Instructor
Chris Schaefer
That's right that's me keeping people from walking in front of a bus! Someone had to do it. Law Enforcement introduced me to firearms and how unforgiving the world can be. It was then I became a life long student of firearms and tactics.
Bio-Resume
I have over 23 years in law enforcement I spent most of my time on patrol and teaching new police officers how to become safe and effective law enforcement officers. It was as a training officer that I developed skills in observing and recognizing strengths and weaknesses and adapt training to best suite the student and accelerate their learning so to pass the FTO (field training program). I also was part of motorcycle division, CO. K, or called the "4boys."
Formal education in Economics, Psychology, and Liberal Arts.
