Matt Alexander
Lead Instructor
Firearms Instructor
I have been a California POST-certified firearms instructor since 2002. My training certifications include General Firearms Instructor, Carbine Instructor, Submachine Gun Instructor, Less Lethal Instructor, Sniper Instructor, Diversionary Device Instructor, Rappel Master, and more.
Real World Experience
I have over 29 years of law enforcement experience with a large Central Valley agency, 22 years of which were spent assigned to the Special Weapons & Tactics (SWAT) Team as a collateral duty. I have been involved in many critical incidents over the years and I bring that real-world experience to the training I provide. I have been fortunate to receive extensive training from many top shelf tactical operators and have incorporated these concepts into my training programs.
Experienced Trainer
I have been teaching handgun, shotgun, carbine, submachine gun and tactical long rifle techniques for over 20 years. I built a law enforcement training company, Advanced Combat Evolutions, in 2011 and have certified 17 law enforcement courses. I am an experienced instructor and I love to help civilians develop the firearm skills necessary to protect themselves and those they love.
