Patrol Rifle Instructor & Armorer School (M4/M16/AR15 Type Rifles)

Law Enforcement Agencies are deploying or are in the process of issuing carbine rifles to Field Supervisors, Field Officers, and Tactical Units.  With that comes the need of having qualified Armorers or Rangemasters to service and maintain these weapons on a regular basis, as well as teach officers in the employment and use of these firearms.  This course covers all M16/AR15 type weapons systems made.  Armorers will be Factory Certified in the proper maintenance, care, and repair of these weapons systems, including semi-auto and select-fire trigger systems.  Patrol Rifle Instructors will be Factory Certified to teach other Peace Officers in all aspects of the use and care of these weapon systems.   This program follows the Manufacturer’s guidelines and is taught by FBI and NRA Certified Instructors.
