Level 103 - This course is designed by current Law Enforcement, Executive Protection Agents, and Military contractors that have been using Red Dot sighting systems operationally for over 5 years. Raider Tactical was a part of the development team that designed the Red Dot for Law Enforcement and Instructor courses used in Washington State. All instructors for this course have assisted in red dot implementation for their current agencies. Additionally, they have been sought out by outside law enforcement agencies and high-level private security teams to assist in implementing red dot training for their respective units. Every Raider Tactical Instructor brings with them the highest degree of professionalism and dedication to training.
