The southern region of the United States remains a hostile, untamed land. Foreign incursions endlessly penetrate the border by way of overt, covert and innovative means. Motives fill the spectrum from personal betterment and employment prospects to nefarious narcotic and human trafficking representing a considerable threat to our homeland security as well as our country’s financial future. We have been witness to increasing boldness, hostility and ingenuity. This region has come (with each passing year) to more closely resemble a combat zone than the Southwest United States. A lack of preparedness to include mindset, tools, procedures and training will be disastrous. And while we have not yet seen a protracted kinetic engagement or battle erupt on the border between American and hostile forces, it is not a question of if, but instead, when.

On the following pages, you will find an overview of PFC’s BSOC or Border Security Operator Course. This 4-day program is also available in custom 5 to 10 day versions. PFC works hand in hand with its clients to deliver the finest, most progressive, proven, conflict resolution methodology in the world. Our innovative solutions and efficiency in improving the individual responder are unparalleled. We look forward to the opportunity of working with you to develop a program that will build capabilities, increase security and enhance officer safety on a daily basis.

• Instructors will strive to maintain the safety of ALL participants during every evolution

• Instructors will give 110% at all times • Instructors will uphold an open, light, professional setting, which encourages free

thought and discussion • Instructors will train students to standard...not time, and days may run long • Instructors will be able to demonstrate with proficiency any skill-set or physical task

they require students to perform • Instructors will not mince words...corrections will be direct, succinct & forthright • Instructors will be approachable and make themselves available for students who

may have specific needs or concerns • Instructors will monitor class progress, openly receive input, and modify plans of

instruction on the spot to accommodate student needs (when appropriate) • Instructors will push, challenge, and drive the students to meet the highest levels

of proficiency and tactical ability possible in the allotted training time What the PFC Staff expects of YOU...

• Students will strive to maintain the safety of ALL participants during every evolution • Students will give 100% at all times • Students can expect to be perpetually shoved out of their comfort zone • Students will train to standard...not time, and days may run long • Students will strive for fluid proficiency and excellence in any skill-set or physical

task presented...do it right every time! • Students must maintain an open mind and an ego not bruised by criticism...when

informed of your mistakes, you must immediately fix yourself, put them behind you, and drive on with training

• Students will approach instructors should they have specific needs or concerns • Students will never give up or quit during any evolution out of frustration or

exasperation! • Classroom instruction will not merely be a one-way lecture...students will be

questioned, instructors may be questioned, and open discussion is encouraged • PFC is not in the business of creating parrots...the staff will not be over your

shoulder during a lethal encounter should it occur – you must become an active, aggressive, free thinker
