L.O.C.T. associates, LLC provides specialized instruction in our Surreptitious & Covert Entry Specialist Courses to law enforcement, government and military personnel. The training provided by L.O.C.T. Associates, LLC is designed to teach the skills tactics and techniques required to surreptitiously and covertly conduct lock picking, circumvention and/or by-passing in order to enter secure structures, containers and/or property. Our advanced course teaches techniques for high security locks and systems, as well as techniques to defeat and/or bypass security & burglar alarm systems.

This training course greatly benefits law enforcement, government and military personnel, such as: federal agents/Homeland Security personnel, patrol officers, detectives, SWAT & tactical operators, narcotics officers, probation & parole officers, as well as military special forces members, etc. The subtle breaching techniques learned in this course can greatly benefit the following:


Search warrants                                           SWAT Operations            Fixed surveillance posts
Citizen welfare check                                   Probation searches                          Arrest warrants
Vehicle entries & searches                        Parole searches                                'Sneak & peek' Ops      
Patrol calls                                                      Access to secured areas                Narcotics Investigations
Citizen lock-outs                                          Arrest team staging                          Protest devices
Hostage rescue team staging


The ability for law enforcement, government and military personnel to enter a secure location and leave undetected, is of paramount importance for sensitive investigations, such as major narcotics trafficking and/or terrorism. Officer safety and/or the element of surprise can also be increased, during tactical operations, by covertly gaining access to areas for SWAT/HRT team staging, surveillance, entry preparation and sniper/observer positioning.


Aside from learning and practicing the skills used to defeat locks, this training also establishes a knowledge-based foundation for the student, which develops expertise. This expertise can be used to assist with investigating/identifying methods, tools and techniques criminals may also be utilizing; as well as identify weaknesses in existing security systems/devices.
