Our
Story
High Angle Tactical was born from firsthand experience and a shared commitment to raising the standard in tactical training. Founded by seasoned professionals with careers in military service, law enforcement, and academy instruction, our company was created to fill a critical gap: the need for real-world, scenario-driven training that actually prepares students for what they’ll face in the field.
What started as collaboration between a CTE instructor and a patrol deputy quickly evolved into a trusted training resource for those who serve. We’ve taught active shooter response, CQB, tactical medicine, and night vision tactics—all with one goal in mind: giving our students the confidence and competence to act decisively under pressure.
At High Angle Tactical, we don’t do cookie-cutter training. Every course is designed with realism, safety, and performance in mind. We believe in training that challenges, empowers, and ultimately saves lives.
Whether you're a law enforcement officer, service member, or prepared citizen—this is where you come to sharpen your edge.
