Gryphon Group Law Enforcement Training Programs

LAW ENFORCEMENT TRAINING PROGRAMS

The men & women of the law enforcement community in the United States

are the best in the world. They are on the cutting-edge between the enemies

of freedom on the streets of our nation and its citizens.

In the 21st Century, the internet, smart phones, and the social media

revolutions have caused the civil environment in the United States to

become more and more anti-authoritarian & militant. Violence similar to

that experienced in the 1960’s, is again on the rise across the nation.

On average, one law enforcement officer is killed in the line of duty in the U.S.

every 61 hours and more than 20,000 police officers have lost their lives in the line

of duty since the first known line-of-duty death in 1791, according to the National

Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.

Gryphon Group is considered one of the top combat pre-mission training

company’s in the world. Since 2001, we have trained over 35,000 American War-

fighters, Special Operations Operators, Military Intelligence Personnel, and

Federal Agents.

Over the last 18 years, the majority of our clients have been the

military special forces and military intelligence communities. These

men & women find themselves in highly fluid and unpredictable

dangerous environments that are very similar to the circumstances

that many law enforcement officers find themselves in on street

every-day in the United States.

ANNOUNCEMENT: In 2020, we are proud to announce that Gryphon is now offering the same world-class

training to America’s law enforcement professionals that we have provided to Army Special Forces Teams,

Navy SEAL Teams, Marine Special Operations Teams, the U.S. Marshals, FBI Special Agents, and many

others over the years.

These law enforcement officer programs are significantly better than most other courses in the

industry.

Gryphon Law Enforcement Training Programs are focused around five real-world areas:

1. Being ready for the unexpected

2. Practicing tactics worse-case scenarios in very realistic conditions

3. Surviving close-proximity unexpected attacks

4. Enhancing Police Canine Capabilities

5. Stopping hemorrhaging after being shot or stabbed until EMTs arrive

3-Day

Police Canine – Tactical Combat Causality Care Course (#LEOTCCC-0902)

Gryphon’s Canine-TCCC training is offered in partnership with Dr. Janice

Baker, the founder of the Veterinarian Tactical Group, who are the leading

providers of this type of training in the United States.

The ability to render these life-saving techniques to the Officer’s Canine Partner after it is

wounded during a gun-fight or knife attacks is a vital skill-set for a Police Canine Team.

Gryphon’s 3-Day Police Canine - Tactical Combat Casualty Care Course has

four focus areas:

Canine Physiology: Knowing the normal vital signs, behavior, and when to treat life

threatening injuries in working dogs is paramount to the survival of the dog, team, and

mission. Students will learn how to conduct a primary and secondary survey of

working dogs in the field with an emphasis on assessments in hostile and austere

operational environments. Students will have a brief of working dog injuries,

assessment and treatment of shock, and maintenance of the working canine.

Common Wounds & Mechanisms of Injury: Working canines present a unique pattern

of injuries whether ballistic or blast injury. We will cover all injuries sustained by working

dogs in the field based on injuries seen in combat in Afghanistan, Iraq, & Syria as well as

during Police actions here in the United States. Students will learn how to assess, treat,

and monitor life threatening injuries in working canines.

Canine Trauma Management: C-TCCC is derived from the human TCCC

guidelines and adapted for the uniqueness of canine anatomy and physiology.

Using the MARCHE algorithm, successful point of injury care and long-term

treatment during evacuation to the veterinarian has been proven by canine

handlers and human medical professionals alike.

Treatment of a Wounded Canine during a Police Action Scenarios:

Students will receive hands-on, in-depth instruction with scenarios

focusing on injured working dogs in hostile operational work

environments.

Scenarios will cover skills taught over the previous days. In hostile

environments, minutes count, we will incorporate all skills from point of

injury through each phase of treatment until we arrive at the combat

hospital or the veterinary treatment facility.

$899 per Officer:

6 Students Minimum to form class.


3-Day Police Officer – Counter Ambush Training Course (#LEOCAT-0903)

Gryphon’s counter-ambush training is battle-tested & combat proven. This course

focuses on recognizing & avoiding potential ambush situations.

If an ambush cannot be avoided, this course will allow each

Officer to experience these types of ambushes in very realistic

unpredictable conditions.

Each Officer will fight their way out of ambush scenarios that

have actually occurred in the United Sates to Police Officers

during force-on-force drills and live-fire drills.

Recent events

clearly demonstrate the vulnerabilities of Police Officers when

faced with a determined criminal in an ambush scenario. All too

often, Officers lack sufficient counter-ambush training to

determine the best course of action to survive in the initial moments

of an unanticipated ambush-style attack.

