FNH USA’s National Training Team facilitated 16 hours of less lethal training for the Minnesota Department of Corrections at the Rush City Correctional Facility.

25 members from the ERT (emergency response team), SORT (special offender response team) and corrections officers from throughout the state were in attendance.

The FN 303 and FN 303P are the focus of this training session with a concentration on  use & operation of less lethal launchers, armoring the FN 303 and FN 303P, troubleshooting,  projectile types and suggested applications,  peer teaching and live fire exercises.

FNH USA Training Manager, Ernie Beckwith, facilitated the training and commented:

 “It was a pleasure to work with Cliff Anderson and the dedicated and motivated officers from the Minnesota Department of Corrections.  We are very pleased that they chose the FN 303 for their mission needs and look forward to providing them with ongoing support.”
