Chances of...
 

To all QP's :

What are the chances of a small police department getting some active SF guys to come and do a class on concelment and camoflage?

What we are looking for is a basic ghillie suit class and a few excercises with a live practical at the end.

We have no problem paying for the trip, food, hotel and beer. We just can't afford Howe and Vickers prices.

Thanks for time... Fraser

I believe that this would be technically illegal, for a number of reasons, not limited to Posse Comitatus, liability, and conflict of interest.

Might try one of the NG units. They could do it in a civilian role I believe...Some one may trump me on this though.

Well I am not sure what a MG unit is but... :D

Depending on where you are in Georgia there is a NG LRS unit at Ft Gillam(sp) outside Atl who may help you out on the side. If not them, try contacting the SOT-D (SOTIC II instructors) at Ft McClellan; some of the instructors there are former/current LEO who may be able to help you out on their down time between classes, dont forget the beer though. ;)

Other than that, you are going to be out of luck for the reasons TR stated.

What about a retired guy?

How is he fixed for liability insurance?

We used to do it all the time as long as there was a counter-drug connection. Contact these guys,

I don't know if Howe and Vickers are snipers, not everyone is...

Besides for a concelment, camoflage and ghillie suit class all you need is a "trained" Army, Marine or SEAL sniper.
