Accuracy Under Fire Information

Accuracy Under Fire (A.U.FIRE): Advanced Survival Training for Law Enforcement and Military. A.U.FIRE is an essential, specialized training program designed to prepare law enforcement and military personnel for worst-case, life-or-death scenarios. Developed by LAPD officer Tim Pearce following the shooting and paralysis of fellow officer Kristina Ripatti, the program addresses a critical gap in traditional training by emphasizing the importance of fighting back even while injured and under continued attack. Through realistic, stress-filled simulations of injury and under attack, A.U.FIRE significantly boosts mental preparedness. This advanced training enables officers to more effectively manage high-stress encounters more effectively, increasing their survival odds, allowing them to neutralize threats quickly, and ultimately saving lives—benefiting both the officers and the communities they serve.
