During the scenarios, the following items are PROHIBITED from being on a student’s person or in any vehicle used during the scenarios:

  • Live Ammunition or Blanks

  • Magazines – Rifle or Handgun

  • Flashbangs or Smoke Devices

  • CEW

Bishop One will implement its safety protocol, which will be applied to every student before and after scenario training is completed. This protocol includes verifying that all weapons are rendered inoperable and ensuring that no personnel inadvertently possess any prohibited items on their person or in the vehicles they are using. The safety of all individuals involved remains our highest priority.

Safety is our PRIMARY focus. If Bishop One personnel remove a student from a class due to safety concerns, no refund will be issued.
