Pottawattamie County Hosting - Carbine Operator TrainingCouncil Bluffs IA Sept 17-18, 2026 Carbine Operator 2-day (16 hours) This class will be taught by Sheriff Chris Brown and Sergeant Matt Higgins Patrol rifles have largely taken the place as the primary long-gun for patrol officers. Having an intricate knowledge base, working understanding, and operational mastery of an AR-style platform rifle is a must for those working in an enforcement capacity in today’s age. Being able to perform basic functions like reloads, sling operation, and safety operation as well as having a solid base of more “advanced” functions like remedial malfunctions, one-hand manipulations, and positional shooting are crucial but all too often overlooked in training. This course is designed for those who carry rifles in an environment where they may be called on to deploy that rifle and make split second decisions under demanding stress loads. This class will push the envelope mentally and physically, and give students a high-functioning foundational skill-set that will set them up for success when the fight finds them.
