This 2-day operator-level course provides students with the knowledge and skills to deploy ballistic shields with mobility, adaptability, and offensive accuracy—while maintaining weapon system reliability. Students will learn to effectively adjust and deploy the shield across a variety of environments, enabling them to engage threats with speed, confidence, and decisiveness. Instruction emphasizes weapon system manipulation, including clearing malfunctions with both hands, and operating in an offensive posture with both primary and secondary weapons. Training incorporates standing, kneeling, and prone shooting platforms, reinforced through extensive movement-based drills.
Although GIOTEX Solutions has no individual company affiliation, certain courses may be represented by a specific hard armor manufacturer. In such cases, training shields will be provided to each student for the training experience. Attendees are still encouraged to bring agency issued shields for comparative purposes and value.
