RAT Training for Your Team

VGI Tactics brings the RAT Fighting System to law enforcement agencies, academies, schools, and security teams, on your schedule and at your site or ours.

Based in the Kansas City area. We bring courses to hosts and agencies anywhere in the U.S.

Who We Train

Law Enforcement

Agencies & Academies

Recruit, in-service, and instructor training built for the officer who is first on scene, off duty, or working alone.

Education

Schools & Campuses

Situational awareness, averting violence, and de-escalation for staff and campus safety teams.

Security

Security Teams & Organizations

Armed and unarmed programs for private security, churches, businesses, and other groups.

Custom Programs

Every RAT course can be delivered as a closed class for your group. We can combine Knowledge, Action, and Kinetic RATs into one program, adjust the length to your training hours, and certify your own instructors through the G-RAT and F-RAT instructor programs so the training continues after we leave.

Available Formats

  • On-site at your academy, range, or facility
  • At our location in Raymore, Missouri
  • Zoom for Knowledge and Action RATs
  • Blended: Day 1 on Zoom, then live days in person
  • Custom length, from a full course to a block that fits your in-service hours
  • Train-the-trainer: certify your own instructors through the G-RAT and F-RAT instructor programs

Classes run with a minimum of 6 and a maximum of 12 students. Travel is not included in tuition; the agency pays for travel directly or reimburses it as an expense. Missouri POST approval for selected courses is in progress, starting with Pistol Gunfighting.
