Gabe Richmond started teaching and instructing people in the early 2000’s and has over 20 years of experience in training. He has a combined almost 15 years of experience in local and federal law enforcement. His background in firearms stared when he joined the Army in 2008. After a brief deployment, he directed and conducted operations for the Department of the Army Civilian Policing (DACP) and Military Police operations on Fort Polk as the Operations Officer and Watch Commander. During that time, he received specialized military training in police weapons and tactics.

After the Army, he joined Gwinnett County Police Department (GCPD) and served as an officer for over 9 years. While serving as police officer, he received ongoing police training related to his role as a road officer. He eventually became a Master Police Officer (MPO) and a Field Training Officer (FTO) and has over 3000 logged hours of training his fellow officers. During his time as an officer, he had been involved in multiple critical indents, resulting in significant arrests and convictions. He has his Police Officer Standards and Training (POST) certification which allows him to teach and develop police related material to other officers and give credit for such training. He has since left GCPD and continued his law enforcement profession in a different capacity.

His experience as an officer and a soldier gives him a unique perspective into the functions, tactics, and principles behind the use of firearms. He has experience in multiple distinct platforms ranging from military to civilian rated weapons. As one of the instructors, he looks forward to meeting people on a personal level and helping people develop their skills and be comfortable with their firearms from the ground up.
