The 'Sabre' Sword T his his famous one handed battle sword was used as the primary hand held weapon of the Navy and Cavalry for many years. These Units made use of it’s strength, during the constant warfare that became a way of life for many years. The single front edged blade allowed ease and safety for the Holder. The cutting edge proving effective as a slicing, and cleaving instrument, in conjunction with it’s ability to be used as a stabbing weapon. he Sabre trade name utilizes the ‘French’ wording instead of the T he traditional saber pronunciation, in order to recognize the European training techniques that support s upport the frame work of the ‘Active - Defense’ defensive programs.
T he he Special Air Service of the British Army was formed during the 2nd world war, under the guidance of David Sterling. These units conducted long range warfare, and intelligence gathering against General Rommel’s Africa Korps. For years Units of the S.A.S. have been in the forefront of training and implementation of tactics during battle. In modern times the S.A.S. utilized groups known as “Sabre Units” in order to conduct Military operations. Sabre TTRR is proud to carry on the great traditions that lay behind the Sabre sword. We believe in our commitments, and pride ourselves on our dedication dedicat ion to all those who require, and demand, the highest standards. Sabre TTRR " Our Heritage is a Commitment to Excellence "

Or are describing shooting standards, and Tactical Paramedic programs. The wording 9/11- “Never Forget ” relates to the loss of Emergency Emergency Services Personnel, who were untimely murdered at the New York WTC. The meaning behind the logo is simple but effective. The Sword represents the Right of Justice. The Steel Gauntlets denote the Challenge of Battle against evil, and other wrongdoing. The Latin text found within the scrolls is translated into the following : Brute force without wisdom, wisdom, falls by it’s own weight. weight.

C.A.R. Center Axis Re-Lock
LAW ENFORCEMENT FIREARMS INSTRUCTOR INSTRUCTOR TRAINING 5 day (40 hours) This system is a new and powerful concept in Law Enforcement firearms Instructor training. The C.A.R. System simply out performs traditional training. This Instructor Course teaches Students how to implement the C.A.R. system to both Novices, and Experienced Students, who have been trained in the Traditional methods of shooting. The C.A.R. system incorporates the Combat Matrix of the 6 “R”s, and the Triad elements. These have been described as : 'Mind Set,' 'Gun Handling,' and 'Marksmanship.' In support of the triad, has been the balance of : 'Power,' 'Accuracy,' and 'Speed.' In a Law Enforcement application all these elements need to come together, when dealing with a task, or a critical confrontation. The C.A.R. Instructor training concepts bring together these elements in a new and unique manner. The C.A.R. Instructor course has been developed over a very long period of time by Paul Castle. Designed from a true understanding of how the Human body works under, or during combat crisis. The system was developed for reality, and true close quarter combat. It is not just a rehash of traditional shooting techniques. In several Countries the C.A.R. system is replacing traditional firerams training. Simply put........ this system works. The system offers teaching techniques to enable an Student to develop a higher level of Weapon Retention, than existing techniques to date. The concepts allow the Student to achieve high degrees of movement, speed, and an enhanced Shooting Platform, giving additional speed and accuracy on demand during a Crisis. Once again, simply put - it works!!!!
2. The Instructor Syllabus trains the Student in new methodologies that improve Basic Adaptation from beginner, to a proficient firearms user in a short five day period. This allows Basic Recruit Training Courses, the ability to build on the basic ‘Active-Defense’ philosophy of C.A.R. The techniques utilized through this concept, are equally effective when using small arms long guns, O.C. and impact batons. This is achieved by building on the Operator's Muscle placement and Natural Body stance. Combined with Fight and Flight reflex stimuli.
Note the shooting position does not interfere with full tactical vests, and slung longuns. These techniques are adaptable, in that the Operator may adopt either Small Arms or Long Guns as the Primary Weapon. Opting for a transition to a secondary weapon, if the situation requires it. Once learned these concepts will be a usable asset at all times, and for all weapons. This unique system was developed in Europe by the course Instructor Paul Castle. The system enhances weapon readiness, holster release, speed and accuracy, as never before. The system simply works better than any other system previously available for Law Enforcement and Military Personnel Instructor training. Radical in appearance, once trained in the system its sheer effectiveness is outstanding. Students develop higher shooting skills.
3. In essence this system works around the body shape, and eyesight strength’s of the individual Student. No more do we have to bend a Student around the shooting stance. The C.A.R. system is altered to suit the Student. The C.A.R. system features the teaching of improved marksmanship at long ranges. Instructors are given additional training to assist in developing Students who have a poor accuracy, and reduced weapon control during live firing. One of the developing facets of the C.A.R. System is it’s ability to produce quick, appreciative, and operationally relevant results. Students abilities to shoot, and defend themselves through a wide range of scenarios is increased. The skill core base is essentially obtained through working in harmony with our natural muscle placement, and the real effects on the Human body, when operating under combat stress environments.

