Each scenario room and outdoor vehicle pad is designed with training as top of mind. ForceTEC has designed each area to be as realistic as possible, with safe observation points for students, instructors or other authorized visitors. While the facility and equipment is of significant value, what sets ForceTEC apart from other training organizations is our ability to staff your training endeavor with qualified and experienced staff. In a very consultative engagement, ForceTEC can assist with scenario development and provide the following responsibilities:

• Lead and Assistant Instructor(s) – We built our team with current or former law enforcement officers, military and private security personnel. Our staff has decades of experience in use of force training and can support your instructors in multiple disciplines, including force-on-force scenario development.
• Range and Scenario Controller(s) – Supporting your own scenarios, ForceTEC can provide those “extra sets of eyes” to make the most of every training evolution.
• Safety Officer(s) – Ensuring that the facility is secure and safe to train with NLTA, we go above and beyond industry norms to ensure the facility is sterile from unauthorized visitors or observers, and most importantly, no student gets injured from easily prevented oversights.
• Role Player(s) – Trained personnel dedicated to the specific needs of any scenario they are supporting. No need to staff your own role players.

We look forward to supporting your students’ training needs and hope that ForceTEC can be a part of your organizations growth and success.
