Below you will find a brief description of his credentials.
Len has had the opportunity to collect a host of training, experience and awards. These include military “Expert” ratings with the M-1911 and M-9 pistols; M-16 and M-4 assault rifles; M-79 and M-203 grenade launchers; M-2 and M-60 machine guns; MP-5 sub-machine gun and M-14 battle rifle. Add to that instructor certification, as both an Infantry and Military Police Weapons Instructor and you have a solid foundation to build on for training and experience with Special Response Teams and Anti-Terrorist Operations. He was also able to round out his military career with Sniper Training, shooting on the Army Rifle Team, serving as a Lanes Training Observer/Controller and being a member of the New Iraqi Army Training Team.
Early in his law enforcement career, Len was given the opportunity to become a firearms instructor. That led to becoming the Range Master of the county’s police academy, responsible for all the weapons training for the 19 agencies within the county. These duties progressed to positions as an Instructor Trainer for the New Jersey Police Training Commission, a Special Response Team Instructor and as Emergency Services Coordinator for his police department.
Len has also had the opportunity to accumulate a number of degrees and honors in the academic realm. Graduating Summa Cum Laude three times, Len holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice, a Master of Arts Degree in Criminal Justice Management and a Doctorate Degree in Criminal Justice Education.
Over the years Len Breure has been involved in numerous types of firearms competition, earning N.R.A. expert ratings in High Power Rife and Practical Pistol, I.P.S.C. AA class rating and U.S. Army Excellence in Competition medals for both rifle and pistol. This pales in comparison, however, to having “seen the elephant” as Col. Jeff Cooper would say, on several occasions.
He has also had the opportunity to train under (or conduct training with) some of this nation’s finest. These have included the F.B.I., D.E.A., B.A.T.F.E. and Department of Defense. Much of what he teaches and lives by today, comes from such noteworthy instructor’s as Chuck Taylor -American Small Arms Academy, Col. Jeff Cooper – Gunsite Academy, Massad Ayoob - Lethal Force Institute, John Farnam – Defense Training and many others.
As an author, Dr. Breure had written 4 law enforcement training manuals and 5 military training manuals. He is also the author of “The Personal Protection Handbook” which is a comprehensive training manual for handgun shotgun and rifle. His second book, “Personal Protection Tools” deals with the guns and gear available to today’s Operator. In addition, Len has also written numerous articles for several gun magazines and police trade journals.ver menos
