Tactical Training Solutions

What Tactical Training Solutions does

Tactical Training Solutions, Inc. is a private professional training services company founded in 2004 and operating from the Daytona Beach/Port Orange, Florida area. The company delivers instructor-led tactical training programs on-site at client locations, serving US public safety agencies (law enforcement, fire departments, search and rescue teams, park rangers) and private businesses and corporations. Its course portfolio spans four pillars: off-road and 4x4 vehicle operations (including a California POST-certified 2-day EVOC course and a 4x4 vehicle recovery course), maritime and boat operations (boat operator skills, boating skills refresher, maritime firearms, engine disabling qualification), counter-terrorism and security awareness (IED/WMD/Sudden Attacks for the Maritime Environment, Active Violence Awareness Training), and consulting (pre-event planning, post-incident review, expert witness services).

The company's go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales: instructors travel to the client, assess local patrol areas or vessels where relevant, and deliver small-group customized training designed to minimize disruption to day-to-day operations. Revenue is generated on a professional services basis through individually negotiated course fees; no pricing, contract terms, or unit volumes are publicly disclosed, and prospective customers are directed to phone (386-281-7212) or email. The company has no proprietary technology platform, no AI or software components, no patents or trademarks, no disclosed funding, and no public financial reporting. Its only profiled team member is founder and Director Bart Barnack, a former Daytona Beach Police Department officer (1981-2002) and DOD counter-terrorism subject matter expert with deployments in Iraq (Baghdad, 2004-2006) and Afghanistan (Kabul, 2005), supplemented by an undisclosed contract instructor network that the company assembles per engagement. Distribution is exclusively direct, with marketing conducted through the company website, a LinkedIn profile (Barnack's personal account), a Facebook page, and a mailing list.
