When patrol officers face a barricaded subject or a non-compliant occupant in a vehicle, time, distance and decision-making matter. Officers need options that can help create compliance while preserving officer safety and maintaining control of the scene.
This on-demand Police1 training course provides practical guidance on the deployment of SABRE Projectile Launchers in residential barricade incidents and vehicle-based standoffs. The course focuses on how these tools can be integrated into patrol response, less-lethal strategy and team communication to support safer, more disciplined outcomes.
The outline emphasizes modern barricade challenges, deployment through windows and doorways, controlled angles around vehicles, coordination with contact and arrest teams, and the operational limitations officers must consider before deployment.

Why this training matters
Barricaded and vehicle-based incidents create compressed timelines, elevated stress and significant risk for officers, subjects and bystanders. SABRE Projectile Launchers can provide officers with another tool to influence behavior, disrupt non-compliance and create opportunities for safer resolution.

This course is designed to help officers think through those decisions before they are forced to make them in real time.
