After meeting with the staff of Robotex Corp. during the 2011 International Breaching Symposium, they have agreed to send of one of their surveillance robots to incorporate into our training.

After deliberation, Alan Brosnan [President of Tactical Energetic Entry Systems] has decided to suspend the Explosive Handler & Breaching Course in Illinois for the time being. This is until we can resolve the ATF regulations for explosive magazine storage and
individual student licensing requirements. Until then TEES will still hold custom bookings for explosive at the Adamax facility. The Mechanical, Thermal and Ballistic Breaching Course And Mechanical Breaching Instructor Course are both still on board.

Developed as a response to request from agencies who are tasked to serve warrants, but wanted something less than a full tactical team course. This training fits the requirements of sheriff’s departments, drug tasks forces and buy/bust teams. The 3 days session centers on team skills in the shoot house along with breaching fundamentals, foot and vehicle approaches and prisoner handling. The first several months of 2011 saw some the highest casualty rates for law enforcement in recent memory. A greater part of these shooting occurred during warrant services. Sadly, a North Carolina officer was killed while serving a warrant just last week.