The above graph is utilized to demonstrate the advantages of the C.A.R. System when training Students from mixed skill level backgrounds. The ‘A’ range details the immediate improvement in personal weapon retention, a reduction of recoil when firing the weapon, and ability to hit the target at center mass, while on the move. This quick adaptation generally takes no more than one session.
4. The ‘A’ area flowing into the ‘B’ area follows the improvement with continued use of Shotguns, Chemical Irritant weapons, and Impact weapons such as the ASP Baton. This is supported by the utilization of Small Arms while in close confines, such as Patrol motor vehicles. These two areas represent the vast majority of training techniques, required to be mastered by Students. The ‘C’ area is generally very much more specialized. Additional training programs are available to support this basic Instructor Syllabus.

C.A.R. Center Axis Re-Lock
LAW ENFORCEMENT FIREARMS TRAINING This system is a new and powerful concept in Law Enforcement firearms training. Although a small word, it’s significance is Stability. For many years 'Shooters' from all fields, Sport, Military, Law Enforcement, and Personal Protection Specialists have been trained on the methodology of modern day firearms techniques. These have become known as : THE COMBAT TRIAD. The Triad elements have been described as : Mind Set, Gun Handling, and the triad, has been the the balance of : Power, Marksmanship. In support of the Accuracy, and Speed. These elements must work together for success. In a Law Enforcement application all of these elements need to come together, when dealing with a task, or a critical confrontation. The C.A.R. concepts bring together these elements in a new and unique manner. The C.A.R. system has been developed over a long period of time by CASTLE. Born from a true understanding of how our bodies work during combat crisis. The system was developed for true close quarter combat, and not a rehash of old techniques that the C.A.R. system is now replacing. This system simply "works." The system offers the Operator a higher level of Weapon Retention, than existing techniques to date. The concept allows the Operator to achieve high degrees of movement, speed, and an enhanced Shooting Platform, giving additional speed and accuracy on demand during a Crisis. Once again, simply put - it works!!!!
2. The techniques utilized through this concept, are equally effective when using small arms, through to long guns. This is achieved by building on the Operator's Harmonious Muscle placement and Natural Body stance.
Note the shooting position does not interfere with full tactical vests, and slung shotgun. These techniques are adaptable, in that the Operator may adopt either Small Arms or Long Guns as the primary weapon. Opting for a transition to a secondary weapon, if the situation requires it. From a side stance, note that the Operator’s weapon does not extend out past his body silhouette. This allows integration from one mode of weapon to another, without changing body stance, or shooting positioning. Once learned these concepts will be a usable asset at all times, and for all weapons. This unique system was developed in Europe by the course Instructor Paul CASTLE. The system enhances weapon readiness, holster release, speed and accuracy, as never before. The system simply works better than any other system previously available for Law Enforcement and Military Personnel. Radical in appearance, once trained in the system its sheer effectiveness is outstanding.

