Patrol vehicles are often the first piece of cover officers have when violence erupts. FBI Law Enforcement Officers Killed and Assaulted (LEOKA) data continues to show that officers are routinely assaulted and killed during vehicle-related encounters, ambushes, and rapidly evolving roadside incidents. This course is designed around that reality—focusing on movement, positioning, communication, and fighting effectively in and around vehicles when time and distance no longer exist.
The Vehicle Close Quarters Battle Course is designed to prepare officers to operate decisively in and around vehicles during rapidly evolving encounters. Vehicles create confined spaces, obstructed sightlines, limited mobility, and unpredictable angles that can quickly place officers at a tactical disadvantage if movement and coordination are not understood and practiced. This course focuses on practical, field-driven tactics for fighting around vehicles while operating with a partner or small team. Participants will learn how to move efficiently between positions of cover, communicate during movement, manage angles around vehicles, and maintain operational control while under stress. Emphasis is placed on realistic movement rather than static range concepts, reinforcing the understanding that surviving vehicle-based engagements often depends on timing, positioning, and coordination.
Training includes movement to and from vehicles, bounding techniques with partners, dismounted engagement concepts, use of vehicles as cover and concealment, casualty movement considerations, and threat engagement from compromised positions. Students will work through scenario-based problems requiring communication, adaptability, and decisive action in close and restricted environments. The VCQB Course is designed for patrol officers, proactive units, and tactical personnel seeking realistic and immediately applicable tactics for vehicle-based encounters and close-range engagements.
