About AVOPS

What Is AVOPS?

AVOPS — Armed Vehicle Operations — is a specialized use-of-force training discipline developed for law enforcement officers, military personnel, and security professionals who operate in vehicle environments. The program addresses the unique tactical challenges that arise when armed operators must respond to deadly threats from within, around, or while deploying from a vehicle.

The AVOPS Program

The AVOPS curriculum is a focused, no-nonsense approach to vehicle-based use-of-force that draws on decades of real-world law enforcement and military experience. It is built around ten core study components that develop the full spectrum of skills required to safely and lawfully win a deadly threat encounter in a dynamic vehicle environment — from situational awareness and communication to 360-degree combative marksmanship and emergency deployment.

Training Philosophy

AVOPS training is built on the principle that defensive solutions must be available on demand. Every drill, scenario, and skill set in the curriculum is designed to produce reliable, repeatable performance under stress — because in a real-world vehicle threat encounter, there is no time to think, only time to act. The program demands physical readiness, mental discipline, and a commitment to lawful, professional conduct at all times.
