...Come for the training. Stay for the food.
— Adam Drake, Admiral Chief, Vacaville Superior Fire Dept.
The amount of students in the class allowed for many more reps and better one-on-one instruction.
— Ryan Ostrow, FF, Milpitas Fire Dept., Milpitas, CA
Forcible Entry, Inc.’s attention to detail is phenomenal. Their mission to build a product that will stand up to an indefinite amount of time truly shows. Their workmanship is amazing.
— Vacaville City Fire Department, Vacaville, CA.
What resonated with me was the expertise and detail for operator/breacher safety. The ability for Forcible Entry, Inc. to teach/instruct breaching, provided valuable life saving efficiency to our operators.

I have peers who work at different law enforcement agencies, SWAT teams, it’s very difficult to find anything like what Forcible Entry offers. My peers and I always talk about the quickest way to breach and immediately secure and make safe one of the worst situations. I cannot wait to share my experience I had today with them and their available products.

When it comes to tactics and time, the breacher can be the difference between life and death.

Chuck and the team clearly have a passion for their work. Instruction was thought out, informative, easy to understand and best of all a ton of fun. Best forcible entry instruction I have ever received.

Forcible Entry, Inc. has one of the best breaching door I have trained on — Inward / Outward and the quality of material.
— James Bottze - CDCR, Folsom, CA
All the props were very realistic. Too many I’ve worked on were unrealistic and too easy. These have a much more realistic feel to them. The course was excellent and I learned a lot and got new ideas.
— Kenju Suzuki, Truck Captain, Milpitas Fire Dept. Milpitas, CA
For all SWAT, Military, Specialized Units, I would definitely recommend Forcible Entry, Inc. Chuck and his crew are awesome! Very knowledgeable. I learned something new everytime we link up.

The quality and craftsmanship of the props show the passion that these guys have for training.
— Captain Greg Chaloner, Vacaville City FD, Vacaville, CA
Great class no matter your skill level. Instructors show their “method” and then you get to implement it. Great confined space and zero visibility training.
— Capt. Gordon, Metro Fire, Sacramento, CA. @coffeetabletactics
‘Satisfied’ is an understatement. The knowledge / Tips & Tricks behind forcing a door along with zero visibility training was a huge take away. Can’t wait to bring back to the crew.
— Santiago, FF, Sac Metro, Sacramento, CA
Instruction that reinforces basic techniques and habits through repetition. Gradual increase in difficulty to challenge students on what they learn. Great class for anyone, regardless of expertise or training, to learn the foundational skills needed to force a door.
— Firefighter Daniel Enfantino, Milpitas FD, Milpitas, CA
Already want to return and recommend to our peers. Instruction was simple and systematic and reinforced all of the basics we learned in the academy. Little things about hand positioning and how to make the tools do the work for you resonated the most with me.
— Key Cosley, FF/P, Sac Metro Fire District, Sacramento, CA
It’s a great training opportunity everyone should take advantage of. Take fundamental skills and put them to work in a realistic environment.
— Robbie Kessler, Milpitas Fire Dept., Milpitas, CA
Awesome class. Great doors. Got a ton of reps and never sat around waiting for a turn. Utilizing the OSB barriers and smoke machine was a very realistic drill I had never thought of. I will definitely recommend this class to my coworkers.
— Anthony DeZordo, Firefighter, Sac Metro, Sacramento, CA
The experience displayed and subject matter expertise was unquestionable. The instruction was easy to understand, instilled confidence during practical application exercises. The hospitality was second to none. This course is a MUST for any first responder.

I would return for more instruction without hesitation. I’m telling every one of my peers who do not know about this class.
— Operator Miranda, CDCR/CRT, Stockton, CA
I am very satisfied with today’s training as it was not just informative, but what resonated with me the most was the use of proper techniques and not just brute force while breaching.
— Operator's Name Withheld - CDCR/CRT - Stockton, CA
Great environment. Amazing people, and awesome training. The tools make all the difference.
— Operator's Name Withheld - CDCR/CRT - Stockton, CA

To us and those like us.”
“Train like you fight. Fight like you train.
— Operator's Name Withheld. CDCR/CRT Team. Stockton, CA
Not only a great training day, but great instructors and every piece of equipment makes sense. Definitely want to purchase to keep it going.
— Officer Barajas, CDCR/CRT Team, Stockton, CA
Best breaching course ever! All the different way on inward and outward swinging doors. I just wish we had more time. We should do this once a year at least. Every CRT Team in the state needs to run this course. Once in a lifetime is not enough. More hands on training and practice would be ideal.”

”The course was a great team builder day. We all learned the different techniques and skills we will need to save the lives of those who need us. We learned the nomenclature of our tools. We grew as men and as a team.
— Operator Sloan, CDCR/CRT - Stockton, CA
Smooth is fast! And Chuck and his crew give you the reps to become smooth. I really enjoyed the knowledge from the instructors and the environment. This class has really increased my confidence.
— Capt. Alvarez, San Rafael Fire Dept. San Rafael, CA
Absolutely awesome training. Being instructed on technique, going through the reps, and then adding in a narrow hallway plus zero visibility is a great process. Couldn’t be happier.
— Engineer “D1” Noonan, Twain Harte Fire Dept. Twain Harte, CA
Great class taught by great instructors. You’ll get to force 15-20 doors or more in different scenarios.
— Capt. Tim McNew. Sac Metro Fire. Sacramento, CA
Great course! Understanding that there is a technique to breaching a door more than just using brute force. And that skill is a perishable one. Also, the Halligan was the best part.
— Fresno Police Dept. - Fresno, CA
The Forcible Entry Breaching Tools are far superior to any I have previously used.
