TDSA Tulsa Cadre
The cadre at TDSA Tulsa consists of Municipal, State and Federal Law Enforcement personnel. We are competition shooters and have had the privilege of training some of the finest people in the country.
Our students consist of United States Secret Service Agents, F.B.I., D.E.A., Navy SEALS, Marine Force Recon, Special Forces Operators, SWAT teams, Air Force Security Forces, Oklahoma Highway Patrolman, IPSC and IDPA Master-class shooters, a countless number of local law enforcement officers and various levels of competition shooters.
We have proven ourselves on the range and in the classroom and challenge any organization to match what we do for our students. No other cadre in the country will treat you with the respect that we do. No one can compete with the level of performance we see in our students. When you stop learning, you deny yourself the opportunity to grow. If you think you’re good enough, you aren’t! Check your ego at the door and come train with us. You won’t be sorry!
