response Planning for
critical incidents
enhanced carbine
of the future
Networking lunch
Ed Allen, Don Kester
James C. Johnson
This seminar provides a brief overview of
real-world, significant, critical incidents (Gabby
Gifford shooting and George Zimmerman
Trial), and the key lessons learned from each,
including the need for thorough operational
planning, appropriate resource allocation, and
thorough pre-incident training and exercises.
The MCX was a partnership-based project for
the Department of Defense and other NATO
clients that allowed the Sig Sauer Special
Weapons Development Group an opportunity
to showcase its capabilities for the broader
good of law enforcement and military
members around the world. The issues that
needed to be addressed were reliability,
accuracy, suppression, modularity and ease
of maintenance.
Network exclusively with other law
enforcement agencies and the editors of Law
Officer Magazine!

law enforcement
state-of-the-art aiming systems
Frank J. Martello
This presentation addresses the capabilities
of tactical magnified optics beyond just
hitting the target. The potential these optics
offer the patrol officer and SWAT operator
in the areas of threat identification, force
decision making, intelligence gathering and
enhanced effectiveness in low-light situations
transcends their primary role as an accuracy
tool. It also covers the use of reflex sights
on rifles, shotguns and service/off duty
handguns, their ability to double the effective
range of a service handgun, their usefulness
in mitigating the vision correction issues
experienced by all officers as they get older
and accuracy in low-light shooting scenarios.
8:15 am-10:15 am
recruiting and
retaining today's
tactical officer
Ed Allen, Don Kester
This seminar provides insight into the
mindset and values of today's tactical law
enforcement officer and why practices used
by agencies just a few short years ago no
longer work to recruit and retain them.
Discussions also include the qualities that
aspiring tactical officers should focus on
when applying for entry-level and leadership
positions within a tactical team.
®
This project created a mission-configurable,
reliable battle rifle for the user. What this
means to law enforcement officials is
their existing inventories can be upgraded
to deliver safe, reliable and effective
suppression-capable weapons. In this session,
learn how these compact variations of the
MCX can be configured in multiple calibers
and lengths that fit into tight spaces such
as the saddlebag of a motorcycle. The MCX
suppressed weapon shapes our ability to
look after the long-term health of our officers
through limiting hearing loss. With the
expanded demands of the law enforcement
officer, it is imperative to deliver a modular
weapon system that takes into consideration
the effects on the target and the officer. The
MCX provides an alternative to equipping
uniform and plain-clothes law enforcement
officers (when concealment is key to success
and safety). Law enforcement professionals
deserve a weapon that has the ability to
deliver the performance parameters of the
21st century in size, noise reduction and
reliability.

Development of PistonDriven ar systems and
their impact on law
enforcement carbines & rifles
Bob Schultz
AR rifles are now widely accepted in law
enforcement, fulfilling a role beyond their use
solely by tactical teams. This presentation
tracks the evolution of the AR system, its use
in law enforcement and the development of
practical piston-driven alternatives to direct
impingement operating systems with an
emphasis on the HK416 and its derivatives.
Topics covered include piston-driven systems
as patrol carbines and for tactical team use,
law enforcement and military case studies of
AR piston-driven systems, 5.56 mm and 7.62
capabilities, and the role of marksman and
precision variants of the law enforcement rifle
and carbine for the individual officer.

lessons learned
on building and operating a
gun range
Tim Holley
This session focuses on many of the
unforeseen issues customers, law
enforcement officers, range masters and
owners experience when operating an
indoor firing range. More specifically, the
presentation outlines material pros and cons
by showing real examples of types of target
carrier systems, bullet traps and ballistic
protection materials. Meggitt describes the
proper types of equipment to be installed
in shooting ranges, such as the suggested
target carrier systems for commercial ranges
vs. law enforcement ranges, steel traps
vs. rubber traps and many other pertinent
"lessons learned."
2:45 pm-3:45 pm
advancements in
illumination technologies
and their Positive impact on
officer Decision making
Kevin Skeehan
While many aspects of law enforcement
are hardly affected by technology (think
handcuffs), other aspects are greatly
influenced by it. Illumination technology
is one such area in which technologies
provide options never before available to law
enforcement professionals. The light source
itself (i.e., light emitting diodes (LED), arc
lights), the power density of rechargeable
batteries, optics design and materials have
all experienced breakthrough performance
improvements over the last five years. So
much so that it is allowing the development of
illumination products and applications never
before conceived.
This seminar details these advancements in
illumination technologies that are allowing
officers the ability to make better decisions,
which reduce the number of deadly force
incidents and in misidentifications in those
incidents.
