The facility is open to the public, and membership options are available as well.

88 TACTICAL IS THE MIDWEST’S PREMIER TRAINING ORGANIZATION FOR CIVILIANS, LAW ENFORCEMENT AND MILITARY PERSONNEL, CORPORATIONS AND EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. OUR AMENITIES, CURRICULUM AND FACILITIES IN OMAHA AND TEKAMAH, NEBRASKA, ARE DESIGNED TO ENSURE THAT EVERY CUSTOMER FEELS SKILLED, CONFIDENT AND READY TO RESPOND.

NEW THREATS REQUIRE A NEW APPROACH TO TRAINING.Due to the number and intensity of recent active threats, terrorist attacks and ambushes on police officers, local agencies are scrambling to get their officers, firefighters and emergency medical technicians (EMTs) the training they need to stay safe in the face of new, life-threatening challenges. This isn’t just a local problem – it’s a matter of national defense and stability.

And while local agencies understand the urgent need for better training, they lack the budget and staffing resources to deliver.

JOINING THE EFFORT TO PROVIDE SPECIALIZED TRAINING.

Based on input from 40 local, county, state and federal officials, as well as our expert staff’s knowledge and understanding of current threats, 88 Tactical has developed a multi-phase training curriculum designed to equip first responders with the skills, knowledge and confidence they need to emerge safely from even the most dangerous scenarios.

THE NEED IS URGENT – AND YOUR SUPPORT IS VITAL.

We are seeking the assistance of a select group of local corporations to help make this training available to police, fire and emergency departments across Nebraska. With your financial support, local departments can offer Back the Brave without having to stretch already-tight budgets.

This is your opportunity to help our local heroes feel safer and better equipped in the face of danger. Enhanced training for them means improved protection for our communities.

BACK THE BADGE IS HOSTED AT OUR RANGE & READINESS CENTER IN OMAHA, NE. THE PROGRAM IS DIVIDED INTO TWO KEY PHASES.

PHASE 2. CORPORATE SPONSOR This four-day, 32-hour session will be made available to a select group of first responders. These officers, fire fighters and EMTs will be trained to become small element leaders, bringing advanced skills to any potential crisis (2 classes of 15 participants).

The Phase 1 & 2 curriculum will cover a wide range of subjects, including:

Counter-ambush Active-threat Tactical medicine Breaching Close quarters clearing Use of advanced equipment

PHASE 1. A one-day, 8-hour training session for department-selected first responders. The costs will cover training and ammunition for 150 participants (10 classes, 15 participants per class).

In order to make these classes a reality for first responders across the state, 88 Tactical is offering corporate donors the opportunity to contribute a single sum or sponsor a specific training program. All contributions will be made to Hold the Line, a 501(c)(3), ensuring that your contribution is tax deductible. Our initial goal is to raise a total of $248,000 to fund both levels of training.
