FDLE Specialized High Liability Training
In response to nationwide events, the Florida Department of Law Enforcement (FDLE) Sworn Training Unit (STU) has identified an increased need within the law enforcement community for advanced, specialized training, particularly in dynamic firearm handling and tactical response.
Over the past several years, FDLE’s Sworn Training Unit has earned statewide and national recognition for its Active Shooter and Counter Ambush training programs. These courses are delivered at no cost to agencies and are designed to prepare officers for high-risk encounters and life-threatening scenarios. (Note: FDLE provides all training at no cost. However, hosting agencies are responsible for supplying their own ammunition and securing an appropriate training location.)
The FDLE Sworn Training Unit is composed of highly skilled officers from across Florida, each bringing extensive field experience and a deep commitment to law enforcement training. Their mission is simple: to provide life-saving skills that increase an officer’s chances of survival during critical incidents.
To view available courses, see the list below. To schedule a course, inquire about specific training topics, or discuss additional high-liability training needs, please contact the Sworn Training Unit at FDLESwornTraining@fdle.state.fl.us.
