Hands On Training’s own Jim Morrissey was with the FBI as the Senior SWAT Team Tactical Paramedic attached to the team. Jim has been on hundreds of SWAT missions with the team across the state of California. Jim has put in countless hours training, doing most of the same training and certifications that the SWAT team Operators does. Jim and his Hands On Training team have provided hundreds of hours of training and scenario based opportunities for the FBI for over 18 years. Jim and team provided training, rope based scenarios and medical care during the several years of the San Francisco FBI SWAT High Sierra Challenge that took place in the Sierra mountain range

Hands On Training, working with Wilderness Medical Associates provided technical rope rescue, water rescue, wilderness and tactical medical training and exercises for this elite tier 1 SWAT team at the FBI HRT base in Virginia.

Hands On Training was heavily involved in the multi-discipline emergency response exercise- Urban Shield since its inception in 2007. Videos of our and many other scenarios can be found on YouTube under, “Urban Shield highlight videos”. HOT was contracted every year to produce at least 2 hyper-realistic scenarios, and a training component for EMS, Fire and law enforcement. We developed a well-deserved reputation for creating realistic, highly sophisticated scenarios that were challenging for the competing law enforcement teams, as well as for the EMS teams that rotated through. The just-in-time training beforehand and flow through the various scenarios have been consistently evaluated as, “some of the best training I have ever had”. Over 1800 medical and health care providers have been through our Urban Shield scenarios over the 12 years of its existence. Hands On Training also provided at least 1 rope base scenario every year for the competing law enforcement teams to rotate through.
