The man leading the course is someone who's been highly trained in counter-terrorism. Aaron Cohen is an American who served on the Israel Defense Forces and eventually earned a spot on their elite Special Forces team.
“What I can teach them is what they can't get unless they go to Israel and train,” said Cohen. So, if they can't go there then the training will come to them.
Cohen has been working with Houston County for over eight years. He is based out of Los Angeles, California but has traveled to Dothan several times.
The type of training Cohen teaches is different than the typical American style, he said. “The emphasis is on speed and the reason why is because in Israel we found that for every second you waste another innocent by-stander will be killed,” Cohen went on. “For every round missed another innocent by-stander can be killed. So, there's a different tactical protocol.”
When seconds count these men need to be able to take control and eliminate the threat as quickly as possible, because every second saved could be another life saved. God forbid anything would ever happen here in the wiregrass, but if and when it does Law Enforcement will be ready.
