Police Qualification Training
Many police cadets, police officers and security personnel have difficulty passing their firearms qualification tests. This is very common and is usually not due to any fault of the officer or candidate. Most often it's simply that there is not enough instruction time at the academy or department to focus on any one officer’s personal shooting issues. Fortress has developed a one-on-one tutoring program to address the problems you may be encountering on the range, and to help you pass on your next attempt!

Laws regarding handgun ownership and carry rights vary greatly from state-to-state and each jurisdiction has its own rules and regulations. Fortress recommends that you consult with your own state's Attorney General's office before purchasing any firearm, or before you attempt to carry a handgun. Many find http://handgunlaw.us/ to be a good resource, as well. Please remember that laws and statutes regarding firearms change almost daily throughout the United States; it's up to you to know the law!
AMMUNITION REQUIREMENTS
Fortress recommends the use of American made factory ammunition only! Foreign ammunition is often times dirty, smokey and lacking in quality control. Use of it can not only lead to stoppages but it absorbs valuable training time trying to repair dirty, non-functioning guns. We also do not allow the use of reloaded ammunition during our courses.
