11 students from around the state of Alabama gathered at the Henry County Sheriff’s Office Training Center this week for the Alabama Tactical Officers Association - Basic Tactical Operators Course. The students for this course were awarded scholarships from the ATOA and were able to attend completely free, including boarding.

With way over 40 hours of constant training from 4 instructors, these students put in some hard work to complete this course. The students learned everything from small unit CQB tactics to firearmarm skills and even earned their distraction device and chemical munitions certifications from CTS.

This course would not have been possible without Eric Blankenship leading the way and his deputies from the Henry County Sheriff’s Office providing top-tier instruction.

Without our course sponsors, this course would not have been possible. Thank you for providing equipment and support for these students to use during this week and be able to take back to their departments to use on the road.
