civilians and law enforcement personnel.   


There are many highly trained and professional firearms instructors and self defense instructors in our region.  I offer shorter duration training to enhance and refine your skill sets.  For continued, regular training I would refer you to a club, gym or other service provider.   I offer the knowledge of what I have gained over  27 years in law enforcement as well as the training before, during and after that time has provided me over the last 55 years.  I specialize in edged and improvised weapon concepts, and enjoy providing custom tailored training for individuals and small groups.  


I reserve the right to refuse training to anyone.  There is an expectation of maturity given the subject matter as well as being emotionally stable.  I am not a felon friendly training provider.   I have spent my professional career as an LE officer/Deputy  attempting to foster peace within our community.  If you have felony convictions, are pending criminal prosecution, have any arrests for person to person crimes, have a restraining order or  may accurately be described as being one of ill repute, please do not seek training from me.  I do check unvetted student's personal information including but not limited to their names, DOB and residential address to try and mitigate criminals from having access to the training I provide.  Some course training aids are restricted and unlawful for felons to possess or carry.   


 If you come across as  abusive, lacking emotional intelligence or creepy-weird I will kindly terminate our contract and refund any money pre-paid for services yet rendered.   


I currently work full time training law enforcement for a state training agency and also develop edge weapon designs through Grip Works Designs LLC.   My ability to provide training is limited due to time and not enthusiasm for it.  I strive to return calls and respond to email  requests for training  in a timely manner.  If we are able to coordinate time that works for training, I  will  provide the best  training I am capable of .   


I work with people with a wide variety of training backgrounds as well as physical abilities.  If you deal with physical disabilities or have special considerations and see training you are interested in, please get ahold of me to discuss how the curriculum might be offered for you.


My commitment to promote public welfare

I seek to promote and offer high level training tailored to a female audience who might not typically be the inclined to sign up for a tactical training  yet still want to learn  tactics that can help foster their own safety.   

Trainings are Tailored to the Customer

Counter Assault Tactics and Training is committed to providing high level training  to Law Enforcement and Law Abiding Citizens in areas which include:  

Counter Assault Tactics, Edged and Improvised Weapon Tactics, Use of Force Decision Making, Arrested and Control tactics, Residential House Clearing/ Building Search/ Parole and Probation Safety Movement- Field tactics, Residential Fortification (urban and rural), Safety Planning and Firearms Training.


I offer trainings at customer's' homes as well as customer provided venues in order to demonstrate clearing /searching and  fortification tactics for Residential Security.  I offer assisting people assessing and making safety plans for areas or routes they commonly frequent in the community like walking or jogging routes.  


I offer specialized training for Parole and Probation Officers in all of the aforementioned areas including home visits, office visit safety, arrest and control tactics and general officer safety.  I can also provide  advanced firearms training for P&P including Shooting from Unconventional Positions, Concealed carry considerations, shooting while moving, working in pairs and active threat response.   


Tactics shown are varied based on student background and there are LE concepts I will only teach to other LE personnel who remain in good standing.  


I use DPSST number, Names and Date of Birth as well as CCH information provided by students to cross verify they meet basic clearance expectations to obtain training and information through Counter Assault Tactics and Training LLC.


I do require every student reads, understands and signs a liability waiver prior to training which will be retained by Counter Assault Tactics and Training LLC.
