Your Instructor: Jason Piccolo

  • Retired Federal Agent

  • U.S. Army Veteran. Infantry Captain, Iraq (2006) | Enlisted Artillery

As a dedicated professional in the security field for over three decades, I have carried firearms in various capacities, from my role as a U.S. Army Soldier (Artillery) and Officer (Infantry) to my extensive career in Federal Law Enforcement to my years as a competitive shooter. Throughout these years, I have not only honed my skills in firearms handling but also gained invaluable insights into the critical role that firearm proficiency plays in ensuring the safety and security of our nation and our loved ones.

I was previously employed by a major federal police department as a primary firearm's instructor instructing new and seasoned officers.  I am passionate about sharing my knowledge and expertise with others. I firmly believe in the importance of empowering individuals with the skills and confidence needed to protect themselves and their families. Through my instruction, I aim to create a supportive and engaging learning environment that helps students overcome any fears or uncertainties they may have about firearms.

At Protectors 360, I am committed to providing personalized firearms training that meets the unique needs of each individual, group, and family.

Testimonials

  • As a police officer, I thought I had my shooting fundamentals down. But Jason showed me there was so much more to learn. His approach was different from anything I'd experienced before - running drills that honestly confused me at first. But he was patient, highly qualified, and had a clear method to everything he taught. Those unique drills that seemed strange at the time? They led me to shooting a perfect 100 on my qualification. Thanks to Jason's training, I've taken my skills to a whole new level. He has a way of pushing you beyond your comfort zone while making sure you understand the 'why' behind every technique.

    Malak, Police Officer

  • I have had the opportunity to participate in multiple individualized firearm lessons with Jason, and I cannot recommend him enough! With each lesson, I have walked away with more confidence and a better understanding of the techniques I thought I already knew. Being prior law enforcement, I was not a stranger to going through firearm lessons/trainings. But the instruction Jason provides is on a different level. His approach is different from what I have experienced. He isn’t a “watch me then do” type instructor. He explains the process step by step and builds on that. After his instruction, you will be shooting better than when you arrived. I would highly recommend him regardless on your experience level.