Gryphon Group draws on a deep history of nearly two decades

conducting counter-ambush training for military and federal

agencies directly involved in the global war on terrorism.

Coupled with real world experience, Gryphon is able to present the training in a scenario-based format that

immerses the Police Officer in simulated real-world ambushes and identifies strategies for avoiding or countering

these types of attack.

Gryphons Groups 3-Day Police Officer Counter Ambush Training includes, but is not limited to:

1. Understanding the Composition and Form of Ambush Attacks

2. Recognizing the environment as a force multiplier for the attacker

3. Understanding the role of mobility in surviving ambush attacks

4. Recognizing the importance of the Initial Tactical Read

5. Understanding Sight Lines and Cover Lines

6. Establishing Single Responder protocols

7. Establishing Multiple Responder Protocols

8. Understanding the role of communication in Multi-Responder protocols

9. Live Fire Break Contact Immediate Action Drills for the Police Officer

10. Self-Care Medical Interventions for the Solo Officer

$899 per Officer:

Must bring duty gear & weapon.

Gryphon provides ammunition.



3-Day Tactical Self-Aid for the Police Officer (#LEOTSA-0904) Just like a Soldier on the battle-field, an Officer’s ability to stop the hemorrhaging

of a gun-shot wound or knife attack on themselves or their partner, can mean the

difference in living or dying.

Each officer will practice with CAT Tourniquets and pressure bandages

during simulated gun-fights trained by Special Forces Medics.

The Officer will assess for unrecognized hemorrhage and control all sources

of bleeding during realistic force-on-force scenarios and use a recommended

limb tourniquet to control life-threatening external hemorrhage that is

anatomically amenable to tourniquet use or for any traumatic amputation.

Each student will apply it directly to the skin 2-3 inches above the bleeding

site. If bleeding is not controlled with the first tourniquet, apply a second

tourniquet side-by-side with the first.

For compressible (external) hemorrhage not amenable to limb

tourniquet use, the students will use Combat Gauze as the hemostatic

dressing of choice.

Hemostatic dressings should be applied with at least 3 minutes of direct

pressure. Each dressing works differently, so if one fails to control

bleeding, it may be removed and a fresh dressing of the same type or a

different type applied.

All of the medical techniques taught will be practiced in very realistic

scenarios where the Officer must treat themselves or a fellow Officer

for a knife wound or gun-shot.

$899 per Officer:

Must bring duty gear & weapon – Gryphon provides Simunitions & Medical Kit.



3-Day Surviving Close-Proximity Weapons Attacks Course (#LEOCPA-0905)

Whether during a vehicle-stop, during an entry into a home during a domestic,

a search for a suspect, or while conducting an investigation, an un-expected

close-proximity gun-fight is a very real possibility.

These attacks are the hardest to counter because they come seemingly

with no warning and usually when we are focused on some task. Each

Officer will practice these types of fights in very realistic force-on-force

scenarios and live-fire drills.

A large percentage of Officers murdered in the line of duty are killed in

close proximity attacks, well within the reactionary gap. Although the

very nature of law enforcement requires officers to be in close

proximity to potentially violent offenders, there are tactics and

procedures which can significantly increase officer survivability when

an encounter turns deadly.

Building on decades of Defensive Weapons Training with elite

military and Federal agencies, Gryphon Group has helped thousands

of operators increase their survivability when working in close

proximity to violent criminals in the War on Terrorism.

“Surviving Close Proximity Weapons Attacks” examines the

precursor behaviors, responses to and relevant environmental factors

that affect the outcome of each armed encounter. Using a combination

of live fire drills and force-on-force scenarios, the officer discovers

that what “works on the range” may actually decrease their

survivability in a real-world encounter.

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Anticipated vs. Unanticipated – the Deadly Distinction

• Understanding the “21 Foot Rule”

• Speed of the Draw vs. Certainty of the Draw

• Movement as a Counter-Measure

• Shooting while Moving

• Understanding Sight Lines and How to Break them

• Pre-Incident Indicators

• Changing the Line of Attack as a Counter-Measure

• Case Law Review

$899 per Officer:

Must bring duty gear & weapon – Gryphon provides ammunition – 6 Students Minimum to form class.


3-Day

Law Enforcement Vehicle Operations Course (#LEOVO-0906)

Fatal traffic crashes involving Law Enforcement personnel remain the leading

cause of non-felonious line of duty deaths in America. All too often, law

enforcement agencies lack the necessary resources to conduct much needed,

life-saving driver training for their First Responder personnel.

Building on the principles of driver training each Police Officer receives in basic training, Gryphon Group’s

3-Day “Law Enforcement Vehicle Operations Course” addresses the “human factors” of driving while under

stress and adrenalin saturation, factors like loss of depth perception, loss of peripheral vision and a reduction

in fine motor control. Here are three key statistics:

1) Each year, there are approximately 300 fatalities in the U.S. that occur during police pursuits.

