WELCOME TO ITTS

We are International Tactical Training Seminars, but our friends call us ITTS! Since 1990, we have been teaching the effective, legal, and ethical use of firearms and tactics to civilians, law enforcement, and the military. As a family-owned and operated company, we take an exceptional amount of pride in providing a training experience of the highest caliber—your success is our success!

Our Core Curriculum includes a multitude of classes that span all four major weapon systems – Handgun, Carbine, Shotgun and Sniper, as well as Use of Force training on our in-house Force Option Simulator. Our training provides a comprehensive framework and clear path for anyone, of any skill level, to achieve a high level of proficiency. 

We also offer numerous Specialty Classes, which will greatly broaden your skillset and ability to defend yourself when it matters most.

ITTS instructors are second to none.  The level of experience and passion for teaching is what sets us apart. Hailing from elite units within top agencies, you will receive training from the best of the best!

Where TO start

If you are new our school, we have some suggestions that will help you determine where to start!

BASED ON YOUR EXPERIENCE:

All brand new shooters, as well as those who have shot before but have never taken a formal class, will begin with our Handgun 1 training. 

You can complete our Handgun 1 training in a group class (held one weekend per month) or by setting up a Private Lesson (held on weekdays).  View our Class Schedule for upcoming availability.

Once you have completed Handgun 1 you can proceed to Handgun 2 (this is the most common option) or venture into training with a different firearm like Shotgun, Carbine or Sniper.  You can also set up a session on our Simulator, which provides scenario based real world training that replicates home invasions, CCW encounters in public, active shooter events and much more. 

Contact us if you need any further assistance getting your initial training set up!

BASED ON YOUR INTERESTS:

Many students come to us strictly as enthusiasts and that’s absolutely fine!

What Students Say

Our Story

ITTS was born out of necessity when co-founders Brett McQueen and Scott Reitz recognized that too many people, both civilians and those in professions using firearms, were not nearly as proficient as they needed to be—proficiency that would be demanded of them in a real gunfight.

From the moment you arrive to train with us, we do our utmost to make you feel like a welcomed and valued member of the ITTS family. The camaraderie built between our staff and students is very much the fabric of the ITTS experience.

We developed and honed the ITTS training system to provide the most comprehensive and effective training based on professional, real-world experience. Our training has been adapted to reflect real-life encounters on the battlefield, in city streets, or in the home. Everything we teach has been tested by those whose very survival depends on implementing the most effective techniques in a deadly force encounter.

Everyone we train, whether a first-time civilian shooter or an experienced operator, is given individual attention and the confidence to achieve a higher level of understanding on how to survive a gunfight. Those of our students who have been involved in deadly force encounters have not only survived, but have performed admirably and within the confines of the law.

Safety is strictly enforced on our range. When you attend a class, you will be taught the safest method of training available anywhere. We have a high staff-to-student ratio, so someone is always close by.

No matter who you are, we have a program that will fit your needs!

You put your trust in us.

We maintain it by delivering safe and practical
real world techniques in a no-nonsense approach.

Scott Reitz

ITTS Co-Founder
Lead Firearms and Tactics Instructor
LAPD SWAT (Ret.)

Scott Reitz is a co-founder of International Tactical Training Seminars (ITTS) and serves as its Lead Firearms and Tactics Instructor. He is a 30-year veteran of the Los Angeles Police Department, where he built a distinguished career in some of the department’s most demanding and elite assignments.

After earning his bachelor’s degree from the University of New Mexico, Scott joined the LAPD and served in both the Wilshire and Van Nuys Divisions, working as a heroin expert and as a member of the Special Problems Unit. He was later selected for the prestigious Metropolitan Division, where he spent the remainder of his career. Shortly after joining Metro, he was assigned to “D” Platoon (SWAT), serving operationally for ten years before being promoted to Primary Firearms and Tactics Instructor for the entire Metropolitan Division and all LAPD advanced in-service firearms and tactics training.

In this role, Scott was responsible for advanced training across specialized units including gang enforcement, anti-terrorism, SIS, Internal Affairs follow teams, LAFD arson, and all 19 geographic patrol divisions, among others. Over a fifteen-year period, he conducted accelerated and advanced firearms and tactics training for more than 7,000 officers annually, maintaining a perfect safety record throughout.

Scott has also served as an adjunct instructor for the U.S. Department of Energy’s SRT III program and as an instructor for the U.S. Marine Corps Special Operations Training Group (SOTG) at Camp Pendleton. His professional experience includes training and operational collaboration with U.S. Army Delta Force, Naval Special Warfare Development Group (DEVGRU), and specialized air assets supporting special operations.

He is among a very small number of instructors qualified as an expert witness in Federal and Superior Courts in the areas of deadly force, firearms training, safety, and police tactics. Scott has testified and consulted in the defense of law enforcement agencies and federal organizations including the FBI, U.S. Secret Service, and ATF, as well as in numerous high-profile cases nationwide.

Scott has been personally involved in five officer-involved shootings, all ruled justifiable, with no resulting civil litigation. He has trained hundreds of officers who were later involved in armed confrontations, and to his knowledge, none resulted in an out-of-policy shooting. He has also designed and implemented training programs for numerous organizations that continue to demonstrate measurable success.

Scott is the co-author of The Art of Modern Gunfighting.
