Dustin breaks down the classes he teaches today—working primarily with law enforcement officers, while also training civilians who want solid, real-world skills.We cover Dustin’s popular vehicle encounter courses, the logic behind how they’re structured, and why they’re becoming essential in today’s training environment. We also dive into modern vs. old-school teaching methods, discussing what’s changed, what still works, and how instructors can stay relevant.A big part of Dustin’s approach is his use of practical competition-style shooting to build efficiency, confidence, and performance under pressure. He explains how these skills translate directly into better decision-making for officers and students in real-world situations.We also talk about Dustin’s life after retirement, including networking with other instructors, continuing to grow, and the challenges and opportunities of stepping into civilian-based training.Whether you're in law enforcement, an instructor, or someone who wants a deeper understanding of how modern firearms training is evolving, this episode brings a ton of insight and firsthand experience.Visit Mowery Tactical Concepts https://mowerytacticalconcepts.com/Check out Dustins IG https://www.instagram.com/dustinmowery_337/#
