There are lots of LE or former LE guys teaching this that would disagree with your assertion that "they usually don't know what they're doing".

We've been down this road before.

Clint Smith's views on teaching civilians more than necessary is well known. If you forgot...he doesn't. Please let me know what schools are teaching "active shooter" to non sworn officers? I've never seen one that was worth a damn. I've seen what alot of the agencies are teaching and some are up on their tactics, others still think a circle in the middle of the room is a viable techique. Finally, since you haven't been in LE for a while, nor were you in the military (AF doesn't count for a viable source for tactics), let me clue you in. Directorate of Defense of Trade Controls. Look them up, call them, learn something. Why do you think everyone is requiring background checks for training courses nowadays? Why do you think some courses are not available for civilians? Why don't we see civilian shoothouses popping up like gun ranges do? Just because you WERE a cop doesn't mean you know what you are talking about. If teaching room clearing to every civilian was OK, then why doesn't your beloved NRA has a course out for it yet?
