Law enforcement training
A division of Center Mass since 1998, launched with three schools: basic police sniper, patrol rifle instructor, and the nation's first active assailant response school.
Officer survival — and everything that follows.
Most programs blend academics, case law, fundamentals, de-escalation, tactics, stress inoculation, accuracy standards, mental health, leadership and instructor development, to produce well-rounded professionals.
Past students have used what they learned here in deadly-force encounters to justifiably stop threats and save lives. Center Mass is proud that none of its past students has been killed in the line of duty.
Can we host a school at our agency?
Yes — and host agencies receive free slots.
Will you travel outside Michigan?
Yes. Classes have been taught from California to Florida and everywhere in between.
How often do instructors re-certify?
Every three years. See the training policies.
Upcoming schools.
Prices are the per-student fee only; ammunition, travel, lodging and food are extra. Courses are registered for recognition under Michigan's Public Act 302 of 1965 and Continuing Professional Education.
