SURVIVING THE ATTACK - Tom Schlieman began his career as a police officer for the City of St. Cloud, MN in 1989. Since then, he has served in many capacities including FTO, Firearms Instructor and Armorer, S.W.A.T. Team Member, and Basic and Advance S.W.A.T. Instructor for S.O.T.A. Tom is a two time recipient of The Medal of Valor as a survivor of two fatal deadly force encounters.

Tom's training seminar called "SURVIVING THE ATTACK" is a law enforcement power point presentation designed to prepare all law enforcement officers for surviving a deadly force encounter. Tom's presentation goes beyond the normal mandated officer survival training. Officers learn how to prepare physically and more importantly prepare mentally for a deadly force encounter. Tom covers both of his shootings with the aid of power point and plays the audio of the radio traffic and 911 calls. Tom speaks candidly about survival techniques for the physical and emotional traumas which may occur during the aftermath. Tom also talks about his experiences with the media, the Grand Jury and the civil liability attached to deadly force encounters. You will come away with a better understanding and the confidence and tools needed to "SURVIVE THE ATTACK!"
