When police confront dangerous situations that threaten life and public safety they call in a team of dedicated and specially trained elite officers called SWAT. Special Weapons and Tactics. These are their stories. 

The SWAT Brothers podcast features stories from veteran officers about standoffs and takedowns from their careers.  

Retired DPD Lt. Robert Owens and Investigative Reporter Robert Riggs interview SWAT officers, law officers, and military veterans about their exploits.  

Owens served on the Dallas Police Department for forty years with 20-years in SWAT.  As SWAT commander he supervised Presidential protection details.  Owens was featured in the original episodes of the popular TV reality show Dallas SWAT. He is a Marine veteran who served in Vietnam.

Riggs is a Peabody Award-winning TV reporter who has reported from war zones, The White House, Pentagon, and the scene of major national news events. His Webby Award-winning podcast, True Crime Reporter™ featured a 17-episode series about the corrupt release of serial killer Kenneth McDuff from the Texas Prison system. The news media and fans call it a “hair raising hit.” It is currently under development 

Owens and other SWAT officers offer up their experienced advice to first-time gun buyers and firearms enthusiasts about equipment, safety, and training.

On the third Friday of every month, SWAT Brothers feature a segment called Fast Draw Friday in which experts answer listeners’ questions about anything related to firearms and equipment.

Our Services

We serve high net worth families, residents of affluent neighborhoods, executives, celebrities, and professional athletes. Your privacy is of the utmost importance in this digital age. 

As you may know, “doxing” or maliciously publishing private or identifying information about public and private figures is a widespread practice. You can be found. 

You have to take care of your loved ones during these uncertain times. Public safety is in peril. Your 911 call may not get a priority response. Seconds are precious when faced with a threat at your home, office, or in your vehicle. 

We founded OwenRiggs Public Safety Handgun and Rifle Training courses to empower you to protect your family.

Professional Training

Robert Owens is a 40-year veteran of the Dallas Police Department and commanded one of its SWAT teams. Certified handgun and rifle instructors who have been under hostile fire either as police officers or in the military teach proper shooting techniques.

Robert Riggs is an investigative reporter and former Congressional investigator. He is best known for exposing widespread corruption in the Texas prison and parole system that led to the wrongful release of a notorious serial killer.  Riggs brings inside information about how criminals think and how you should be prepared to respond.

Personal Instruction

Our hands-on training starts in the comfort and privacy of your home or office. We begin with the rules of safety and demonstrate the differences between types of handguns and the calibers of bullets.

We deliver practical guidance on the use of deadly force in the context of Texas’ self-defense laws. Although the use of force may be justified in some situations, based on our years of law enforcement experience we advise you on sensible responses. 

Our clients appreciate the opportunity to get their questions answered about scenarios and we dispel myths about self-defense. 

We conduct a home security assessment during this phase of training.

Private Coaching

Your privacy is of the utmost importance. Our clients include high profile individuals and professional athletes who want to keep the details of their self-protection measures confidential. 

Thus, we conduct live-fire training sessions at an outdoor gun range in which each shooting lane is surrounded by fifteen-foot tall earth berms. No strangers will witness your training or have an opportunity to recognize your identity.  

The outdoor nature of the range reduces the chance of spreading COVID-19.

During this training, we will teach you the proper way to shoot pistols and/or revolvers. At the conclusion, you will be ready to pass the live-fire exam if you desire to obtain a License To Carry Permit in Texas. 

We will evaluate your handling and marksmanship to custom fit the right handgun to your needs and ability. Purchasing a firearm and the required paperwork can be intimidating. We assist you with the process.

*OwenRiggs provides handguns for training, ammunition which is included an additional cost according to market prices, as well as eye and ear protection.

Advanced handgun or Rifle Skills

OwenRiggs provides a monthly or quarterly training package to improve your skills. Our program builds your confidence and improves your accuracy.

Surveillance Detection and Evasion

Radicals as well as criminals now follow their target victims to their homes or other vulnerable locations. Our instructors, experienced with Presidential security details and intelligence agencies, teach executive and high profile individuals how to spot people following them on foot or in vehicles.  We arm you with techniques to recognize and foil their surveillance.