LESS LETHAL MUNITIONS A SECOND CHANCE The use of less lethal munitions by Military Units engaged in peace time police actions, Law Enforcement Personnel, and Correctional Officers , is fast becoming a topic of discussion. There has been some resistance to these munitions, based on lack of knowledge through there being little available training. This coupled with genuine fears that the munitions will fail to achieve the required results, i.e. quick incapacitation of the target. Sabre Tactical Training has taught ballistic effects to the Military and Law Enforcement Communities since 1995. ( see hits v myths ). We are currently researching new and updated data in relation to ballistic performance, and which duty ammunition is realistically effective. With the assistance of A.L.S. and Remington Arms, AR. we are currently testing various munitions from MK Ballistics, and Guardian Protective services.
Our doctrines have always been centered around the real effects of various munitions fired into, and through, numerous mediums. From personal experience of hand gun ammunition wounding effects, it can be stated that no Law Enforcement small arms round, can be completely predictable in it’s effect on a Human Being. Each event is driven by circumstances unique to that situation. Therefore ‘X’ factors are always going to be present. The term ‘Less than Lethal’ has been presented as an alternative to ‘Lethal’ munitions, currently utilized by Law Enforcement and Military Peace keeping Units. It must be clearly stated that there are no munitions that will absolutely guarantee ‘less than lethal injuries,’ and still work effectively every time.
2. The term LESS LETHAL is, in our opinion, a better description. This is what we wish to impress through this training program. Less lethals offer a bridge or gap between obviously potentially lethal munitions, and those munitions designed to cause only enough impact to stop a Subject from continuing on. Information passed from A.L.S. Technologies, a leading manufacturer of less lethals, and provider of our munitions, suggests that there have been over Less Lethal munitions. This has resulted 4000 incidents recorded of the use of Less in only two recorded deaths, where the Subjects were struck center mass with multiple shots. The statistics clearly demonstrate the term less lethal is an accurate description. This one day course, is designed to teach Students core ballistic knowledge, coupled with an understanding of the component parts of various munitions, and their performance capabilities. This updated use of force training session, offers hands on application and Less Lethal munitions, in live fire scenarios. practical usage of Less Although the use of 37mm weapons can be taught, concentration on Field / Patrol Officer ready munitions, such as 12 gauge shotgun shells are mainly featured. These less lethal munitions are immediate available to any Officer that regularly carries a duty shotgun. 40mm training is also available. In conjunction with Field / Patrol Officers, correctional facilities are also able to utilize their existing shotguns, with little or no additional expense. Hind sight is always 20/20. Less lethals may offer an alternative. In many cases we believe that less lethal munitions may offer alternatives in scenarios that have in the past, been labeled as “Police Assisted Suicides.” In circumstances such as these Subjects may indeed be offered a second chance, without placing additional risks on Personnel sent to deal with the scenario.
3. On conclusion of this course Officers are fully certified in the operational use, and technical knowledge of the capabilities of the munitions. This should enable an Officer to make a ‘ street decision’ as to the type of munitions required to be discharged. They will be able to determine what circumstances their use, is deemed appropriate, over standard issue ammunition.

