I also was assigned to the Homicide Task Force. I have served as a departmental firearms instructor for over 20 years. I served on The County's SWAT TEAM, where I was able to hone my craft and become very proficient in tactics and firearms. I am a Plank Owner (Navy Term for founding member) of my Police Department's SWAT Team. I was responsible for getting the members firearms skills and tactics up to the standards set forth by our Commanding Officer. I have served as an assault team leader, sniper team leader and trainer on my department's SWAT Team. My duties as a team leader included: keeping up standards and bringing the members up to an exceptional level of firearms proficiency. I served as a Police Rifle/ Sub gun Instructor as well as Handgun Instructor. I am a graduate of FBI Sniper School. I was an adjunct Firearms/Sniper and Patrol Rifle Instructor for the NJ Department of Criminal Justice. I am a PTC Certified Firearms Instructor at the JHSPA and have been so for several years.

It is my goal to teach firearms and firearms safety to individuals and make them safe, proficient and exceptional shooters.

Excerpt from Alex's Bio:
Ever since I was young, I knew I wanted to be a part of a profession that allowed me to help people and make a difference in their lives. I chose the fitness arena; a way to connect, discuss, work with and be active with others and myself. It was and is a way to help people of all ages get to a point of considerable health, healing, and self-awareness; a way to hopefully make those doctor's visits happen a little less frequently.
This journey of mine started at a very young age, where I was introduced and encouraged to participate in athletics. I could do anything I wanted, as long as I was enjoying myself, which for me carried over into my college volleyball career (almost 12 years later.) In high school I played volleyball and softball, but once we had won the state championships in softball, I decided to retire and focus solely on volleyball.
I attended SUNY New Paltz. Throughout my four-year collegiate volleyball career, I was a Strength and Conditioning All American (2x,) Team Captain (2x,) Sunyac Conference Champion, Kenneth F. Burda Sportsmanship Award winner, and NCAA Sweet 16 Finalist. Throughout my experiences as a college athlete, I finished my double major (Public Relations and Management.) Although I loved being active, academics were always on my mind. I graduated Magna Cum Laude and a member of the Lambda Pi Eta Honors Society.
Once I realized my college experience, career, and education were over, I immediately focused on achieving certifications through national organizations to further my knowledge in health and fitness. I am currently certified in the following areas. I am constantly working towards additional certifications to better myself as a coach.
-NASM Certified Personal Trainer
-Pre and Post Natal Certified
-NASM Weight loss Specialist
-Mad Dog Spin Certified Instructor
-Functional Movement Specialist

Bill's "Concealed Carry Permit Class" was extremely thorough & informative. He was exceeding patient and took the time to explain & answer all of my questions & address all of my concerns. Moreover he based a lot of what he's teaching on his real life experiences & that knowledge & his ability to communicate, explain & relate that information has given me a solid foundation & comfort with the entire process. I would highly recommend Bill & his entire team at Checkpoint Tactical.
PASQUALE

the class to others.
TRX300
I took a course with Bill and it was perfect. I went in with limited knowledge and Bill was patient, worked with me, and I left feeling a whole lot more comfortable with my firearm. The price was very reasonable for the level of real world knowledge I gained. I will definitely be taking using him for other classes as well.

PENNY
I took classes from Bill. Both classes are well planned and delivered in a very structured manner.
I strongly recommend CheckPoint Tactical.
ANNURAG
I had a truly informative, comprehensive, and amazing day with Bill and his team. Our lessons in gun safety were truly eye-opening to the complexities of it. As an actor, I wanted to learn how to hold a gun authentically and Bill took the time to go through those holds and tactical methods with our entire class. I have an amazing respect for his teaching and hands-on training. I was out on the range and had an instructor that helped improve my shooting instantaneously. Bill was a great, funny teacher who still also impressed on our class the seriousness of gun safety. I cannot imagine a better trainer. I loaded revolvers and semi-automatics, and even had the chance to practice the prone sniper position! I cannot say enough about how fun, empowering, and informative the entire experience was. Thanks Bill!
AMANDA
It turned out to be a great experience. Lot’s of knowledge passed on from years of experience.

ANTNY
Highly recommended. Bill was professional personable and safe. Course included discussion of technique and carry methodologies which I found useful. In addition, use of force was discussed and qualification included drawing from the holster and low light scenarios. All of this may not be required for licensing, but I feel is important training to have. Overall I'm very pleased with the class and recommend it.
MATT
Bill is very knowledgeable and thorough it was a great experience . I highly recommend you get trained by him and his staff . First Class Training
DENIS
Recently took an NRA Certification course with Checkpoint Tactical. It was a great experience, start to finish. Bill and his Team are extremely knowledgeable and experienced. They provided a very supportive learning environment that mixed presentations with demonstrations and hands-on training, and encouraged questions and discussion throughout. I highly recommend Checkpoint and am looking forward to doing more training with them in the future.
ROBERT
Excellent course. Bill has both a military and police/SWAT background with a wealth of knowledge and experience that he is uniquely able to share with his students. Bill is a very serious instructor but at the same time entertaining so what could have been a very dry five hour course was over before I knew it. Bill indicated that he has a number of other courses as well as other in the developmental pipeline. To the extent possible is will be attending all of them. Very good information. Money very well spent.
JOHN T
I have taken multiple classes and 1:1 instruction with Bill. He is very knowledgeable, very practical, and really knows his stuff. He not only teaches you the right way to do things, but he also adds his own personal experience into the mix, making you feel like you will be more prepared for what you encounter in any potential situation. I highly recommend you give him a call if you want to learn more and become a better shooter.
ANTHONY D
Bill is awesome and knowledgeable . He made the training engaging and used real world examples to provide clarity. It’s tremendous that he teaches Use of Force as part of the training and I will definitely be using and referring his services in the future.
