Welcome to our training page! My name is Aaron DaCorte and I'm a founding member of the Crete Gun Club. I’ve been a life-long student of firearms and a firearms instructor since 2013, teaching police officers and the public in several firearm and tactical medicine related skills. I'm an NRA certified firearms instructor, Illinois Law Enforcement Training and Standards Board certified firearms instructor, ILETSB certified Use of Force Instructor, and Force Science certified De-escalation Instructor. I’m also an active Illinois Law Enforcement / SWAT officer, and my passion and background is in tactical firearms and use of force instruction.