F.I.R.S.T. RESPONSE FIRST INCIDENT RESPONDERS SAFETY TRAINING This syllabus has been designed and constructed to offer a training system that brings together a Multi-Agency emergency response, and improve it.
Although separate Agencies each with it’s own expertise, often at the scene of a serious incident, public safety requires a combined response from Law Enforcement, Fire, and Medical Personnel. Teamwork and mutual understanding is vital if maximum effectiveness is to be achieved by L.E.
Should a Hostage Situation develop at a Hospital or School involving serious injury, high powered weapons, and a fire itself, all Agencies would be required to combine their expertise to save lives, and property.
2. The F.I.R.S.T. Response syllabus offers Personnel the C.R.O.P.s containment system, in conjunction with Tactical Planning for S.W.A.T. and Field Patrol Officers. Teachers are also taught basic S.W.A.T. response tactics. These include coded communications for hostage scenarios.
This system has it’s roots based on situations that have occurred in the European theater , such as Northern Ireland . There all to regularly Terrorist situations, have brought about scenarios where the Fire, Police, and Ambulance Services have had to work together, and in very dangerous or unknown circumstances. Often under continuing additional threats. The aftermath of which has carried the additional burden of evidential requirements, Coroner's Inquests, and public disorder issues. These have to be considered as separate, vital issues. Following on, in many cases has been court litigation.
3. First aid, followed by Crisis interviewing skills, are crucial factors when information collation is vital. Lack of information being available to S.W.A.T. Teams may make a devastating difference. Students are trained in obtaining information from Witnesses who may be injured, as well as in shock. The time spent on information gathering can be limited. Interviews must be effective, and time proficient. Interviewing an injured Witness can be vitally important, when attempting to piece together an accurate picture of events. Often there can be problems when injuries must be treated as a priority, but critical time factors demand a fast interview. The right questions, asked the right way, may save further lives.
Mock Witnesses are utilized, displaying wounds similar to those that have been found inflicted to victims after scenarios such as explosive devices. The F.I.R.S.T. Response system is completely compatible with Joint Agency Responses, and has been designed specifically to deal with the aspects of : R First Responder Personnel. R Immediate First Aid. R Setting up of an Initial Control Point or I.C.P. R Tactical first response Negotiations. R Information Collation, and immediate tactical planning. R Public safety issues, including immediate area evacuation. R Criminal investigative requirements. containment of armed and dangerous Suspects. R S.W.A.T. containment R Improvised Explosive Devices - Recognition and reaction. R Media Access and Control.
Recently multi - agency critical incident scenarios have highlighted Agency responses, in particular communications, and difficulties with Joint Agency information collation. This system works in a crisis, and if deployed, will assist greatly with the Safety of all First responders, and the Public at large.

P.O.L.S.E.R. SEARCH TECHNIQUES
SEARCH TECHNIQUES FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT
This training course has been developed to assist Law Enforcement Personnel, and specialized specialized Security Officers , conduct High and Low Risk search operations. These Searches are conducted for a variety of purposes. This intense course offers options for Searching in connection with :
High Risk Search Search Low Risk Search Evidential Search Search Contraband Search Unknown Search Defensive Search Weapons of Mass Destruction The physical searching of a Human Being and their Home, Residence, or Conveyance, is a serious matter. It has often been a focus point for Civil Litigation, and or Law Suits in connection with a range of complaints. Often the legality of the search itself has caused the loss of a criminal case brought before a Court. In addition to many instances of injuries being caused to both Searcher and Searched Person. Any such search must be Legally Justified , or Consensual, and must follow any Laid Down guidelines issued in accordance with lawful Codes of Practice. The subsequent seizure of evidence has to be properly recorded and exhibited, in order to preserve the chain of evidence. Persons who conduct or order Searches must be aware of the appropriate codes of practice, and legislation issued in accordance with the Law. The options offered in this training manual, must only be considered if Appropriate and Lawful in the various circumstances that may be present.
2. This manual offers options based on the premise that the search is Lawful and or Consensual in its application. The course is designed to enable the Student to develop command band skills, in order to mount search operations of a tactical nature, ie. lost / missing children, as well as evidential searches. searches. Included in the training syllabus are counter improvised explosive device, recognition, and counter anti-handling device training. These include so called ‘Dirty Bombs’ such as NBC scenario’s. Mistakes in the Classroom can be learned from. On the street, we can die from them. Recently Law Enforcement Personnel have been targeted by home made explosive booby trap devices, hidden in flashlight casings. Students are trained in recognition of such devices, their individual construction, and effects.
Example of a Home Made shotgun Man-trap - a devastating implement and fortunately seized by Police before it could kill or maim .
This simply made device could create havoc, death, and severe damage. Officers are taught what not to touch. More and more incidents of I.E.D.'s are being reported. Officers need the knowledge being offered through this syllabus. A home made time bomb - for anyone with a grievance and a point to make ma ke
3. This type of device filled with simple match heads, is enough to cause death and damage. This is a very common device, and often treated very lightly. This type of device can be made in under 20 minutes. The Classic Pipe Bomb - easily recognizable
But how about this! this!
This is a complicated device, that once set in place, is hard to detect. Often the circumstances can dictate the tactics. Officers are taught to observe with a new outlook on so called, everyday items.
P.O.L.S.E.R. TRAINING CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
4. Unique to the P.O.L.S.E.R. Course syllabus is training for Non-Sterile environments. Students undergo training for searches of contaminated or non-sterile waste. Section elements are taught utilizing the A.S.P. Baton.
Experience has shown that excellent intelligence can be obtained from such searches. Often vital information is simply discarded and thrown away by Criminals without a thought for security. Originally designed for AntiTerrorist applications, P.O.L.S.E.R. is another weapon in the war on crime. Although a sometimes smelly experience, the training can bring about amazing intelligence. Often information is thrown out in the trash, that could prove vital to ongoing investigations. Masks and gloves are required items of equipment. Conducted utilizing actual trash these searches are as realistic as possible. Information is placed within each trash sack building into a comprehensive set of intelligence details. The information obtained is utilized at the end of a course, within a Role Play scenario , for Detectives and S.W.A.T. Personnel.
5. Forming part of the core curriculum is training for evidence retrieval. Within a role play scenario, unloaded firearms and simulated illegal narcotics, are thrown from a moving vehicle, along a route of up to three miles. This scenario has been designed to simulate the high speed pursuit of Criminals in a vehicle, who subsequently discard property.
Students are tasked with the planning, and then the implementation of a route search, in order to retrieve any evidence subsequently found. Specific areas covered are Team Safety, and preserving Chains of evidence at the scene of the “Find.”

