Sgt. Bret Pagnucco, Edmonton PD. CA, NTOA Lead Carbine Instructor

Title: Stress Inoculation within Firearms Training.

Summary

Attendees will examine the necessity to incorporate “stress drills” as a component of firearms training. Discussion will center on; the transition of officers from a “static qualification course marksman” to “combat ready armed professional”. Emphasis on mental and physical stressors safely administered upon shooters during firearms training in a controlled yet realistic environment. Program seeks to improve an officer’s ability to “think cognitively” under the stress of armed combat through the exposure to physical and mental stress during live fire exercises. Subsequent inoculation increases officer confidence and trains for armed combat, not the agency annual qualification course of fire.
