2019 Featured Speakers

CLAUDE LOCKE

Claude has been teaching thousands of people to be prepared for the "unknown" since 2000.  A former Marine with two deployments under his belt as a part of a reconnaissance company, Claude now serves as an active police officer including as the entry team leader on his force's SWAT. When he's not wearing the badge, he's teaching his "students" how to master basic tactical operations for many different situations and environments to give you an opportunity to not only fight, but survive those situations you hope never arise. Claude will work with TxAVF Conference attendees on how to respond to active shooter situation in a large open space venue at which there may be a large crowd. He will also teach basic triage assessment and the recovery position.
