The tactical training tower at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office Walter C. Heinrich Practical Training Site in Lithia, Florida was custom made by Tactical Training Systems. The structure was created to allow individuals the ability to improve their skills and learn from different building layouts.
Used by about 240 people a year, the tactical center lends itself to building searches, active threat training, building clearing, stairwell clearing, ascending and descending stairwell clearing. Along with other structures at the training site, the Sheriff’s Office uses the Tactical Training Systems building to provide a different avenue to better prepare students for what they may experience during their daily duties. Other local agencies, including SWAT, HAZMAT and other law enforcement are also permitted to train in the tactical facility.