2) Just over 30% of the fatalities occurred to people who were not involved in the pursuit.

3) Police officers have roughly double the rate of the general public.

Operating a Patrol Vehicle is a point of vulnerability for all Officers. This course will focus on maintaining control

of the patrol vehicle under stress and in a fluid environment. The PIT Maneuver, Tactical Ramming, Weapon

Engagement from Vehicle, Accident Avoidance, and Advanced EVOC Techniques will be covered and practiced

in realistic exercises. Gryphons 3 Day “Law Enforcement Vehicle Operations Course” includes:

• Universal Principles of Vehicle Control Assessment

• Vehicle Control Refinement Drills

3-Day

Dynamic Entry Strategies for Special Teams (#LEODE-0907)

All SWAT Teams need quick, flexible methods to gain entrance to the target

suspect. This course will provide hands-on experience to mechanical & Shotgun

breaching methods that will be practiced in realistic exercises.

Whether securing a structure for a search, capturing a high-risk criminal or

rescuing a hostage, Dynamic Entry presents a major risk to Special Teams

personnel. Forcibly entering an unknown structure places the Special Teams

member at a significant disadvantage in the event of an attack.

Gryphon Group’s 3-Day “Dynamic Entries for Special Teams” examines

the techniques and strategies proven to increase survivability in these

circumstances. Gryphon Group capitalizes on nearly two decades of

training military and federal law enforcement special operations teams

from around the globe to examine strategies and techniques commonly

used to address dynamic clearing

At the core of this curriculum is an examination of the Human Factors

involved in successful dynamic clearing. Through a better understanding of

how the human brain processes information, the Operator is better able to

select the correct technique for each dynamic clearing problem they

encounter.

This course is conducted in Gryphon’s 4,000 square foot two-story,

completely furnished, force-on-force Building Search Facility and

incorporates trained role players in both the combatant and non-combatant

roles. Complete camera coverage of the facility allows for comprehensive

after-action learning.

This course addresses Strategies and Techniques from a successful breach

forward and includes:

• Intelligence Gathering and Mission Planning

• Developing Mission Briefing Packages

3-Day

Building Searches for Police Officers Course (#LEOBS-0908)

Clearing a building, one room at a time, while deep searching for a suspect, is

one of the most dangerous things an Officer will do during their career. This

course will deeply explore this tactical problem in very realistic drills with

role players and force-on-force drills.

Building searches present a major risk to First Responder personnel on a

daily basis. Whether as a result of a burglar alarm, an open door or a well-

being check, entering an unknown structure places the First Responder at

a significant disadvantage in the event of an attack.

Gryphon Group’s 3-Day “Building Searches for First Responder” examines the techniques and strategies

proven to increase survivability in these circumstances. Differentiating between tactics used by SWAT Teams

and Hostage Rescue Teams, this course demonstrates how an understanding of sight lines coupled with a

fundamental knowledge of clearing techniques can increase officer survivability.

At the core of this curriculum is an examination of the Human Factors

involved in successful building clearing. Through a better understanding

of how the human brain processes information, the Officer is better able

to select the correct technique for each clearing problem they encounter.

This program includes:

• Human Factors related to Visual Processing

• Slow and Deliberate vs Dynamic Entries

• Using Sightlines to increase survivability

• Close Proximity Shooting Techniques-Live Fire

• Incorporating the Flashlight into Building Searches

5-Day

Surveillance Operations for Law Enforcement (#LEOSO-0909)

This course will focus on physical surveillance techniques as well as technical

surveillance tools that will be utilized in realistic drills on real streets and cities.

Role players and realistic scenarios while help each Officer gain a deep

understanding of these type of operations and how to improve their performance.

Conducting successful surveillance operations requires a unique

understanding of human behaviors and operational tradecraft in order to

be successful. All too often, Law Enforcement personnel relay on “on the

job” training approach to learn the unique skills required for mission

success. This teaches the core skill sets of close-hold, non-contact physical

surveillance typically used in Vice type criminal investigations.

Gryphon Group draws on a deep history of nearly two decades conducting

surveillance and counter-surveillance training for military and federal

agencies directly involved in the global war on terrorism.

Coupled with real world experience, Gryphon is able to present the training

in a scenario-based format that immerses the student in the day-today

challenges of physical surveillance

5-Day

Advanced Police Canine Explosive Detection Course (#LEOCED-0910)

This intense course will expose each Canine Officer Team to a variety of live

military & commercial high-explosives in realistic scenarios. This course

provides a unique realistic experience utilizing Police Canines to locate and

identify explosives in buildings, vehicles, public transportation, and on queued

individuals.

