About
The National Association of Tactical Educators and Consultants (NATEC) is a sole proprietorship LLC founded in 2018 and led by President and CEO Phillip Jackson. NATEC was built on one core mission: to deliver high-quality, evidence-based education tailored to today’s rapidly evolving public safety environment.
In a world where information changes quickly—and where, in public safety, time is life—NATEC is committed to ensuring its students receive the most current, research-supported, and operationally relevant instruction available. The rise in mass-casualty incidents, complex threats, and tactical challenges demands training that is both accurate and immediately applicable. NATEC meets this demand through a network of highly skilled instructors drawn from diverse public safety disciplines, including Law Enforcement, Fire, EMS, and specialized Military and SWAT communities.
Our Origins
NATEC evolved from NAOTM (National Association of Tactical Medics), founded in 2007. NAOTM initially provided tactical medical training to private security contractors and the U.S. Department of Defense. While highly successful, its scope was limited by regulatory and operational constraints. As the tactical and public safety landscape expanded, it became clear that a broader organization was needed—one capable of offering diversified training, consulting services, and course development across multiple specialties.
NATEC was created to meet that need.
