3 Ways Our Program Is Different

What Sets Our Law Enforcement Training Program Apart

At Team Hardy, we pride ourselves on offering a law enforcement training program that stands out from the rest. Here are three key elements that differentiate our program:


1. Tactical System

Our program features a comprehensive system of techniques that seamlessly flow from one to the next. This continuity and replication ensure that students maximize skill retention, build confidence, and enhance their problem-solving abilities in dynamic use-of-force situations. We emphasize the concept of constantly evaluating “the next best place to win the encounter,” bridging the gap between firearms, less-lethal options, alternate weapons, tactical decision-making, and defensive tactics training.


2. Liability Reduction

We understand the importance of reducing liability in law enforcement training. Our students are rigorously evaluated on their ability to physically perform essential skills needed for a ground tactics program. However, as a coaching program, we also focus on their ability to teach these techniques. This includes organizing students on the mats, structuring drills to maximize learning and minimize injury potential, and managing the number, pace, and quality of repetitions. Our goal is to document the totality of the training, not just the information presented.


3. Professional Development

Professional development is at the core of our training philosophy. Students are exposed to and expected to apply adult learning concepts and methodologies to their classes, maximizing their impact and creating a professional training environment. They are evaluated on their physical ability to perform the skills, their coaching abilities in small group sessions, and their acceptance of feedback from staff and peers. Our expectation is that they return to their agencies physically and mentally prepared to coach their students to positive outcomes and enhance their agency’s program.


At Team Hardy, we are committed to providing a training experience that not only equips law enforcement professionals with the necessary skills but also fosters a culture of continuous improvement and professional growth. Join us and experience the difference!
