BTTP Course Details

This three-day, 24-hour Basic Tactics, Techniques & Procedures (BTTP) course is designed for patrol officers, Street Crimes Units, Narcotics Teams, Fugitive Apprehension Units, Criminal Investigations personnel, and other law enforcement professionals who may be required to respond to high-risk incidents, conduct warrant services, execute vehicle takedowns, or perform tactical operations under exigent circumstances.

Built upon decades of operational experience in patrol, undercover operations, SWAT, homicide investigations, and tactical leadership, this course develops the critical thinking, communication, and movement skills necessary to safely solve dynamic problems under stress. Rather than focusing solely on tactics, BTTP teaches officers how to systematically assess evolving situations, prioritize threats, communicate a common operating picture, and execute deliberate, coordinated actions that reduce unnecessary exposure while maintaining operational tempo.

Through reality-based instruction, practical exercises, and progressively challenging scenario-based training, students develop confidence in applying sound tactical principles to rapidly changing environments where judgment, communication, and disciplined execution directly influence officer and public safety.

Course topics include:

  • Tactical mindset and decision-making under stress

  • Information to intelligence: building a common operating picture

  • Threat assessment and prioritization

  • “Solve the First Problem First” decision model

  • Contact team leadership and coordinated movement

  • Threshold evaluation and limited penetration techniques

  • Hallways, corners, stairwells, and room entry fundamentals

  • Vehicle assaults, approaches, and emergency extractions

  • Tactical communication and team coordination

  • Tactical casualty care and rescue priorities

  • Immediate action responses to dynamic critical incidents

  • Scenario-based validation emphasizing decision continuity, communication, and purposeful movement
