P.A.C.E. Tactical Training

Who we are

Built for tactical precision

Modern operational environments leave zero room for hesitation or uncontrolled force. P.A.C.E. Tactical Training delivers high-IQ, scenario-based training built to survive both the street and the camera.

Through Proactive Assessment and Calculated Engagement, we equip law enforcement agencies, corporate security details, and responsible citizens with advanced threat recognition, low-amplitude control, and emergency readiness.

Threat Detection

Detecting & mitigating threats before conflict occurs

True security begins before a single movement is made. From street-level pre-attack indicators to facility access vulnerabilities and home security audits, we train people to recognize behavioral red flags, map spatial environments, and eliminate risks early.

Precise Response

Proportional, high-IQ solutions under pressure

When dynamic action is required, execution must be precise, deliberate, and effective. From tactical room entries and vehicle interdictions to structured containment and room defense, our tactics fit the environment so threats are controlled rapidly and decisively.

Court-Ready Standards

Constitutional, defensible, documented

Curriculum built around constitutional standards and corporate risk management, giving personnel the articulate reporting framework needed to defend force applications in court.

Cancellation & refund policy

Clear expectations for every student and agency.

If P.A.C.E. cancels a class (for example, due to low enrollment or an instructor issue), you'll be offered a full refund or a free transfer to another class.
Individuals: cancellations 2 or more days (48+ hours) before class receive a full refund, or the credit can be transferred to another date or class.
Individuals: cancellations less than 2 days before class, or no-shows, are not refunded. You may transfer your seat to someone else, or apply the cost to another class on a future date.
Removal for a safety violation: no refund.
Agency training: governed by the agency's purchase order or agreement.
CRASE is never charged. CRASE is always free. P.A.C.E. will never charge for CRASE, and no ALERRT-certified CRASE instructor in Texas should ever charge you for it. On any quote or invoice, CRASE appears as its own $0 line item, and it is never conditional on purchasing another course.

Trusted tactical allies

Elite partnerships

Will Aston

Integrated combatives specialist

A highly accomplished competitor and coach across Wrestling, Boxing, Sambo, and Mixed Martial Arts, with extensive experience training multiple law enforcement agencies. Will played a pivotal role alongside the owners in building P.A.C.E.'s Low-Amplitude Subject Control & Ground Defense curriculum.

By translating elite combat-sports mechanics (base-breaking, leverage, and posture control) into camera-safe, low-liability police tactics, Will ensures our open-hand systems are field tested, anatomically sound, and legally defensible.

Community

Invested in our community

P.A.C.E. is built by officers who live and serve here. Beyond the classroom and the range, we put our time and experience to work for the schools and people around us.

Community spotlight

Providence Catholic School

Providence Catholic School's faculty and staff stepped out of their teaching roles and into the classroom for a safety training session led by P.A.C.E. P.A.C.E. usually trains law enforcement officers, so this was a brand-new experience for our team, and Providence's educators passed with flying colors, bringing incredible energy and sharp questions.
