F.A.T.S.

The Firearms Training System (F.A.T.S.) www.fatsinc.com    is an excellent training tool designed to develop and sharpen a police officer's discretionary skills as well as reinforce conflict resolution abilities.

As our Society has become more violent - and the scrutiny on police officers more pervasive - the need for judgmental firearms training has become more prevalent. FATS utilizes digital interactive training technology allowing officers to develop decision-making skills by responding to real-life scenarios where force may be necessary.

To see when FATS will be in your area, please contact Donna Wagner with the League's Loss Control Division at 334.262.2566 ext. 125. Depending on availability, our FATS Coordinator, Chuck Burns, will deliver the system and provide instruction on how to use the equipment. Chuck Burns is not a certified firearms instructors (CFI). He will not, in any manner, attempt to teach the force continuum. That responsibility will lie with the CFI; and AMIC highly recommends that such training originate in a classroom and progress towards the use of FATS.
