Patrol Rifle Instructor Course

Program Announcement

The Monroe County Public Safety Training Facility (PSTF), in partnership with the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office, will be holding a Patrol Rifle Instructor Course. This course is designed to train and prepare the firearms instructor to be a patrol rifle instructor. Students will design a tactical course of fire, develop a lesson plan and instruct fellow students through their designed course.

This is Not a shooting course, nor is it designed to teach participants how to shoot. Furthermore, this is not a familiarization course. Students are expected to have basic knowledge of patrol rifles and be able to safely and accurately use them. Students must possess the ability to make accurate rifle sight adjustments, field strip, reassemble, load and unload their respective rifles, prior to arrival. Students must be physically capable of quickly and safely assuming the standing, kneeling, sitting, and prone positions, maintaining these positions for a period of time, and safely recovering from them without assistance.

Please Note:  This course will be held at the PSTF Rush Range, 492 Stonybrook Road, Rush, NY 14543.

Successful completion of this course will result in 1.5 college credits from Monroe Community College.
