5150 HEAT
5150 HEAT – Firearms Training Academy: So, what’s with the name Ken? Okay, I’ll tell you. Once upon a time in the 1970’s, 1980’s & 1990’s I arrested or “Held” numerous people under the influence of or “tripping out” on psychedelic & hallucinogenic drugs or they were in a type of mental health crisis. Having no viable options I was forced to use a little-known law: H.S. 5150 (Not the 1986 Album '5150' by Van Halen). The 5150 law is a “legal hold” that lets the police keep someone in a hospital for up to 72 hours for psychiatric observation. Okay, we’ve got ((( 5150 ))), where does ((( HEAT ))) come from? I was a gang officer for my entire law enforcement career. “HEAT” is gang slang for GUN. It was important to have a name for my new firearms school and I didn’t want to use my real name because it would be recognizable and to make matters worse, the last few California Governors were letting the "a——holes" I helped put into prison – OUT of PRISON! There it is gang… 5150 HEAT aka: Crazy Gun. I eventually turned it into a Limited Liability Company (LLC).
Instructor: I am a retired Police Officer, serving more than 30-years of honorable & dedicated service to the citizens of California. My experience extends to virtually every aspect of the law enforcement profession. In addition, to patrol duties I served as a Gang Officer, SWAT, Hostage Negotiator, Fugitive Taskforce Teams, Police Firearms Tactical Instructor & Range Master tasked with mentoring & qualifying department officers, Police Academy Instructor & Tactical Officer training thousands of men & women police academy recruits. Due to a unique circumstance, I was a member of the Presidential Security Team, protecting Presidents: Nixon, Ford, Reagan & Bush. Since retirement, as a civilian I have continued training responsible men & women citizens interested in developing their personal safety & family protection, home defense, concealed carry (CCW) techniques and strategies. I have developed an extensive and varied background in teaching the art & science of firearms safety, situational awareness, conflict avoidance, defensive shooting, CQC (close-quarters combat) tactical concepts through actual hands-on experience in “Street Survival Skills” with “Actual on the Job” Use of Deadly Force knowledge. I take personal satisfaction in sharing my tactical know-how and knowledge with good people in need of helpful tutoring in firearms safety, self-defense & defensive shooting.
