Overview: 
​The Ridgeline Sniper Nightfighter Course is designed for the Law Enforcement Officer who has already graduated a Basic Sniper Course and is looking to increase their performance during critical incidents.  With nearly half of all Law Enforcement Sniper engagements documented in the United States occurring during hours of limited or no visibility, our five-day (40+ hour) course enhances the skillset of the Law Enforcement Marksman by introducing them to more advanced skills that round out their capability.
