John Rose - Director Of Training

John Rose actively served in law enforcement for over 18 years in positions ranging from Patrol Officer, K-9 Handler, K-9 Trainer, SWAT Operator, and Departmental Training Officer. His last rank held was that of Division Major with a large sheriff’s office in TN. He is a graduate of the FBI National Academy and holds numerous State P.O.S.T. certifications in multiple disciplines to include but not limited to patrol tactics, response to active shooters, defensive tactics, firearms, and K-9.

To enhance his studies he traveled to the Middle East in 2006 and 2008 to study the tactics and techniques used by the police and military in Israel to combat terrorism. The goals of these missions were to learn the tactics used to protect critical infrastructure, schools, retail malls, VIP’s and to mitigate the tactics used by Suicide Bombers. John is certified to complete Vulnerability and Threat Assessments and has instructed on this topic. He holds a Masters of Arts degree in Criminal Justice and Criminology from East Tennessee State University, where he is an Adjunct Professor teaching courses on Counter Terrorism and Ethics.

When I am asked about my training philosophy and why I do what I do, I usually respond with the following:

Officers will accept a significant level of danger as long as they know that they are doing so in the safest manner possible after having been prepared with state of the art training and equipment.  It is our duty and purpose to prepare these brave officers.

“ If you are in the deep blue pacific and all you have is a knife as a shark comes towards you, do you fight or curl up and accept being dinner?  I want to train with officers who would fight!”
