Dave Spaulding’s New Website

Dave Spaulding, a regular contributor to the Paladin Planet and soon-to-be Paladin video author, has launched his own website (www.handguncombatives.com) offering his acclaimed Handgun Combatives Training Program to the public.

As many of you in law enforcement and combat shooting circles know, Dave was awarded the 2010 Law Officer Trainer of the Year at the International Law Enforcement Trainer and Educators Association’s Conference in Chicago.

Dave has 36 years of law enforcement and federal security experience. A founding member of his agency’s SWAT team, he served as its training officer for 12 years. He spent five years as a full-time use-of-force instructor and another five as the commander of a multi-jurisdictional drug task force, working major narcotics cases from Seattle to Miami. During his years in SWAT and the drug task force, he performed hundreds of high-risk, forced entries. After working all aspects of law enforcement—including corrections, communications, patrol, homicide detective, burglary investigations, evidence collection, and a long-term, high-risk, deep-undercover operation—Dave honorably retired at the rank of lieutenant.
