The foundation of my knowledge was established during my 24 years on the Portland Police Department's Special Reaction Team (SRT). I've managed the use of my handgun and rifle in many stressful situations during my 33 year law enforcement career. Those lessons learned have been integrated into my training program. I have an extensive background in training civilians and law enforcement officers in firearms and tactics. My real world insight and experience will guide you as you develop skills.

Testimonials
I've had 2 courses with Peter as the instructor and after today's private instruction with him, I'm ready for the 3rd. Great instructor, lot's of experience and knowledge. He has a fantastic ability to recognize problems areas and provide solutions that work. I am impressed. I highly and strongly recommend SRT Concepts for training. K.L.
Prior to my session with SRT, I had only fired a gun once in my life. Peter’s teaching-style put me quickly at-ease. He was detailed in his review of safety, and really helped me dial-into proper handgun technique. He took the time to provide answers to my questions that were both clear and easy to understand. If you want to learn the right way to safely handle a firearm, highly recommend working with Peter and SRT Concepts.

"SRT Concepts is an amazing company! I have had the opportunity to take Defensive Handgun 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and Strategic Movement 1.0. These classes have helped me become a better firearms owner and prepare myself and my family for situations nobody wants to be a part of. It is my opinion, carrying a weapon and knowing how to properly use and train with it is just as important as keeping a fire extinguisher in your home! You don't want to have to put out a fire in your home, but you will if you have to!
"Peter's classes will teach you how to mentally and physically prepare yourself for real-life threats that could happen at any time. Nobody knows when or if they'll be a victim, but the training he offers will help you decide for yourself if you want to be a victim or a hero."
"I recommend SRT Concepts classes to anyone that owns or is thinking of owning a firearm. It is your decision to be a well trained and responsible firearm owner. Peter can make you one! " L.M.

"I’ve taken multiple classes with Peter at SRT Concepts. As a veteran, I’m very familiar with training, and this is top notch. Peter is very safety conscious, and is always in top of things. He explains how to improve, and teaches in a manner that anyone can learn from.
We also hired them to train our church security team, and to help us develop a plan for our congregation in an emergency situation.
You won’t be sorry, it’s money well spent. Learn to be your own first responder from the best in the state." S.H.

I" had the opportunity to take a private handgun 1.0 with peter and it was amazing! Peter is extremely knowledgeable in his field and is an amazing teacher! I always felt comfortable while he was teaching and could always ask any question I wanted too. The class was perfectly split between the laws and regulations to plenty of shooting time in the range. Everything was geared towards being practical in today’s society. I’m definitely going to sign up for handgun 2.0 and further classes with SRT Concepts!" I. M.
