NTOA Nashville 2026.

Another opportunity to teach, learn, and spend time with some of the best in the profession.

“Beyond the Viewport: Changing the Culture of the Dynamic Ballistic Shield”

From ballistic shield operations to hostage rescue, the goal remains the same: share lessons earned through experience, challenge conventional thinking, and give operators concepts they can take back to their teams and make their own.

Grateful for the opportunity to contribute to the profession and even more grateful for the people who continue to push it forward.

Day One at NTOA-Nashville 2026

If there’s a “Super Bowl” of the tactical community, this is about as close as it gets.

Gemini Tactical is on the ground in Nashville this week at the National Tactical Officers Association Conference, surrounded by some of the most experienced operators, instructors, leaders, and innovators in the profession.

There’s something pretty humbling about being able to contribute to a room filled with people who have spent their careers doing this work at the highest level. We’re here to teach where we can, learn everywhere we can, reconnect with old friends, and bring some of that knowledge back home.

And we’re just getting started.

We are less than a week out from having the privilege to train Indiana’s best law enforcement.

Gemini Tactical is proud to be presenting at the Indiana SWAT Officers Association Conference April 7–10, 2026 in Noblesville, IN

On April 9 2026, and April 10, 2026 we will be running two live-fire Ballistic Shield courses built for law enforcement who refuse to be average.

Ballistic shield work is a nuanced specialty that requires advanced foundational concepts taught by real world, experienced operators who’ve made the mistakes and done the work.

Our course pushes shield operators and teams to operate at speed, make decisions under stress, and understand the realities of close-quarters ballistic protection in today’s threat environment.

Gemini Tactical has earned its place among top-tier tactical training companies in the law enforcement special operations community by delivering relevant, experience-driven instruction that translates directly to the street.

If you are in the Indiana area and ready to elevate your shield capability, this is your opportunity.