URBAN SNIPER TACTICAL SNIPING FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT The S.C.O.P.E. Course has been designed and written to update current Police / Law Enforcement Snipers. It has also been designed to train S.W.A.T. Operators in Cross / Sniper tactics. This school is either run as a Basic school, or an Advanced format. The advanced format includes explosive window breaching charges, and advanced hostile target scenario’s. Often S.W.A.T. Teams train their Snipers in room entry / C.Q.B. techniques, techniques, but rarely are S.W.A.T. Members cross trained in Long Weapons usage. The basic course offers training for essentially non - snipers in the art of long weapons usage. The course also offers specialized specialized knowledge for both Sniper / S.W.A.T Operators in covert applications. Established Snipers will learn covert insertion / camouflage techniques and sniper / co-ordination / anti sniper techniques. This course will enable Essential Personnel to operate under difficult and unexpected conditions. The S.C.O.P.E. course instructs in the covert application of long / short term observations, and the deployment of tactical incident control points. These are combined in the C.R.O.P.s syllabus. Working closely with S.W.A.T., and Negotiation units the Sniper is the ultimate tactical response.

For many years 'Shooters' from all fields, Sport, Military, Law Enforcement, and Personal Protection Specialists have been trained on the methodology of modern day firearms techniques. These have become known as : THE COMBAT TRIAD. The Triad elements have been described as : Mind Set, Gun Handling, and Marksmanship. In support of the triad, has been the balance of : Power, Accuracy, and Speed. In a Law Enforcement application all these elements need to come together, when dealing with a task, or a critical confrontation. The C.A.R. concepts bring together these elements in a new and unique manner. Now Operators may have to wear full N.B.C. Hazmat environment suits in live combat scenario’s.
The C.A.R. system has been developed over a long period of time by CASTLE. Born from a true understanding of how our bodies work during combat crisis. The system was developed for true close quarter combat, and not a rehash of old techniques that the C.A.R. system is no replacing. This system simply "works." The system offers the Operator a higher level of Weapon Retention, than existing techniques to date. These new concepts allow the Operator to achieve high degrees of movement, speed, and an enhanced Shooting Platform, giving additional speed and accuracy on demand during a Crisis.

From a side stance, note that the Operator’s weapon does not extend out past his body silhouette. This allows integration from one mode of weapon to another, without changing body stance, or shooting positioning. Once learned these concepts will be a usable asset at all times, and for all weapons. This unique system was developed in Europe by the course Instructor Paul CASTLE. CASTLE. The system enhances weapon readiness, holster release, speed and accuracy, as never before. The system system simply works better than any other system previously available for Law Enforcement and Military Personnel.
