One of our founding principles at EVR is to focus our efforts on education. Through our classes and training sessions, individuals can learn to defend their belongings, grow confident using a gun, and get the hands-on practice necessary to be a responsible gun owner. To take that training a step further, we’re introducing our Citizen’s Academy Training program.
What is a Citizen’s Academy? The purpose of this training program at EVR is to strengthen relationships locally within community organizations and their citizens. By delivering situational training exercises for civilians, students can learn hands-on what it’s like to be a police officer or deputy. Through lifelike scenarios, participants can learn how deputies perform their duties and respond to different situations.
The goal is not to teach individuals how to use a gun but instead, teach them about the critical and split-second decision-making officers must make regularly.
What to Expect in Citizen’s Academy
In this two-hour interactive course, participants can expect to learn about the unique challenges law enforcement faces in their profession. Through hands-on situational training, students understand how challenging the job is and work as community ambassadors for local law enforcement.
Some of the hands-on training participants will experience include:- Safe firearms handling
- Threat-assessments
- Reacting in potentially life-threatening situations
- Less-than-lethal options available to law enforcement
- And more
We welcome all community participants ages 12+ to attend this class.
