The Law Enforcement Active Shooter Emergency Response (LASER) course combines classroom presentations, hands-on field training, and practical exercises to enhance law enforcement officers' capabilities in effectively responding to and stopping active shooter incidents.

Among the topics covered during classroom instruction are recent high-profile active shooter incidents that offer valuable lessons to law enforcement officers of all experience levels. The course also stresses fundamental considerations that can significantly improve response efforts. Further classroom instruction covers the planning and implementation of appropriate response measures used to achieve the primary goal of stopping a perpetrator to protect innocent lives.

This course's hands-on field training includes information on the mental and physical tools necessary to effectively and efficiently respond to an active shooter incident. Participants will observe and practice entry and clearing techniques tailored to various response team sizes and structural configurations.

Finally, the course features numerous practical exercises that employ simulation weapons to create a realistic training environment. These exercises effectively simulate an active shooter scenario, enabling responding officers to practice applying the knowledge and tools gained from the course to intervene rapidly in such incidents.