During this five-day course, Law Enforcement Officers will cover all

necessary blocks of instruction needed to successfully place their canine in

the most advantageous location to detect a target odor if present. The

Officers will also learn the physiological effects air current drafts and scent

pools to help better increase the survivability of both themselves and their

canines. Officers will receive formal classroom instruction on vetted

tactics and procedures of canine integration as well as participate in

dynamic, hands on practical exercises in all areas listed below:

5-Day

Advanced Undercover Officer Survivability Course (#LEOUOS-0911)

Officers on “Under Cover Duty” have all of the threats that all Officers have

to protect themselves from plus a whole set of threats that most Officers do

not ever experience. Role players and realistic scenarios will help each

Officer gain a deep understanding of these type of operations and how to

improve their performance. The Human Mind is the primary weapon for

increasing the survival of UC Officers.

Undercover Officers routinely work in close proximity to violent offenders in a

manner that precludes them from being able to control distance. Conducting

clandestine meets in confined spaces such as vehicles and hotel rooms are just a couple

of examples where the undercover officer cannot adhere to the “21 Foot” or

“Reactionary Gap” rule.

Couple that with the fact that the undercover officer routinely carries weapons in a

concealed condition makes responding to a life-threatening situation even more

precarious. Although the very nature of undercover operations requires officers to be

in close proximity to potentially violent offenders, there are tactics and procedures

which can significantly increase officer survivability when an encounter turns deadly.

Building on decades of Offensive & Defensive Weapons Training with elite military and Federal agencies,

Gryphon Group has helped thousands of operators increase their survivability when working in close

proximity to violent criminals in the War on Terrorism.

“Survival Strategies for Undercover Officers” examines the precursor behaviors, responses to and relevant

environmental factors that affect the outcome of each armed encounter. Using a combination of live fire drills

and force-on-force scenarios, the undercover officer discovers that what “works on the range” may actually

decrease their survivability in a real-world encounter.

Topics include but are not limited to:

• Anticipated vs. Unanticipated – the Deadly Distinction

• Understanding the “21 Foot” Reactionary Gap

• Speed of the Draw vs. Certainty of the Draw

• Movement as a Counter-Measure Drills

• Shooting while Moving Live-Fire Drills

• Understanding Sight Lines and How to Break them

$1,369 per Officer:

Must bring a variety of plain clothes – 6 Students Minimum to form class.


5-Day

Advanced Police Sniper Development Course (#LEOAPS-0912)

Contrary to conventional wisdom, the Police Sniper often operates in much

more difficult circumstances than does the “military sniper” and with

significant restraints to their tactical decisions.

Police Sniper engagements often involve close-proximity shooting problems

on a public street in America, behind a barrier, or in a building involving

hostage-takers interacting with civilians while a SWAT take-down team is near

or in action against the suspect. In addition to these difficult circumstances,

the Police Sniper is heavily involved in “intelligence gathering” as they are

acting as “the Eyes of the Command & Control Team”.

More often than not, the on-scene Police Sniper is not “Green Lighted” to take

their shot until the subject has radically deviated in behavior, is in motion, and

with little to no warning. Gryphon’s Advanced Police Sniper Development

Course is strictly focused on what the challenges that the American Police

Sniper will encounter during real-world Police actions around the United States.

Gryphon’s Advanced Police Sniper Development Course is on-the-cutting edge of Police Sniper

Training and will entail 90% Live-Fire Drills & 10% Classroom on the following subjects:

1. SWAT Sniper training is too often modeled after Military Sniper Programs

2. SWAT Sniper engagement Distances are less than 70 yards

3. SWAT Sniper engagements require PID that precludes extended distance engagements

4. SWAT Sniper deployments typically involve urban and rural areas

5. SWAT Sniper engagements are typically “narrow window” engagements as it relates to time

6. Targets are likely to be in motion

7. All other means of resolution have been exhausted

8. SWAT Sniper team has been in place for an extended amount of time prior to the shot

9. SWAT Snipers typically find themselves in unconventional shooting positions

10. Engagements can include barrier penetration issues

11. Engagements often present issues related to over-penetration

12. SWAT Sniper engagements often involve mixed light/Low Light scenarios which create PID

Problems

13. SWAT Sniper engagements typically involve close proximity

shooting problems ie, hostages, civilians, take-down teams

Course Points of Focus:

• Short distance engagements with 100% accuracy-static target

• Short distance engagements with 100% accuracy-moving targets

• 100 % Accuracy through intermediate barriers – Windows

• 100% accuracy on Target PID Drills
