LEO Defensive Concepts, LLC. was formed by two police officers and a fireman. We recognized the need for quality, practical and safe defensive firearms training. We did not stop at traditional firearms training because we recognized the ever growing need and desire for people to provide care for themselves and others. We crafted practical trainings that encompass force on force scenarios, combatives, and the integration of medical casualty-care. These courses were created utilizing our many years of experience serving in Law Enforcement and Fire/EMS services. Classes have been designed to accommodate students of all levels. We welcome the opportunity to work with new students and provide challenging training for advanced operators.

What sets us apart from other firearms training companies is that our instructors are currently engaged in law enforcement and fire/EMS service. Our courses are built around real world occurrences and experiences. The information and training is progressive and takes into consideration current best practices regarding California law and training procedures. We want to guide you to take the right actions for the right reasons.

The tenets of our company are MINDSET – SKILL – TACTICS – CASUALTY CARE. We believe the students we instruct need all four pillars to not only build their skill and confidence with firearms but to prevail in a violent encounter. If you are new to firearms, an advanced student, in law enforcement or military consider training with us. Sign up at leodefensiveconcepts.com
