FORCIBLE ENTRY STRUCTURE Live fire exercises continually develop officers’ skills by allowing them to use their weapon systems while moving through the scenario or reactive target system in the facility. Each officer enters rooms and areas of the structure and must make split-second decisions on whether to shoot or not shoot.
