Two Man Active School Shooter Response w/ Paladin Response CQB Instructors | LEO TACTICAL TRAINING

Paladin Response instructors working with law enforcement officers (LEO) in Mt. Dora Florida on dynamic responses to mitigate an active school shooter situation with multiple shooters. Here we demonstrated an aggressive full dynamic close quarters battle (cqb) entry in our two-man active shooter response which was the overall theme for the officers throughout this training. Our focus as instructors was ensuring the officers quickly and tactically moved to the threat in the school and used speed to eliminate the active shooter without hesitation.

This was an impromptu demonstration run at the end of the second day of training and we would like to thank the officers in the video that stayed back to support us as instructors getting a full spectrum run after having served as the opposing force all day. Since we did not have the time to cover limited penetration clearing for this training, we chose to stay with the theme of the training for the officers when we executed our run.

Huge shoutout and thank you to @victorrodproductions for his amazing camera work throughout the training sessions with Mt Dora PD and his dedication to push through the hail of sim round bullets every run to get the content we needed for the training. If you need an amazing cameraman and editor, give Victor a follow.

The best analogy for an active school shooter/cqb situation is the hourglass. Once the first round is fired, the hourglass flips, and the clock begins ticking. An active school shooter situation turns into a fight against the clock with every grain of sand passing through being the equivalent of a human life for the response team.

Making a confident decision and sticking with that decision was a focus throughout this training to mitigate some of the problems that have been highlighted in police responses to tragedies like Uvalde and Parkland. Indecisiveness can result in giving the active shooter unnecessary time and power in the situation whereas on the flip side; if the response team decides a course of action quickly, moves aggressively but tactically to the threat, and engages the threat using simple spacing and angles, the active shooter will ultimately fold under the pressure.

At the end of the day this is an extremely important problem we must solve in this country and police departments around the country, while actively trying to improve their active shooter response training, are dealing with a myriad of issues that the common civilian has no concept of and how it relates to what they see in the media across a broad range of situations that extend even beyond active shooter response training. Everyone has an opinion on what “they believe” police should be doing after Uvalde.

What we do not see is enough people advocating in their local city and counties for more resources for training police. The reality is most police departments are so underfunded when it comes to training that the training directors must practically work magic every year to accomplish what they currently do. People need to stop complaining and gossiping to friends and family and get out there and support their local police departments because they need your help, not your disdain.

The officers we worked with in Mt Dora worked extremely hard throughout the training and it was clear they care about their community and their profession as law enforcement protecting and serving. For us at Paladin, this training gave us a whole different perspective from the inside to understand the challenges police departments are facing currently. For us at Paladin these officers more than earned our respect and admiration throughout the training and we encourage anyone that wants to help their local law enforcement and community to get out there and ask questions at your local government level.

Do you know what the training budget is for your local department that will be responding to your child’s elementary school? Does your local department need assistance to raise money for new gear or capabilities for their officers like rifles in their patrol cars? How much training does your local department receive for active shooter response/cqb? These are all questions each one of us are capable of not only knowing the answer, but we all have the power to change it by getting involved locally.

RUN NOTES FOR CONTEXT
• We are using simunition rounds, not airsoft/paintball
• We started this run with the ammo left on us after the last scenario of the day for the officers and Leroy Jenkins the run due to time
• We will 100% enjoy addressing troll comments with a narrated version in the future but encourage constructive feedback and questions
