Mobile Threat Interdiction (Vehicle CQB)
This two-day Mobile Threat Interdiction course is built from the ground up for law enforcement professionals who must confront threats in and around vehicles. Whether responding to high-risk stops, felony apprehensions, warrant service, or ambushes, your ability to fight, control suspects, and survive inside and around a vehicle is mission-critical.
This course blends firearms, tactics, and close-quarters combatives into one comprehensive program designed to sharpen your survivability under real-world stress. You’ll learn to fight from inside a vehicle, transition effectively between weapons, use vehicles as concealment, and prevail under extreme violence of action.
Students will also learn Vehicle Combatives, focusing on how to grapple, control, and defend inside the confined space of a vehicle. Using seat belts, door frames, and natural vehicle hardpoints, you will be trained to counter edged weapon threats, maintain firearm retention, and gain the advantage during violent close-contact encounters.
