Click our patch to Support training america’s small town, rural, and underfunded law enforcement officers.
Task Force 70's mission is to equip law enforcement officers and agencies in rural and small jurisdictions with the critical skills necessary to more effectively recognize and respond to violent emergency situations. This is achieved through individualized training, a strong foundation in the U.S. Constitution, and support through purposeful facilities and resources. TF70 integrates these skills, knowledge, and facilities to enhance public trust in American law enforcement, particularly with officers serving the most under-supported and underfunded communities in America.

Task Force 70's mission focuses on two primary, inter-reinforcing goals: 1) enhancing the capabilities of under-resourced officers, thereby improving their ability to mentor colleagues who cannot attend TF70 training, and 2) building, enhancing, and sustaining public trust in the officers most frequently interacting with the public. TF70 aims to maximize the societal benefits by improving officers' skills in handling violent situations, thereby boosting their confidence. Research indicates that officers who are more confident in their abilities are less likely to make poor use-of-force decisions during rapidly evolving, chaotic emergencies. This skill enhancement not only increases officer confidence but also public trust in law enforcement's ability to respond appropriately to violent incidents, ultimately fostering greater public trust in law enforcement.

The desired end-state of students’ abilities after attendance includes the development of a constitutional mindset, where students understand and respect the foundational principles of governance and how it interacts with police-work in everyday operations. They will also enhance their tactical skills that are directly focused on critical life-saving objectives, ensuring that their capabilities align with the most pressing needs of their communities. Students will gain an understanding of implementing interoperable methodologies that are not only effective and scalable but also repeatable and sustainable, considering the realistic resources available and properly aligning priorities. Additionally, they will be mentored in leadership qualities that emphasize serving the people, navigating through bureaucratic challenges to ensure that public service remains at the forefront of their actions.

Task Force 70 executes its mission by consistently applying two specialized training courses designed to enhance the capabilities of America's patrol officers, detectives, and school resource officers, ensuring they are equipped to handle the current national threat situation. These courses include the Patrol Tactical Operations Course and the Patrol Hostage Rescue Course, each lasting five days. The training is conducted on-site at the TF70 facility in the Southeast US, providing an intensive and immersive learning experience. Importantly, these courses are offered at no cost to law enforcement officers and agencies. Additionally, TF70 reimburses the attending officers' departments for travel expenses, scheduling backfill, provides free training materials, and lodging during the course. This comprehensive support underscores TF70's commitment to serving American communities by strengthening law enforcement's readiness and effectiveness for our countries least-served communities.
TF70 is dedicated to enhancing the tactical capabilities of America’s law enforcement officers through its Enhanced Patrol Tactics Training Mission, offering two comprehensive courses at no cost. The first course, the Patrol Tactical Operations Course, spans five days, totaling 50 hours of intensive training. It focuses on individual skills crucial for small-town and rural law enforcement officers, including fundamental Constitutional application of tactics and high-risk close quarters searches and seizures, which are particularly relevant for officers dealing with high-threat emergency situations in a Constitutionally consistent manner. This course addresses the increasing encounters of small agency officers with such scenarios across the U.S., providing them with training in emergency active threat close quarters tactics, high-risk vehicle tactics, counter ambush tactics, and strategies for containment and isolation of evolving threat situations.
Following the foundational training, the Patrol Hostage Rescue Course builds upon the skills acquired in the Patrol Tactical Operations Course. Also lasting five days with a total of 50 hours, this course prepares officers for unexpected hostage rescue (HR) encounters, teaching them to handle active moving threats with mobile hostages in close quarters. It covers critical aspects like evading hostage-seeking threats, emergency in-vehicle rescues, active threat hostage rescue, and emergency rescues before SWAT teams arrive, ensuring that law enforcement officers are well-equipped to respond to high-stakes situations with precision and confidence. TF70's commitment to saving American lives is evident through these specialized, cost-free training programs that enhance the operational readiness of law enforcement officers across the country.
